Living in Florida can be expensive but have you ever wondered what the most expensive neighborhoods in Florida are? Well, analysts with American Home Shield did some research to find the top 15 most expensive neighborhoods in the United States. Four of the top 10 are right here in Florida. The neighborhood of Port Royal in Naples comes in #5 overall. The cost per square foot in that neighborhood is $3,375. Coming in #6 is Aqualane Shores also in Naples. The cost per square foot there is $3,132. Additionally, the Star, Palm & Hibiscus Islands neighborhood in Miami Beach has a price per square foot of $2,861 and comes in #8 overall. Finally, rounding out the top 10 is Casa Del Lago in Palm Beach. The average price per square foot in that neighborhood is $2,754.

The Top 10 Most Expensive U.S. Neighborhoods By Price Per Square Foot

South of Market, San Francisco: $5,415
Northwest Auburn, Auburn, California: $4,416
Old Town Carpinteria, Carpinteria, California: $4,129
Downtown Bellevue, Bellevue, Washington: $3,619
Port Royal, Naples, Florida: $3,375
Aqualane Shores, Naples, Florida: $3,132
Stinson Beach, California: $2,988
Star, Palm & Hibiscus Islands, Miami Beach, Florida: $2,861
Crystal Cove, Newport Beach, California: $2,771
Casa del Lago, Palm Beach, Florida: $2,754

American Home Shield looked at the online real estate portal Homes.com to find the average price per square foot of more than 22,000 neighborhoods all over the United States to come up with this list. At least Florida doesn’t have the most expensive city in the United States as that belongs to San Francisco. The #1 most expensive neighborhood is South of Market with a price per square foot of $5,415. However, if you continue down the top 15 there are two more Florida cities that being Fisher Island in Miami at #13 and Jupiter Island at #15. So, if my calculations are correct, that’s six Florida neighborhoods in the top 15. So, yes, there are expensive neighborhoods in Florida but none of them land right here in the Tampa Bay area.
