"It's true what they say - the gays have expensive taste. Go to any major metropolitan area in the United States and you're likely to find a "gayborhood:" an enclave of LGBTQ+ residents and businesses that group together for both safety and support. But not all gayborhoods are created equal - some are just as rich as the history and culture they possess."
"You might have guessed it already, but California and New York are particularly expensive areas that LGBTQ+ people also happen to flock to. That doesn't mean all of the wealthiest gayborhoods are in those states, as every state has queer people in both high- and low-income areas. Based on the median home price in each neighborhood, according to data on the real estate website Redfin, here are 10 most expensive gayborhoods in the United States."
"The Hamptons on Long Island, New York, have a median home price of $1.4 million. Your favorite LGBTQ+ celebrity probably has a vacation home here. Made up of golf courses, tennis courts, country clubs, and world-renowned beaches, the Hamptons are synonymous with rich living. The neighborhoods are the premier destination for queer socialites wishing to escape the chaos of New York City for some peace and quiet."
Major U.S. metropolitan areas host gayborhoods where LGBTQ+ residents and businesses cluster for safety and support, but neighborhood wealth varies widely. California and New York contain many of the most expensive gayborhoods, though wealthy queer communities exist nationwide. Rankings use Redfin median home-price data as of November 2025 to list the ten costliest gayborhoods. Examples include Silver Lake in Los Angeles (median $1.47 million) and the Hamptons on Long Island (median $1.4 million), both associated with affluent amenities, nightlife, and leisure options popular among queer residents and socialites.
