07620, the zip code that belongs to Alpine, New Jersey, is officially the most expensive zip code in the U.S.

The affluent enclave, a 20-minute drive from midtown Manhattan, has been called home by Chris Rock and Mary J. Blige, among other A-listers.

What will it cost you to move to this idyllic community, which may not have its own high school, but boasts three excellent country clubs?

The median home on the market today costs $4.55 million.

And the most expensive home currently for sale in 07620 costs a jaw dropping $53 million, according to Forbes, which has published a list of the 500 most expensive zip codes in the U.S. with the help of real estate research firm Altos Research.
