Most Expensive Cities in the US

Quick! Name the most expensive cities in the United States! If you’re like me (and most Americans, according to one survey), you would guess New York City…and you’d be wrong! In fact, two cities can boast higher housing prices than the Big Apple.

Washington D.C. is the one of the most expensive cities in the nation for housing, according to the recent survey published by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics. San Francisco takes the second spot, and New York City rounds out the top three. All three of these cities have annual housing expenditures in excess of $22,500 — quite a bit more than the national average of $16,887!
