Looking to move on up?

If so, you’ve better have a lot of case on hand. According to Forbes magazine, the median price tag of a home in the most expensive zip code in the US (94027, (Atherton, CA) tops $2 million dollars. You read that right, that’s the median home price.

If you don’t have $2 million laying around but still want to live in a top 20 zip, you could always slum it down in Los Altos for a paltry $1.4 million. Chump change to those in Atherton, I’m sure.
