The 10 Most Expensive Cities to Live in the U.S.

9. Beverly Hills, California

Beverly Hills, the glamorous home of movie stars, is a place that screams luxury. Living here costs way more than in other parts of Los Angeles, with annual expenses averaging $344,303 per year for residents (according to Go Banking Rates). If you can't manage nearly $30,000 each month, without even considering savings, moving to Beverly Hills might not be an option. The average value of a home in this exclusive area is more than $5.32 million (as per Zillow). That means a down payment of over one million if you're looking to buy.
