Mostly rich neighborhoods or neighborhoods which have great houses, good schools, and everything of that nature.

Did majority of them go to college in places like Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, MIT, Oxford, Duke, Emory, Rice, Northwestern, and other top notch colleges for their undergraduate degree?

Hamptons are essentially a lot of summer homes. Many of the locals (that I know) are the products of the SUNY System, or have families that have owned their property from ages ago.

In Newport Beach, there are a lot of USC and Stanford grads. There are also alot of UC Irvine Graduatesa. Quite a few of them have no college education at all. Then. like the Hamptons, there are alot of families that have lived there for generations.

I live in Beverly Hills... my dad went to Yale and Harvard, I took my English courses at Harvard but didn't finish my degree. I'm probably in the minority in this sense; most people around here have degrees from reasonably-prestigious universities and are shocked to find out I just have a high school diploma and some college credits.

Interestingly, my parents live in working/middle-class Bedford, MA. My dad was also career military and is an educator by profession, so they're not exactly loaded. I burned out on academia early on and wanted more than what I got growing up, and this is the road I've taken and where it's led me.

As I have said before the equivelent of the Hamptons does not exist in OC There are no significantly lager parcells of land left to build upon...If you were some how able to obtain acreages along the beach front...these would be by far the most expensive properties in the US..[people already pay prime Manhatttan prices for tiny condos and studios in Laguna Beach..find an acre lot ocean front anywhere close to Crystal Cove or anywhere that small strand along coastal Laguna Beach North and you will see the highest priced poperty in the US..This includes Manhattan,Aspen.Los Angeles. There was however a 1/2 acre lot available with a 3,600 sqft. house in CDM for 95 million...The Hamptpns are cheap when it COMES TO PSF..and land value among the more desirble California areas.
