Most Expensive Zip Code in the US

Forbes 2006 list of the most expensive zip codes in America for median home sales has recently been released. Topping their list this year is the expensive zip of 11962 Sagaponack, New York, which is a waterfront Hamptons location. The 2005 median home sale price of $2,787,500 eclipsed the price of $2,445,000 which was the second most expensive zip code, 92067 Rancho Santa Fe, California. California ZIPs made up half of Forbes’ top 500 most expensive ZIP codes in the U.S., even though previously they failed to make smaller lists.

Last year, Forbes 2005 listed zip code 94027 Atherton, California, south of San Francisco as the most expensize zip code in the US for median home sales. In the top 50: 30 are in California, 6 in New York, and 3 each in New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.

Forbes 2002 lists zip code 33455, Jupiter Island, Florida as the most expensive zip code in the United States at median home price of $5.6 million.

Beverly Hills, California zip code 90210, failed to make the cut? This is possibly the most famous ZIP code in the country, with a median home price of $1.042 million in 2002, but not pricey enough to make it even within Forbes’ top 15 ZIPs of 2003.

The 2002 U.S. median home price was just $158,300, well below the most expensive zip code’s median. Did you know US ZIP codes were only implemented starting in the 1960s?
