Many wealthy cities and towns dot America. Typically known for their pristine amenities, fabulous attractions, shopping boutiques, and a plethora of things to do, it's no wonder why some people choose to live in these places if they can afford it. They can even become their own tourist destination, as well.
Sometimes, those affluent areas are not too far from our own neighborhoods or hangouts. For those curious about these affluent locations, 24/7 Wall St. did a deep dive to determine the wealthiest town in each state.
