Which of these 17 wealthy places sounds most appealing to you?
1) Aspen, Colorado
2) Palm Beach, Florida
3) Malibu, California
4) Mercer Island, Washington
5) Tiburon, California
6) Sun Valley, Idaho
7) La Jolla, California
8) Vail, Colorado
9) Jackson Hole, Wyoming
10) Naples, Florida
11) Greenwich, Connecticut
12) East Hampton, New York
13) Nantucket, Massachusetts
14) St. Simons Island, Georgia
15) Amelia Island, Florida
16) Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
17) Santa Barbara, California
I'll take Tiburon (or adjacent Belvedere) any day. The mild, sunny Mediterranean climate is among the best in the Bay Area, it's right on the water, it has some wonderful mixed use trails for bikers, joggers and walkers, good schools, and if you want entertainment, restaurants and nightlife, you can take the ferry to San Francisco. If you like skiing, Lake Tahoe is only about a 4-5 hour drive away, and it's also an hour or less from the Wine Country.
I should have included Carmel and Monterey, California. Oh well, I am sure that I left out a number of good places. Newport Beach and Laguna, California are a couple other places that I could have or should have mentioned as well.
My family lived in La Jolla and i went to school there but wouldn't want it today. It's lost that village atmosphere it used to have. I love Carmel. Sun Valley is nice (my parents had a home there for several years). But I think I'd choose Hilton Head.
If Martha's Vineyard was a choice, I'd pick it for similar reasons. Difference would be having to take a ferry to Hyannis for more.
As for those on the list, maybe Greenwich due to its proximity to NYC.
