As of 2011 Nantucket was the most expensive county in the entire US for average home value.

Nantucket Island is a playground for the well-to-do, a status that's confirmed by its housing values.
The typical house in Nantucket County, Mass., is worth more than $1 million, according to the latest figures from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey. The median value of homes on the island is officially listed as $1,000,001, which is as high as the ACS goes. The actual figure is probably higher.
Nantucket is the only U.S. county with a median house value expressed in seven digits. The runners-up are Marin County, Calif. (a San Francisco suburb), at $880,000, and New York County, N.Y. (better known as Manhattan), at $800,400.

Basically, you live like a complete pauper surrounded by the ultra-wealthy on vacation during summer, and by frozen seagulls and perhaps the odd migrating penguin in winter.
And since it's an actual island, with no bridge to the mainland, even ordinary groceries are stupid expensive. Good luck my friend!
