But at a 3)median home price at 3.9 million dollars and the lower end homes running in the 4 to 5 million range. Down near the National Wildlife Refuge, the people who live on Jupiter come for privacy. Few if any homes are visible from the road. There's nothing commercial here.

美国最富的城镇


 


      美国最富的城镇是哪?《价值》杂志的第六届排名公布了250个最富的城镇及家庭,其中名列首位的是佛罗里达州的在大西洋岸、西棕榈滩以北30英里的朱庇特岛。


      佛州朱庇特岛犹如大西洋上一道天然屏障,长约10公里,宽1/4至半英里。一个中等住家的价格是390万美元,最便宜的住宅也要45百万美元。在国家野生动物园的近旁,人们住朱庇特岛是奔着隐私而来的。从路旁几乎见不到住户。这儿也没有商业气息。他们是为了安静而来--真正的安静。在有的城镇,你在特定时段里是不能发出噪音的--从十月到四月你不能发出任何噪音。这套房子有手绘天花板、大泳池、豪华套房,大小1万平方英尺,房价是140万美元,不过此价并非最贵的,朱庇特岛上有的房屋可卖到34千万美元呢。


富裕程度次于朱庇特岛的是:第2名加州的阿瑟顿;第3名科罗拉多州的阿斯班;第4名加州的洛阿图斯;第5名加州的贝维德尔。
