14 The Richest Town in America
Where’s the richest town in America? WORTH magazine 1)unveiled its 6th annual list out of the 250 richest towns and the most valuable homes, and the winner is Jupiter Island, Florida, 30 miles north of West Palm Beach on the Atlantic coast.

But at a 3)median home price at $3.9 million and the lower end homes running in the 4 to 5 million range, down near the National Wildlife Refuge, the people who live on Jupiter come for privacy.

In some towns, you can’t make noise between certain hours here - you can’t make noise between October and April. The hand painted ceilings, the horizonless pool, the master suite1, the 10,000 square feet, the 14-million-dollar price 4)tag on this home is no where near the top end. There are homes in Jupiter in the 30 and 40-million-dollar bracket.
The runners up to Jupiter are No.2 - Atherton, California; No.3 - Aspen, Colorado; 4th - Los Altos Hills, California; and 5th - Belvedere, California.

14 美国最富的城镇
美国最富的城镇是哪儿？《价值》杂志的第六届排名公布了250个最富的城镇及家庭，其中名列首位的是佛罗里达州的位于大西洋岸边、西棕榈海滩以北30英里的朱庇特岛。
佛州朱庇特岛犹如大西洋上一道天然屏障，长约10英里，宽1/4至半英里。一个中等住家的价格是390万美元，最便宜的住宅也要4、5百万美元。在国家野生动物园的近旁，人们住朱庇特岛是为了隐私而来的。从路旁几乎见不到住户。这儿也没有商业气息。他们是为了安静而来--真正的安静。在有些城镇，你在特定时段里是不能发出噪音的--从十月到四月你不能发出任何噪音。这套房子有手绘天花板、大泳池、豪华套房，大小1万平方英尺，房价是1400万美元，不过此价并非最贵的，朱庇特岛上有的房屋可卖到3、4千万美元呢。
富裕程度次于朱庇特岛的是：第二名加州的阿瑟顿，第三名科罗拉多州的阿斯班，第四名加州的洛阿图斯，第五名加州的贝维德尔。
