“Snobby” might sound like an insult… but in these towns, it’s basically a compliment. The people here are thriving — we’re talking jaw-dropping home prices, elite educations, high-powered careers, and lifestyles dripping with luxury and cultural cachet.
Thanks to US Census data (and a little AI magic), Hudson Valley Post uncovered New York’s most self-assured zip codes. Spoiler: Westchester and Nassau County basically own the list.
Here’s your top 10 — with a StacyKnows twist
10. Old Westbury (Nassau County)
Median home value? Over $1.8 million. Even the squirrels here probably have trust funds.
9. New Castle (Westchester County)
Median household income over $244,000. The PTA here could probably buy a small country.
8. Larchmont (Westchester County)
Seventy-five percent of adults have at least a bachelor’s degree. The other 25% probably own the yacht club.
7. Manhasset (Nassau County)
Median home value? $1.2 million and climbing. You can smell the designer handbags from the train station.
6. Muttontown (Nassau County)
Median household income: $200,000+. Yes, it sounds like a farm, but the only livestock here are luxury SUVs.
5. Chappaqua (Westchester County)
Over 80% of residents work in management or professional roles. Even the baristas have résumés that intimidate you.
4. Rye (Westchester County)
Mean household income: $421,259. That’s not a typo — and yes, they call that “comfortable.”
3. Sands Point (Nassau County)
Median household income: $231,667. Waterfront mansions, sweeping lawns, and not a pizza slice under $5.
2. Bronxville (Westchester County)
Median household income: $215,726. If Ralph Lauren were a village, it would be this.
1. Scarsdale (Westchester County)
Over 90% of adults hold a bachelor’s degree or higher. The schools here are harder to get into than some Ivy Leagues — and the parking lots look like luxury car showrooms.
Final Thought:
Whether you’re impressed, amused, or rolling your eyes, one thing’s clear: posh in New York isn’t about turning your nose up — it’s about having the real estate, the income, and the resume to back it up. And honestly? Who wouldn’t want to sip an oat milk latte in a zip code that practically glitters?
