North Carolina is home to several stunning, fast-growing cities booming with industry and commerce. Big cities like Wilmington, Raleigh, and Winston-Salem are home to some of North Carolina’s wealthiest areas. But it’s the Queen City that takes the crown for the priciest zip code in the state.

This neighborhood, spanning Myers Park and Eastover, lists the most expensive homes in the state in one condensed area. The analysis, released by realtor.com, made the determination based off of 2018 median listing prices.

In order to eliminate areas skewed by single outliers, realtor.com only included zip codes with more than 30 listings per month. They found that the 28207 median listing price was $1.3 million.
