40 U.S. Cities With The Highest Cost Of Living

11. Rolling Hills, California

Rolling Hills was developed by the same planner who created the nearby town of Hidden Hills, both parts of the Los Angeles Metro Area (via Hidden Hills). This equestrian town has no traffic lights, and the houses are all one-story ranch homes or haciendas. While you may believe the idea of living in such a tightly regulated small town is passe, people pay heavy dollars to live in Rolling Hills. The average value of those ranches and/or hacienda homes is over $3.4 million and residents pay just under $329,000 in annual living expenses (via Go Banking Rates).
