11 Most Expensive Cities to Buy a Home in the US

3. New York, NY, 10013

Median property asking price: $6,065,314

Where has New York been hiding for so long – most of you are probably asking themselves? There are a few New York zip codes that could have made the list, but we have decided only to include the most expensive one as the Big Apple would have simply dominated this list otherwise. That’s why you won’t find Chelsea and Upper East Side here, for instance. New York’s own 10013 zip code exhibits cast iron architecture and steadily high prices. Welcome to SoHo. Being Manhattan’s artistic center, SoHo represents one of city’s most sought after neighborhoods, but Greenwich Village is rapidly becoming similarly desirable as well. In fact, 10012, 10013, and 10014 together warrant a median asking price of $5.5 million. This makes Greenwich Village and SoHo the most expensive Manhattan and New York neighborhood overall. Moreover, 10013 is the most expensive New York City zip code by closing prices.
