A small village on Long Island has long been considered a hidden gem of New York, and is now ranked the wealthiest small town in the state.<\/p>\n

Muttontown, with a population of less than 3,500, was deemed the most prosperous small town in a recent analysis conducted by Go Banking Rates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The study used property prices and median incomes and reviewed only communities with 500 to 1,500 households.<\/p>\n

The company found that Muttontown residents, on average, had a median household income of $247,589 and resided in properties worth around $2.2 million.<\/p>\n

Despite the tiny town earning the top rank in wealth, it had the lowest livability score amongst all the cities on the list, with a rating of 56.<\/p>\n

Livability scores are drawn from the site AreaVibes, which is an algorithm that combines various factors, including local amenities, cost of living<\/a>, crime<\/a> rates, education, and others.<\/p>\n

Among the tiny population are big-name celebrities like Grammy Award-winning artist Alicia Keys.<\/p>\n

The affluent neighborhood is about 31 miles east of Manhattan.<\/p>\n

The village is a stone’s throw away from Oyster Bay, where visitors or locals can take tours on boats and fish.<\/p>\n

One of the town’s more exclusive offerings is the Muttontown Club, a country club with golf, fitness areas, and pools all centered around the pristine manor.<\/p>\n

The top seven most expensive places to live in the state of New York are all located on Long Island, according to a previous study done by Go Banking Rates.<\/p>\n

Of those seven towns, four were located in Nassau County, which includes Muttontown.<\/p>\n

The other three areas were all located in Suffolk County.<\/p>\n

Muttontown had the lowest livability score amongst all the cities across the US, with a rating of 56<\/p>\n

Another analysis from the company found that Scarsdale, a tiny town in Westchester County, was the wealthiest suburb in the US.<\/p>\n

Aside from New York, its sister state to the west, New Jersey has its wealthiest town, even closer to Manhattan than Muttontown.<\/p>\n

Glen Ridge is only about 15 miles from the Big Apple and has a high livability score of 88.<\/p>\n

The northeastern town has a population of 13,471 residents with a median household income of $248,016.<\/p>\n

While Glen Ridge and Muttontown boast similar incomes, Jersey’s wealthiest town’s average home costs practically half as much at $1,132,974.<\/p>\n
