12) Summit
Summit is a small city that is full of life. Despite its small population of 21,000, the city has one of the best hospitals in the state, an arboretum, an opera house, a well-stocked public library, and a vibrant economy. The per capita income is 166% higher in Summit than in other parts of the U.S. The median household income in Summit is more than double the average household income in the U.S. That’s because the town has produced dozens of celebrities, politicians, Nobel Laureates and corporate executives. A few of the famous neighborhood residents include Meryl Streep, Lindsey McKeon, Nikki James, and Tracy DiMarco were all born in Summit. That may contribute to the reason why the median house price is 333% higher than the national average.
