Since more and more buyers are looking to take their search outside the 5 boroughs, we rounded up the top 50 most expensive zip codes in Upstate New York, based on the median home sale price in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>While both Dutchess and Orange Counties each have 10 entries ranked on our list, it\u2019s <strong>Putnam <\/strong>that takes the cake with the top two priciest zip codes: <strong>10516 <\/strong>and <strong>10524<\/strong>. Coming in third is <strong>12874 <\/strong>in Warren County. In fact, the top three entries are the only rankings to break the $400,000 threshold last year. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elliman.com\/pdf\/4ad2f274be7437d86d84a68dc4e534c20fb29e4f\">Douglas Elliman<\/a>, Q4 2018 marked the third annual sales increase in Putnam. Although median sale prices saw the seventh consecutive annual increase in the area, the top two zip codes were nonetheless absent from our list of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/most-expensive-zip-codes-in-the-us\">most expensive zip codes in the U.S.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>10516 <\/strong>in Cold Spring and <strong>10524 <\/strong>in Garrison are quickly followed by Warren County\u2019s <strong>12874 <\/strong>in Silver Bay. <strong>Cold Spring<\/strong> offers the possibility of peace and quiet while also being a little over an hour\u2019s ride from Manhattan. In fact, location and easy access to transit hubs remain an essential amenity that has driven up the housing cost in the area to a median sale price of about $500,000. <strong>Garrison<\/strong>, with its amazing view of the Hudson River onto West Point, is an option north of Westchester County with zoning regulations designed to protect its rural character. As for <strong>Silver Bay<\/strong>, a hamlet about 60 miles north of Albany, the location on the shores of Lake George makes this prime example of Adirondack architecture a contender in the Upstate market.<\/p>\n<p>With 10 ZIPs each, Dutchess and Orange weren\u2019t the only ties in our top. <strong>Erie County<\/strong> boasts 6, same as Putnam, with two zips in Buffalo: <strong>14222<\/strong> and <strong>14202<\/strong>. <strong>Buffalo <\/strong>remains a popular city, home to the Tesla Gigafactory 2 and General Motors among other notable companies. Warren County and Saratoga each have 5 zip codes. Besides 12874 in Silver Bay, two other zip codes in Warren County cracked the Top 10: <strong>12814 <\/strong>in Bolton Landing and <strong>12844 <\/strong>in Kattskill Bay. Both communities share views of Lake George. Notably, two zips in Saratoga County had the highest number of sales in Upstate NY. Buyers in Clifton Park\u2019s <strong>12065<\/strong>, voted the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/buffalo\/news\/2018\/04\/30\/albstandings.html\">most affluent town in the Albany metro area in 2018<\/a>, had 679 properties trade last year and the <strong>12866 <\/strong>in Saratoga Springs had 553 sales. Landing at the end of our list is <strong>12118 <\/strong>in <strong>Mechanicville<\/strong>, also in Saratoga. The small city enjoys a promising business district and had 183 sales and a median sale price of $276,000 in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the full list of most expensive zip codes in Upstate New York below:<\/p>\n<div class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"852f7de1-9448-4199-a381-947570fef907\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\" Top zip codes upstate NY 2018\"><\/div>\n<p><script>!function(e,t,s,i){var n=\"InfogramEmbeds\",o=e.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0],d=\/^http:\/.test(e.location)?\"http:\":\"https:\";if(\/^\\\/{2}\/.test(i)&&(i=d+i),window[n]&&window[n].initialized)window[n].process&&window[n].process();else if(!e.getElementById(s)){var r=e.createElement(\"script\");r.async=1,r.id=s,r.src=i,o.parentNode.insertBefore(r,o)}}(document,0,\"infogram-async\",\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed-loader-min.js\");<\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>Methodology:<\/strong> To determine which were the most expensive ZIP codes in Upstate NY, we looked at all residential transactions closed in 2018, taking into account condo, co-ops, single- and two-family homes.
