Six New Jersey towns just made a new list of the most expensive towns in America, according to PropertyShark.

Wow. This makes the Garden State seem so boujie, well, parts of it, at least.

PropertyShark’s study focused on actual sales data instead of listing prices. Anybody can list their house high, but what matters is what it actually sells for.

Finished deals show a clearer picture of the area/market's true value.

In these neighborhoods, many homes are sold well above the asking price.

With interest rates still on the high side, young buyers are finding it tough to buy at all.

The climb of New Jersey's expensive real estate had been steady, but in 2024 there was a huge jump.

Now there are six NJ towns in the top 100 most expensive towns in America.

These are the long-gone NJ mall stores we miss the most

With so many trends of the 1990's back in style, it's a great time to look back at a strong foundation of 80's and 90's culture — New Jersey mall shopping. Some stores were a highlight, every trip.
