In our second annual <\/span>Most Expensive Zip Codes Report<\/span><\/i>, we at RealtyHop pulled every real estate listing advertised in the United States so far this year, 2.79 million of them, and sorted these properties by zip code. We then ranked these zips by median price, resulting in a list of the most expensive markets in the nation right now.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The most expensive zip codes in the United States are unsurprisingly located in already pricey regions of the country. <\/span>Atherton<\/span><\/a>\u2019s 94027, the most expensive zip code at a median of $8,950,000, is an upscale community located in the heart of Silicon Valley.<\/span><\/p>\n The nation\u2019s second most expensive, 33109\u2019s <\/span>Fisher Island<\/span><\/a>, Florida is an exclusive enclave off the coast of Miami with only a few hundred households. This zip has an <\/span>average per capita income of over $2M<\/span><\/a>, and a median housing price this year of $6,400,000.<\/span><\/p>\n The zip code 11962 in <\/span>Sagaponack<\/span><\/a> (located in the Hamptons), is New York state\u2019s most expensive zip code, and third priciest overall. Famous inhabitants of Sagaponack include Billy Joel, Lloyd Blankfein, Jimmy Fallon, Drew Barrymore, and others.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The nation\u2019s 100 priciest zips are located in just 11 states, with 83% found within California and New York. (In fact, Fisher Island, FL was the only zip code outside of these two states to break the top 15 in our ranking.)<\/span><\/p>\n New Jersey was a distant third place with 5 zip codes and Connecticut fourth with 3 zip codes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Similar to last year, Los Angeles remains the most exclusive city in the country. LA commands 8 of the top 100 most expensive zip codes, while nearby Newport Beach, CA has another 6 zips.<\/span><\/p>\n Beverly Hills<\/span><\/a> 90210 was LA\u2019s top zip code (4th overall), followed by <\/span>Bel Air<\/span><\/a> 90077 (7th overall), and the <\/span>Pacific Palisades<\/span><\/a> 90272 (12th overall).<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n While home prices across all areas rose relative to 2020 values, certain zip codes saw tremendous growth this year. The strongest of which was 11954 in <\/span>Montauk, New York<\/span><\/a>, up 33.62% to a median of $2,599,000, followed by 11975 in <\/span>Wainscott, New York<\/span><\/a>, which was up 28.68% to $2,995,000.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This Most Expensive Zip Codes Report analyzed the most expensive zip codes in the United States using over 2.79 million for-sale listings drawn from the <\/span>RealtyHop<\/span><\/a> database during the period between January 1, 2021 and October 20, 2021. To produce the ranking, the median price for each zip code was calculated and sorted from most expensive to least.<\/span><\/p>\n The following building types were used to calculate median sales price: condo, co-op, house, multifamily, residential, townhouse, and triplex. Any listings classified purely as \u201cland\u201d were excluded from the study. Any listings with invalid zip codes, including single building zips located in New York City, were also excluded.<\/span><\/p>\n For more information on our methodology, or to contact our data team, please email <\/span>press@renthop.com<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\nKey Findings:<\/span><\/h2>\n
