Basic economics teaches us that when supply is low, demand is typically high—which might lend an explanation to the priciest ZIP codes in the Greater Philadelphia region. From the Main Line to the Jersey Shore, and Rittenhouse Square in between, the median home value is upward of $450,000. We break down the seven neighborhoods where ultraluxury knows no bounds.
The southern tip of Absecon Island offers summer-ready homes for a median value of $712,000. At 2505 Atlantic Ave.—one of Longport’s newest constructions—natural sunlight radiates throughout three stories. $1.9 million, hartmanhometeam.com
A quintessential Victorian farmhouse lends to the medley of homes averaging $717,000 here. While a total restoration in 2007 updated 508 Penllyn Pike, all-American charm still emanates from its rustic details. $2.95 million, sivelgroupluxury.com
Waterside properties abound at this exclusive Shore point, where the average home values at $1 million. 5499 Dune Drive is no exception, offering endless ocean views from its high dune positioning. $8.7 million, avalonstoneharbor.com
A gray, Italianate facade at 1810 Delancey Place disrupts the congruent rows of red brick found among Rittenhouse Square’s tree- lined streets—and $470,000 average-priced residences. $3.99 million, compass.com
A wraparound driveway and in-ground pool frame the landscape of 533 N. Spring Mill Road in Villanova. The brick Colonial flaunts an expansive layout in this $826,000 neighborhood. $1.4 million, damonmichels.com
The price of homes in Moorestown often falls around $526,000. A standout? The brick-faced, black-shuttered exterior at 716 Walton Court that juxtaposes with nearly all-white interior detailing. $1.55 million, annekoonsrealestate.com
The rank of Gladwyne homes boast a median price of $951,000. Among them is 976 Idlewild Road, a posh 18-room estate tucked within 1.3 acres of lush landscaping. Price available upon request, blacklabelkw.com
