Median home price: $2,606,764
Amount spent on vacations/yr: $11,023
The expression "if you have to ask how much, you probably can't afford it" aptly sums up the town of Hillsborough. And the leaders here plan to keep it that way. Homes in this northern California enclave can be no smaller than 2,500 feet and no lot is less than half an acre. Moreover, you can't have an apartment here no matter what you can afford - town regulations forbid them, along with condos and townhouses. Bing Crosby hung his fedora here, and Hearst heiress Patty, in her pre-SLA kidnapping days, grew up in Hillsborough.

Tiny Los Altos is the quintessential bedroom community - in fact, the only business in town is a bookstore. This Silicon Valley rural oasis has some of the largest homes in the Bay Area - one home boasts 18,000 square feet of living space - and all dwellings must take up at least an acre of this most prime real estate. The 60-acre Packard orchard is among the natural splendors, but the best feature besides the ritzy homes and choke-a-horse bankrolls is the Pathway System, a 63-mile maze of trails that winds through the pristine town.

Another Chicago suburb, Tom Cruise made "Risky Business" here back in 1983 - well, the script said the family home was in Glencoe at least. Actually, the movie was filmed in nearby Highland Park. The creative juices flow aplenty around Glencoe, with such famous entertainers as Harold Ramis, Bruce Dern and Fred "Wonder Years" Savage calling it home. Palatial homes along the shores of Lake Michigan make Glencoe ideal "for a certain kind of dreamy kid," wrote author Rich Cohen.
