These Are The U.S. Cities With The Highest Value Homes
A study by Badeloft USA examined high-value home density across cities using real estate data. After analyzing land area, average home price, and the number of properties exceeding that price, the study concluded that Miami leads in housing density, with the most above-average-priced homes per square mile.
Miami tops the list with 105 above-average-priced homes per square mile, the highest density of premium real estate. With just 36 square miles of land, its limited space drives this concentration, making it a prime destination for luxury living. The cityâs average home price stands at $584K.
New York City ranks second, with 38 luxury homes per square mile. While its density is lower than Miamiâs, it leads in total premium properties, boasting 11,000 across 300 square miles. With an average home price of $763K, NYC remains a global real estate hub.
Las Vegas follows in third place with 26 high-value homes per square mile. Spanning 142 square miles, it has 3,701 premium properties, nearly double the density of Chicago, signaling its rising influence in the luxury market.Philadelphia ranks fourth, with 23 premium homes per square mile. It hosts 3,214 above-average-priced properties across 134 square miles. Despite having the lowest average home price in the top cities at $218K, its density reflects strong real estate growth.
Washington, D.C., takes fifth place with 17 premium homes per square mile. With 1,225 high-value properties spread over 68 square miles and an average home price of $589K, it maintains a strong luxury market.
Boston lands sixth with 14 premium homes per square mile. Though it has just 698 above-average-priced properties, its compact 48-square-mile size boosts density. With an average home price of $745K, Boston remains a high-end market.
San Antonio ranks seventh, also with 14 luxury homes per square mile. Despite nearly 7,000 premium properties, its vast 500-square-mile area lowers overall density.
Detroit follows in eighth place with 13 luxury homes per square mile. It has 1,803 high-value properties, but its $74K average home priceâthe lowest on the listâunderscores its affordability despite growing premium real estate.
Chicago comes in ninth, with 12 premium homes per square mile. With 2,759 above-average-priced properties across 227 square miles, its density is comparable to Honolulu, offering ample opportunities for buyers and investors.
Honolulu rounds out the top ten, also with 12 high-value homes per square mile. Despite its ranking, it boasts the most expensive average home price at $773K, with just 826 above-average-priced homes, distinguishing it from other cities.
A spokesperson from Badeloft USA commented: âHigh-value home density sheds light on how urban geography, land distribution, and market pressures shape housing trends. Cities with smaller land areas often experience concentrated demand for premium properties, while larger regions show more varied growth patterns.”
They continued: “These findings highlight the intricate balance between affordability, housing accessibility, and economic forces driving real estate markets. Buyers and investors should carefully consider these factors when evaluating opportunities in different markets.â

Former Head Of Israeli Military Intelligence Welcomes ‘Chaos’ In Syria
Former Head Of Israeli Military Intelligence Welcomes ‘Chaos’ In Syria
The former head of the Israeli Military Intelligence Directorate has voiced his support for the “power struggle” in Syria, adding that the “chaos” benefits Israel. “The chaos in Syria is beneficial. Let them fight each other. But Israel should remain silent on this matter and not make any public statements. It should act calmly,” Tamir Hayman said in an interview with the Israeli Army Radio.
Hayman, who now serves as the director of the Institute for National Security Studies, welcomed the conflict between the different factions in Syria, but added that Israel must stay quiet. “We wish victory to all forces, but we must do one thing, do this silently, and not talk about it.”
He said while in the short term there appears to be power struggle in Syria, the new government is trying to extend its control. Â
“Everyone is fighting each other. An agreement with the Kurds on the first day, a massacre against the Alawites on the second day, and a threat to the Druze on the third day… All this chaos in addition to an Israeli attack on the south… All this chaos is somewhat good for Israel,” he explained.Â
The former military commander was referencing the violence that began on last Thursday when gunmen allegedly loyal to Assad launched attacks on security forces in the coastal region, home to members of the Alawi community, to which Assad and most of his loyalists belong.Â
Clashes spiraled into revenge attacks on civilians, leaving hundreds dead and thousands displaced. The killings have stoked an atmosphere of sectarianism and intimidation, and posed a massive challenge for the credibility of Syria’s nascent government.
Civilians belonging to the Alawi community were particularly targeted. Tensions in the area had been high ever since Assad’s ouster, with Alawis saying they have been victims of occasional reprisal attacks.
While the new Syrian administration’s defense ministry said it had completed its operations against “regime remnants”, residents of the coastal cities say violence has not ended, despite being reduced.
Further destabilization and attacks
Meanwhile, Israel carried out an air strike on the Syrian capital Damascus on Thursday, as its defence minister threatened Syria’s interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa, adding to the chaos in Syria.Â
Israel’s military said it was targeting what it described as a command center belonging to Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which it said was used to direct “terrorist activities” against Israel.
Middle East Eye could not independently verify the claim. The strike took place in a residential area at the edge of Damascus, Syrian state media reported. The target of the strike was a Palestinian person, two Syrian security sources told Reuters. It was not immediately clear if anyone was wounded in the attack.
Elsewhere on Thursday, Israeli forces advanced into the countryside in Syria’s al-Quneitra region with tanks and military vehicles, detonating former military sites, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.Â
Last month, Israel carried out a series of air strikes on what it said were military bases in Syria, following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech demanding a “complete demilitarisation” of Syria’s south. At least two were killed in the attacks.Â
During the speech, Netanyahu made specific reference to Syria’s Druze community, who live predominantly in the Sweida region. “We will not tolerate any threat to the Druze community in southern Syria,” he said.
Al-Qaeda affiliated terrorists in Syria led by Jolani are going from door to door and massacring Alawite families in the most cruel, sadistic ways.

On Thursday, Israel’s foreign ministry confirmed it had sent humanitarian aid to Druze communities in Syria over the past few weeks. Analysts have suggested that Israel’s overtures to the Druze community are part of attempts to divide Syria.Â
Israel has carried out heavy air strikes against Syrian military infrastructure since December, leaving the new administration – already battered from 14 years of civil war – with little capacity to respond militarily.
