Think you know how the 1% lives? Blinged-out mansions with gold errythang, elaborate custom pool grotto, and maids and butlers scurrying down long, marble-tiled hallways? Sure, places like that exist, but the reality is, what’s considered the crème de la crème of real estate varies from state to state.
Recently, the realtor.com® data team crunched the numbers and pinpointed the most expensive ZIP codes in every state in America. Some were neighborhoods in big cities, some were entire towns in themselves. The list also took us on a fascinating tour of the best that each state in the nation has to offer: mansions set on rolling, emerald lawns in Greenwich, CT; historic brownstones in Boston; and picturesque horse farms in the suburbs of Louisville, KY.
We wanted to take a closer look at what’s on the market in those swanky areas, so we sifted through our listings. Whether you’re lucky enough to have deep pockets you can turn out to buy, or you just want to check out what luxury means in your state—and others—here are 12 homes for sale right now in America’s most expensive neighborhoods.
