Fifth place: Glenbrook, Nevada
Incredible right? In fifth place do not appear the renowned cities mentioned at the beginning of the article, but Glenbrook, Nevada. It is an absolutely sui generis neighborhood, which in 2020 had only 287 carefully selected inhabitants. The neighborhood develops on Lake Tahoe and envelops a community that operates with a view to self-sustainability. For this reason, public access is not allowed, both in the neighborhood and in the splendid beaches that line the lake. Here, in this timeless paradise, a house is sold for an average price of 7 million euros.


Fourth place: Atherton, California
Atherton is a small American town in San Mateo County, California. As Wikipedia states in 2019 “it has become the city with the highest per capita income among American cities”. As with Glenbrook, the population is quite small, no more than 7,000 people. In this corner of Californian paradise, a house costs an average of 10 million euros.


Third place: Port Royal, Florida
We remain in America also for the third position, with Port Royal, a luxury neighborhood in Naples, Florida. Thanks to its beaches overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, accommodation and homes in this area have skyrocketed in prices, counting that many of these have a structure similar to a ranch and guarantee direct access to the beach. Undoubtedly an intriguing scenario, which leads the buyer to spend an average of 17 million euros per home.


Second place: Paterson Hill, Singapore
Elegant, refined and characterized by ultra-modern palaces and buildings. This is Paterson Hill, a Singapore neighborhood located on the River Valley. Here we can find penthouses and apartments with private pools overlooking the city, or entire shops dedicated only to the inhabitants of the building. Unbridled luxury that leads houses to cost up to 43 million euros.


First Place: Kensington Palace Gardens, London
It could only be in London the most expensive neighborhood in the world. This is Kensington Palace Gardens, located in West London. This neighborhood is known as Billionaire's Road, precisely because of the exorbitant number of millionaires who own a home there. It should be emphasized that in Kensington many houses are often sold only to representatives of embassies or tycoons with huge capital to invest. A select audience of buyers that brings the cost of houses to an average of 44 million euros.
