Homes for Sale in Most Expensive Gayborhoods
To celebrate Pride Week, we pulled together a list of our favorite homes in America’s most expensive gayborhoods.

Pride Week is just around the corner, and this year, it’s time to celebrate. (But not necessarily for the reasons you might think.)

This year, Trulia’s annual report on gayborhoods found that some areas have increased in price by an average of 23% in the last three years. Ka-ching!

House hunting? If you’re flush, you might want to snag one of these eight homes for sale in the country’s most expensive gayborhoods — before they’re gone (and prices rise even higher)!

This four-bedroom, four-bathroom home in sunny Palm Springs is perfect for entertaining, any time of year. Open all the windows and let the Southern California air sweep through this breezy home while you prep in the chef’s kitchen.

With its stunning 28-foot ceilings and a gourmet kitchen with a 10-burner countertop (seriously!), your friends will beg to spend summers at your new place — especially with gay-friendly Poodle Beach just 4 miles away.
