Two Long Island Hamlets Just Cracked the Top 10 Most Expensive ZIP Codes in the U.S. — Here's Why

Two Long Island Hamlets Just Cracked the Top 10 Most Expensive ZIP Codes in the U.S. — Here's Why

Long Island’s East End is no stranger to luxury — but this kind of luxury? We’re talking homes with median listing prices higher than some celebrity net worths. According to a fresh report from Realtor.com, two ZIP codes from our very own Long Island landed in the top 10 most expensive in the country.

So, who made the cut? Say hello (again) to Bridgehampton (11932) and Water Mill (11976) — two ritzy hamlets where “starter homes” are practically extinct and $10 million properties come with tennis courts, infinity pools, and maybe even a vineyard or two.

Let’s break it down.

#3: Bridgehampton, NY (11932)

Median Listing Price: $8.495 Million
Median Square Footage: 4,748 sq. ft.
Top-End Listings: Up to $59 million

Bridgehampton is no stranger to big numbers, but this year, it officially ranks third in the nation for the most expensive ZIP codes. Nearly every listing in this upscale village breaks the $1 million mark — and we’re not talking fixer-uppers.

Think modern estates with chef’s kitchens, guest houses, and views for days. But despite the luxury, online interest has dipped, with listing views down 28% year-over-year. Could it be luxury buyer fatigue? Or maybe everyone’s just quietly buying in cash and skipping the Zillow scroll.

 #8: Water Mill, NY (11976)

Median Listing Price: $6.845 Million
Median Square Footage: 5,191 sq. ft.
Top-End Listings: A jaw-dropping $61 million

Not to be outdone, Water Mill also snagged a top 10 spot — and honestly, we saw this coming. This serene slice of the Hamptons is known for wide-open fields, waterfront mansions, and a more under-the-radar luxury vibe.

But here’s the twist: Water Mill saw a 49% drop in listing views compared to last year. Fewer clicks, same eye-watering prices.

How Long Island Compares Nationally

While Long Island had two strong contenders, Fisher Island in Miami Beach took the top spot overall with a median listing price of $11.925 million. Not far behind? Newport Coast in Newport Beach, CA, clocking in at $9.099 million.

And as per usual, California dominated the list with seven out of ten ZIP codes coming from the Golden State. (Apparently, ocean views and tech money still reign supreme.)

What Does This Mean for Buyers & Sellers?

Whether you're a seasoned investor or just love browsing homes you may never buy (we see you), this report is a clear signal: Long Island’s East End is still prime luxury real estate territory.

However, the drop in listing views could mean opportunity for savvy buyers — especially those who come prepared with strong offers in a market that values discretion and deep pockets.

Key Takeaways:

• Bridgehampton and Water Mill both cracked the top 10 most expensive ZIP codes in the U.S.

• Listing prices range from $6.8M to over $8.4M — with top listings reaching $59M+

• Views are down, but prices remain high — a trend to watch in the luxury market.

• Long Island joins luxury heavy-hitters like Miami Beach and Newport Beach on the national stage.
