Have you ever driven through a wealthy neighborhood and stopped to marvel at the mansions that stretch to each street corner? These one-of-a-kind locations not only capture the eye, but also the curiosity of those passing by, questioning:

"How much do you think it costs to buy a house like that?"

"Can you imagine what it would be like to live in a place like that?"

Staring at the large brick mailboxes and perfectly manicured lawns that add to the appeal of these giant structures, it's hard not to wonder! While there are many neighborhoods scattered across the state that are home to large estates, only one houses the wealthiest homeowners in California.

According to an updated list compiled by Family Handyman , the most expensive place to live in all of California is Atherton , specifically the 94027 zip code. The median home value for this zip code is a whopping $7,313,400.

Here' what Family Handyman had to say about the most expensive neighborhood in the entire state:

"With a median home value of $7,313,400, Atherton, California is the priciest zip code so far! Location is a big reason why the filthy rich move up here. The town is 45 minutes south of San Francisco, and less than 20 minutes from most of the major tech companies in Silicon Valley."
