FL Neighborhood Among Most Popular In Country, Realtor.com Says

BOYNTON BEACH, FL — If you're searching for one of the most popular neighborhoods in the country, you just have to go to Boynton Beach, located less than 60 miles north of Miami. The Aberdeen neighborhood in the town landed at No. 5 on Realtor.com's list of the most popular neighborhoods in the United States.

Economists at Realtor.com identified the most popular neighborhoods by determining how many views each listing in those markets received in January compared to the typical U.S. home.

In the neighborhood of Aberdeen, the median home list price last month was just $341,250, which was significantly less than the national median, explaining its spike in popularity among prospective homebuyers.

The sun-soaked, palm tree-dotted area has much to recommend itself to families, the real estate website said, including some of Florida's most popular beaches, parks and wetlands, and museums.

The most sought-after neighborhoods spread the length of the nation, from sunny California to snowy Connecticut. All of these neighborhoods also offer homebuyers options that range widely in price, Realtor.com said.

"The more affordable neighborhoods near the top of the list likely draw buyer attention for their low home prices and considerable bang for your buck," says Realtor.com senior economic research analyst Hannah Jones. "Many of the most popular neighborhoods are in the South, a region that boasts relatively high inventory levels and easing home price growth."

The Woodmont section of Milford, Connecticut, emerged as the No. 1 popular neighborhood in the county with the exclusive Beverly Crest section of Los Angeles ranking No. 2, where an average home goes for north of $5 million.

The top 10 lists includes communities across the country from Montana to Texas to South Carolina. Check out the full list by clicking here.
