12. Rhode Island

Seaward was built in 2008, and this exquisite home has a fantastic view of the ocean, seven bedrooms, and nine bathrooms. It can be yours for a mere $35 million! But an average home price in Providence, for example, is $430,197. In Providence, you can expect to pay nearly three times what you would in New Orleans to heat and cool your home. So, this small state comes with some pretty high costs!

11. Pennsylvania

Rock Hill Farm is the most expensive house in the state, but the views, the space, and the quietness are all worth the $38 million. On the other hand, over in New Hope, for $10 million, you’ll find part of the original William Penn land grant on an estate that will get any history buffs’ hearts racing. The 190-acre equestrian estate includes a 1713 grand manor house, a Victorian guest house, and a 1740 cottage. The luxurious property consists of a bank barn complete with a caretaker’s apartment, a spring house, a lighted tennis court, and greenhouses.
