We're not sure if it's an honor, but Long Island can now claim to be home to the most expensive zip code in the United States, at least when it comes to purchasing a home, according to a new list compiled by Business Insider.

Sagaponack (11962) in the Town of Southampton is tops on the list. The median home sale price in Sagaponack is $8.5 million.
