These 8 NJ Zip Codes Are Among Priciest To Buy A House In USA: Zillow
With average home values ranging from to $3.7M to $1.9M, these NJ communities are among the 150 most expensive to buy a home in the country.
NEW JERSEY — The Garden State is home to quite a few high-priced neighborhoods, and the latest data from Zillow shows that eight of these communities are among the most expensive to buy a home in the country.
Average home values in America's 150 priciest ZIP codes range from $7.4 million in part of Atherton, Calif. to 1.9 million in Big Sur, also in the Golden State. Home values actually decreased from March 2024 to March 2025 in a few of these neighborhoods, particularly in fire-ravaged California and in two coastal Florida communities.
That was not the case in the Garden State, where prices in the top ZIP codes increased between 3 and 9 percent year-to-year. However, one New Jersey neighborhood did drop out of the top 150 since the last time Patch crunched these real estate numbers, back in October: 07696, which is the Morris County community of New Vernon.

Deal Borough (07723) still tops the list of most expensive ZIP codes in New Jersey. Since last March, home values have increased almost 6 percent (about $207,000) to $3,716,415.
Two other Jersey Shore communities had more than a 9 percent increase in home values over the past year: Mantoloking and Allenhurst. Right now, the typical home value in Mantoloking is $1.9 million and in Allenhurst it is $2.1 million.

Alpine, Avalon, Sea Girt, Short Hills, and Stone Harbor are also within the top 150.
Meanwhile, the average New Jersey home value is $542,608 — an increase of 7.2 percent over the past year, according to Zillow. Homes on the market go to pending in around 24 days.
Zillow calculates these numbers with their Home Value Index (ZHVI). The "typical home value" represent the values of all properties in the middle third of the market, not just the sale prices.
