Again, the most underrated city.
Was just gonna say the same thing. Inside the city, Chestnut Hill, belongs on that list. Outside the city the entire Main Line belongs on that list including some its satellites, Gladwynne and Villanova.

How could you overlook the Grosse Pointe communities of Detroit? These epitomize old money - old auto executives galore lived there.

In the "Other" category, you also missed -- if others haven't pointed them out already -- the old money neighborhoods in San Francisco, like Pacific Heights and Nob Hill; the Homeland neighborhood in Baltimore; and Georgetown in DC.

And I wouldn't really include the Upper West Side of Manhattan as "old money" at all, in the way most people think of that term. It's certainly has its multimillion-dollar apartments on West End Ave, Central Park West, and Riverside Drive. But prices aren't generally at the same level as across the park on the East Side. And historically much of the UWS has been the haunt of affluent Jewish families -- who were excluded from the WASP, blue-blood, old-money Park Ave and Fifth Ave buildings -- and more recently new money from entertainment, media, medicine, and law. But most New Yorkers don't consider the UWS an "old money" type of place at all.

My opinion is that the Upper East Side of Manhattan is the gold standard of old money neighborhoods.

Beverly Hills/Bel Air are great too for what they are.
