and many other pro athletes when they aren't in jail or in a no-state-income-tax area (FL)
 
Most people with new money live in the suburbs with cookie cutter houses with no yards. One of the nicer neighborhoods is Bridgewater in Ridgeland, MS where Bernie Ebbers lived before going to jail.

The old money is in NE Jackson, MS in an area called Eastover. Lots of really unique houses with huge lots. Pretty much everyone who lives there don't care about the public schools... they only send their kids to private schools.

Regency in Omaha, NE is probably one of the nicest neighborhoods in town. However, the only one with more expensive homes is this place located around 132nd and Dodge.

I used to car pool with a guy that lived in that area around 132nd & Dodge. Those houses between Dodge and Maple are freaking insane. It's kind of funny when a guy lives in a $500k home and he's "slumming" it compared to the 1,000,000 plus one down the block.

Probably the town I'm from. Very little crime, one of the top high schools in the state, average houses are going for $300-500K at the moment.

Newtown, PA

Sheesh...what did he do? You must have lived around there too, huh? What the heck did you do?

Those homes are monsterous.
 
It doesn't really work that way here. Most of the people in my county live in this town, and it's all the same town (no area names really). The nicest neighborhood is up on the hill overlooking part of town.
 
I live in one of the richest counties in the country, it's pretty much all "nice area" except a housing complex a town over.

the nicest places aren't neighborhoods perse but mansions out on the backroads with a ton of land around them.

McLean, VA. Arlington in general is pretty nice, but not as nice as our neighbor.

I was thinking about moving to McLean, VA for a job after graduation. Where do you live?

You live in Fairfax or Loudoun County?
 
Probably Woodbury or Southbury, CT.

There is nothing wrong with the section of Waterbury I live in, though... it's right next to the Country Club, and is quite swank compared to the rest of this dump.

A house there also costs about half as much as those other two places I just mentioned as well.

Isleworth is a few miles away.

Home to Tiger Woods and a bunch of other rich golfers. Shaq still has a home there too I believe.

Cheapest new house listed there right now is nearly 3 million.
Most expensive is 11.5 million.
 
hmm... i live in manhattan, so its kinda hard to say... i guess any condo above the 12th floor (cuz thats my floor) is considered 'nicer' than mine here on the Upper West Side.

I f'n hate the bay area. A middle class neighborhood with small old homes on small lots still runs over $1 mill per house.

Wasn't THAT high. Anyways, it's nowhere near that now!
 
I don't know if this would qualify as a neighborhood, but I live about a 1/2 mile from Belleville Lake which is 7-8 miles long. The houses that ring the lake start at $250K (a shack) to $4M even in these times of depressed SE Michigan prices.
