The name might be a bit long and hard to pronounce, but this doesn’t matter once you see La Cañada Flintridge’s stunning mountain views and breathtaking mansions. Located in Los Angeles County, this town has become increasingly expensive over the years, and landlords are quite aware of it.
A house here can cost up to $6 million, and despite its beautiful nature, it is quite a bustling city when you visit the downtown area. Still, it looks like some of the town’s famous residents (the likes of Angela Bassett, Miley Cyrus, Kevin Costner, Vince Vaughn, or Alfred Molina, to name a few) aren’t really bothered by the prices.

Wolf Trap, Virginia
Wolf Trap, located in Virginia's Fairfax County, is one of the most affluent towns in the state. It has beautiful, traditional-style houses located in vast, bright green fields and forests.
