The beautiful, quaint little town of Larchmont has a humble history, but a very lavish present. The oldest house in the town dates back to 1797, and it belonged to John Jay’s nephew. Jay was North America’s first chief justice of the Supreme Court.
Nowadays, that house is a gorgeously well-preserved manor that is one in a long list of spectacular estates in Larchmont. The average home price is $1 million, with a seven-bedroom house costing up to $10 million.
West University Place, Texas
A suburb of Houston, West University Place gets its name from Rice University, located close by. Ironically, no student in the world could actually afford to live there, since a four-bedroom house can cost up to $4 million. Every street is named after a world-renowned author or poet, which just makes the place all that more classy.
This makes sense only because the town's average household income is $330,000, which means that the average resident makes almost four times more than the average American family.
Travilah, Maryland
Travilah is another beautiful suburb north of Washington, D.C., and it's one of Maryland's finest kept secrets. With an average household income of nearly $300K, Travilah is a very wealthy little town, with a little over 12,000 people. It's so small that it doesn't even have its own zip code, instead, it gets lumped in the general area of "The Potomac".
Another haven for American politicians, Travilah is known for its luscious gardens and landscapes, which are a perfect contrast to the massive villas and houses.
Palm Beach, Florida
Famous for being the ultimate vacation town, Palm Beach certainly has a lot to offer. For the wealthy few that get to call Palm Beach their permanent home, it is truly a dream come true. Situated right on the Atlantic Ocean, the views and landscapes are just jaw-dropping.
The famous Florida beach town offers a wide range of mansions, with prices that can go as high as $44 million. And of course, for those people for whom the entire ocean is not enough, they can go for the mansions with a pool, which should add another few hundred thousand dollars to the property.
Winnetka, Illinois
If you ever go to Illinois, be sure to keep going north after you've spent a few days in Chicago and head up to the village of Winnetka. Apart from being the home of the famous 'Home Alone' house, it is one of the wealthiest towns in North America, filled with stunning mansions and green landscapes.
Although we have to warn you, the average household makes over $330,000, which means that most houses in Winnetka, even the cheaper ones, are probably worth a few million dollars.
