The region’s $50 billion economy is creating opportunities for people of all skill and education levels.
The region offers a variety of lifestyles, from thriving downtowns in cities and boroughs to rural suburban communities.

Those factors are reflected in the demand for housing in America’s hottest ZIP codes, Realtor.com® Chief Economist Danielle Hale said in a news release.
“While we’ve seen big changes in the housing market, such as a growing number of homes for sale, this year’s hottest ZIP codes in America show common factors are driving interest in these highly competitive areas,” Hale said. “Although mortgage rate relief is starting to materialize, this year’s hottest ZIPs reflect the focus on affordability that home shoppers have had over the last few years in the face of high housing costs. Concentrated in larger metros across the Northeast and Midwest, these top 10 ZIPs attracted highly qualified home buyers seeking more space without relinquishing proximity to urban amenities.”
