Homes in Los Alamitos and Rossmoor ain’t cheap.
The 90720 zip code made it into Forbes' annual list of America's most expensive ZIP codes released last month.
The zip code, which includes Rossmoor and Los Alamitos, was the 403th most expensive in the nation.
Forbes, with the assistance of Altos Research, examined prices in more than 22,000 ZIP codes from June 28 through Sept. 28 and looked at the median asking price for single-family homes and condominiums. The analysis was limited to ZIPs where 10 or more residences were on the market.
According to the magazine's analysis, the median home price during the survey period in Los Alamitos was $733,048, a 0.4 percent increase over last year.
A Los Al home, on average, remains on the market in that area of the city for 97 days, and at the time of the survey, there were 71 properties listed.
