The richest suburbs in America have been named -- and the East Coast is cleaning up.
A new GOBankingRates report finds that New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, and Virginia communities are holding their own (and then some) among the country's priciest and most prosperous addresses.
For the second year in a row, Scarsdale, NY wore the crown. The leafy Westchester enclave boasts an average household income of $601,193 in 2023 -- up 2.2 percent from the year before -- and home values pushing past $1.2 million.
Not far behind was Rye, NY, where the average household brings in $421,259 and home prices have jumped 4.4 percent to nearly $1.9 million.
New Jersey made a strong showing:
Connecticut's Greenwich (Rank 34) also cracked the top tier with an average income of $297,081 and home values topping $2.4 million.
The Washington, D.C., suburbs also packed a punch:
These Beltway communities are known for luxury estates, high-powered residents, and real estate values that rival any in the nation.
