As avid TV enthusiasts, we often come across pretty houses and beautiful neighborhoods shown in several shows and movies. I can’t speak for others but, sometimes I fantasize about how it would feel to live in one of those expensive places while enjoying my favorite shows using Spectrum TV App. Although New York State overall is quite expensive to live in, there are some places in the state that some people simply can’t afford.
Whenever anyone says New York, people immediately think of the city that never sleeps, the city of New York. Even though it is a largely populated city with very expensive apartments (even for renting), it isn’t the only city in the state. There are so many cities and towns all over the state and many of them have a huge price tag when it comes to houses. Here are some of the most expensive cities to live in New York State. The ranking is based on things like per capita income and population, etc.
- Bronxville, New York
Bronxville is not ‘the Bronx’ but, a village that is actually located in the town called Eastchester. It only has a population of approx. 6,000 however, it is one of the most expensive and historic suburban areas to live in the state of New York. It’s situated about 15 miles far from Manhattan with a per capita income of almost $89,000. You may have to pay anywhere from $8 hundred thousand to $5 million if you’re interested in buying a house here.

A Word of Advice…
No matter where you live, one of the most important aspects to look out for is the availability of basic amenities like power, water, gas, and internet & cable service, etc. If I had to move to any of these places, I’d dial Spectrum’s phone number to find out if they offer their services there too. It is simply too much hassle to find a new internet and cable service provider, especially if you’ve found the one that’s perfect for you.
