Upscale Bargain Hunting! Cheapest Houses in the 10 Most Expensive ZIP Codes

Aside from “location, location, location,” the most clichéd—er, basic—real estate wisdom you’ll receive is to “buy the cheapest house in the best neighborhood.”

Whether that’s a savvy strategy is a debate for another day. Today, we’re intrigued by a list of neighborhoods recently released by Property Shark. And these luxury locales aren’t simply the “best” neighborhoods in the country, they’re the most expensive.

Inspired by the housing mantra of scoring a bargain in a haute hood, we examined homes for sale in the 10 most most exorbitant ZIP codes. We made it our mission to find the lowest-priced listing in each one of the pricey places.

We found you don’t need to be a multi-multimillionaire to live in Beverly Hills or Atherton in California, or New York City. (Of course, it helps!) In fact, there are (relative) bargain buys to be had in each of these zippiest of  ZIPs.

Here are the cheapest listings for each of the most expensive spots in the country.
