#1 and #2 Wealthiest Suburbs in America Are Located in New York

New York State is a great place to live. While its New England neighbors often get attention for their great quality of life, New York has a ton to offer its residents. From its rich history, natural beauty, and diverse culture, there is something for everyone.

It likely won't come as a surprise New York is home to almost 20 million people, making it the fourth most populated state in the nation, only behind, California, Texas, and Florida, respectively.

When we talk about diversity, from its landscapes and lifestyle to its residents, New York is unmatched. The state has 47,000 square miles of wilderness, including the Adirondack Mountains, which offer hiking trails, ski resorts, lakes, rivers, and streams. But just around the corner from that natural beauty is perhaps the world's most bustling metropolis, New York City.

The combination of city life and country living is appealing to many folks which is why suburbs of major cities are some of the most popular places to live in the United States. They can also be some of the most affluent areas in the country. GoBankingRates.com recently looked at the wealthiest suburbs in the nation and not one, but two New York areas topped the list.
