We all know the price of real estate in New Jersey sits at ridiculous levels these days, but consider this: we had absolutely no problem finding at least two dozen towns in this state where the average home is worth at least $1 million.

Yes, there are a lot more.

And if you're asking yourself "How can anyone afford to live here," don't worry -- I am, too.

To determine which towns have the highest home values, we turned to the Zillow Home Values Index, which measures "monthly changes in property level Zestimates ... across a wide variety of geographies and housing types."

The average New Jersey home value is $492,394, up 5.2% over the past year...

Points to note

First, it's a given that most shore towns have expensive homes, but you'll find there are quite a few places away from the coast that feature pricey abodes.

Second, not every house in these towns is worth $1 million (but most are). This is a rolling average and a good indicator of which spots on a map are a tad luxurious.
