11 Most Expensive Cities to Buy a Home in the US

5. Alpine, NJ, 07620

Median asking price: $4,946,577

The most expensive town in New Jersey and one of the most expensive east coast zip codes warrants a median asking prices of slightly below $5 million. As if it weren’t enough to be located just 15 miles north of Manhattan, across the Hudson – Alpine offers model east coast scenery, calm, and quiet surroundings to its wealthy inhabitants. It’s a perfect commuting town in proximity to New York’s most important corporate headquarters, but still far enough from noise, crowds, and the hurried way of life which the Big Apple brings.
