With housing prices climbing, it might seem like most of Los Angeles is the pricey part of town, but of course there are still a few little platinum enclaves that are the cream of the crop. To zero in on those bastions of wealth, we look to Forbes‘s annual list of the most expensive zip codes in the country. Their tally takes into consideration data for the median housing price in more than 29,500 zip codes “covering 95% of the U.S. population,” and returns with six LA-area zip codes in just the top 40. The extremely deep-pocketed might want to focus their house-hunting in on the following:
