FLORIDA — If you are looking to move to or within Florida, be mindful there are three counties deemed the most expensive, according to a new list that ranks 150 ZIP codes with the most expensive home prices in the U.S.

The list was created using Zillow data from February, which showed that the typical home value in Florida is $392,306 — slightly higher than the nationwide value of $347,716 and 3 percent high over the past year.

The three Florida ZIP codes with the highest typical home value as of February are Miami Beach in Miami-Dade County at 33109, Lee County at 33921 and Manatee County at 34216, data shows.

The top three towns with the highest typical home value nationally are Atherton in San Mateo County, California, Miami Beach and Beverly Hills in Los Angeles County, California, with values at $7,482,537, $5,817,811 and $5,379,834 respectively.
