14 美国最富的城镇

美国最富的城镇是哪儿?《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位于大西洋岸边、西棕榈海滩以北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英里,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4、5百万美元。在国家野生动物园的近旁,人们住朱庇特岛是为了隐私而来的。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。在有些城镇,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1400万美元,不过此价并非最贵的,朱庇特岛上有的房屋可卖到3、4千万美元呢。

富裕程度次于朱庇特岛的是:第二名加州的阿瑟顿,第三名科罗拉多州的阿斯班,第四名加州的洛阿图斯,第五名加州的贝维德尔。
