Eh, I don't know you to know if this is actually correct or if you're looking for faux sympathy, but if you truly do make that much AFTER taxes and can't get a mortgage for a $450K home, while being at a W2 job for the past decade, then something is mad off. I don't make that much, and I have a great credit score and work for myself here on TH-cam (W9) and got a loan for $400K in one of the most expensive states in the country, New Jersey, where our property taxes may be the highest in the country. Before that, I lived in expensive Maryland (Baltimore County) and got a similar loan amount. When you say "new home," do you mean a new build or a home that's new to you? Why not just get an already established home, if it's the former? Personally speaking, I'm going to have to call BS on your comment, man.
I just wish the new media would also show our many successful communities more often. Instead they show the 20% that hasn’t taken advantage of the opportunities we’ve fought to obtain!! And the 80% of Blacks like myself, rarely deal with folks stealing and killing like some of these young folks they love to show on the news!
I was born there....There are 0 Black families left on the block where my Grandmother used to live....at 13th St on Florida Ave....It's really sad...The landmarks are still there but not the people.....
Prince Georges County, MD is home to affluent areas like Bowie, Fort Washington, Woodmore etc. and has been for Blacks for decades now. I believe Charles County, MD now has that distinction. I have lived in PG. County for many years. Lets be clear, it is a mix of communities of all income levels. Because of its proximity to Washington DC, where many people have worked for the Federal Government for decades, they make a great living. There are great colleges in the area, creating a highly educated population. There are homes worth upwards of a couple of million in some places. I find it a nice place to live and seeing some many Black homeowners, entrepreneurs and high ranking government employees raised my expectation of what I could achieve in life.
Not enough good restaurants or malls, everyone goes to VA or Montgomery County for shopping and to a large extent entertainment. When that changes, then it will be well rounded.
@@shayscott7498This statement is outdated. I haven’t shopped in Montgomery County or Virginia in decades. Frankly, neither do the people in my neighborhood. I live in Maryland, in one of its most affluent areas, though I won’t specify which part. I shop in my neighborhood, and like most people in 2024, I order online for anything I can’t find locally. We also have plenty of restaurants, however, it's healthier and economically feasible to cook at home. I love my community, which provides a safe and healthy environment for my family. No complaints at all. It’s an honor to be recognized on this list. Too often, when African American communities are highlighted, the focus is negative. Let’s take a moment to enjoy this positive and supportive video. Well done! Instead of focusing on where we can spend our money, let’s turn our attention to saving it.
@@UnveiledBeliever Says all the PG people at Bethesda Jazz and Blues events and living their best social live on Rockville Pike. It may be so for you but statistically speaking you are WAY off base. Go ask your Chambers of Commerce.

Greater Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Population 18,000 (75% black). Home of the next African American female U.S. Senator, Angela Alsobrooks. Also, the nationally recognized Henry A. Wise, Jr. High School, with affluent sub-divisions such as Marlboro Ridge (Equestrian Center), Beechtree (Private Golf Course), Oak Creek (Private Golf Course) and Balmoral.
I remember reading about Baldwin Hills aka The Golden Ghetto back in junior high. My grandparents gave us their used Ebony and Jet magazines. Later, my grandad paid for my mom’s Essence subscription. The memories and information in our vintage magazines are a gem!!!
I grew up in Ft.Washington in the early 80’ 8:11 s moving from the Baltimore area. It was beyond fun back then. The DMV in my opinion is the best place to live in America.
We pay some absurd property taxes here in Bowie and then get hit with county taxes too on top. Yes you do actually pay to play here...But alas I love living here in the mid-Atlantic.
Folks moved jere during the DUMP ADMINISTRATION! They’re leaving! They CANNOT AFFORD to live here! Congress members had trouble finding adequate housing, until they were paid their salaries for being Elected😂
Know they just want to be around us BLACK AMERICANS most places we live there is joy and happiness until others think they can improve on what we already have 😭😭
I’am a Maryland native and I attend church in Prince George’s County. I’am very familiar with all the areas on the list of Maryland and Washington, D.C.
Not any more.. I just returned to Cambria Heights after being away for more than 20 years. My commute into the city is now 55 minutes - thank goodness.
No need to commute to the city because many of us no longer or never worked in the city and others work remotely. If you have to go into the city, it isn't on a daily basis.
Olympia Fields resident here: this is somewhat an illusion. The massive home shown was r.kelly’s infamous house, which he sold to the isleys after his conviction and the home is the largest in the area by a mile - we are a very small community with modest homes.
@@MakeWay4CJunderstood. I just feel like the copy or script she was reading did not match the truth, or what they were portraying in the footage so I didn’t want people to misunderstand or consider relocating without clarifying
My cousin used to live in Olympia Fields not too far from R. Kelly’s house. His home was very large. But for some reason he sold his home he said he was getting sick and tired of the neighborhood. He also said Kelly was always seen with girls that looked underage. Wich is creepy
Baldwin Hills is fairly new and goes back to during and after WWII. The NAACP had an office there,I think many years ago and Nat King Cole went to them for assistance when he and his family had concerns in finding a new home near Hollywood.
Oh my goodness, I use to live in Uniondale , 692 Nostrand Ave, we sold our house for $78,000 back in the 80's back then it was a mixed community, now I see the neighborhood has grown , truly miss being there. Thanks for this informative video.
The DMV had a large affluent Black population because of its proximity to Washing DC and its civil service jobs. Black college graduates have since WWII leaned toward civil service where they were paid more and treated better than if they worked in private sector jobs. Detroit use to be home to the most affluent Blacks because of the auto industry. Brooklyn Bedford Stuyvesant's, Stuyvesant Heights enclave has consistently remained an area with high earning Black professionals since the 18th century but when urban renewal began and housing projects were built around the brownstones which skewed the average income downward. I will proudly say that these neighborhoods are solidly Black American. I say that because many Black immigrants get an unbalanced perspective of our communities. When they arrive in the US they generally live in the poorest areas with the least educated Black people.
Don’t sit there and lie to those people, live in the DMV now and the cost of living and major traffic is a huge trade off for living here. Honestly not worth it which is why I’m trying to move

1st off Baltimore is not apart of the DMV just northern Va southern Maryland and DC…. Thank you that’s like saying Richmond is apart of the DMV it’s not
@@GoldStarDaMachine I ain’t about that “30 year old beef”. The DMV, geographically, just does not include Baltimore, Eastern Shore, and Western Maryland. Same as it does not include parts of Virginia outside of Northern Virginia.
In Illinois, you guys forgot Richton Park, Kenwood, Hyde Park, Jackson Park Highlands, Pill Hill, east Beverly and west Morgan Park, and suburbs like Homewood, Flossmoor, Matteson, Evanston, Oak Park.
There are alot more rich Black communities in Maryland than you think. Bethesda, Oxen Hill, Silver Spring, Annapolis and some parts of Prince Georges, believe it or not even a Baltimore but of course you will never know with the media reporting violence
Someone asked me if I had to leave NYC and move to another state which would it be? Coming from California and Los Angeles I would say Maryland. It gives that suburban yet city feel as an entire state. I am familiar with the Los Angeles and Maryland communities, but not that Illinois one. Looks nice.
Ik this is probably not the most wealthy black community, but Del Amo Carson has a lot of middle class black families. If your looking for affordability and want to live amongst your own people it’s a good idea.
Yes, I most definitely agree with the list being outdated because all of the places she named in PG County Maryland has been flooded with section 8 and voucher holders of other subsidies from people that’s from DC even Bowie for over the last 8 years and DC has been pushing all of their voucher holders and subsidy holders out to those areas in PG County because of the gentrification in DC
Y’all rent too cheap, y’all don’t vote, don’t fight for higher minimum wages, NAW! Sit this one out! I lived in texas! I was highly disappointed in the LACK of awareness! Just PARTY! Thats it!
Those same homes you displayed on here in California would LITERALLY cost 350 to 500 thousand dollars here in Texas AT MOST. Those homes are in NOOOO WAY nice looking for that kind of money.
Waldorf has turned ghetto since all these black people have moved here. I can say this bc I've been here for 26 years, and now I'm moving away. No resources or quality schools.
You missed out on Steele Creek, North Carolina. Total population 20k with the majority being African Americans (37%) and a household income of $103k. Average home price $350k. 15% of the population have a Master degree which above the national average. This is one of the high end locations in the country, in my opinion.
Hi, I grew up in Laurelton Queens it's close to Cambria Heights in NYC Queens it is known to be a black-owned town and majorly black homeowners and not renters. It is also known to be one of the places to experience the great white flight
My paternal side hails from Ladera Heights and Westchester area of LA. Baldwin Hills, Ladera and Windsor Hills belong to the City of LA Many Black folks are trying to hold on. Windsor hills has been gentrified so much. I couldn’t believe I saw an Indian, Korean walking in the neighborhood. My granny sold her house in Windsor Hills a few years ago for $1M. She still has her house in Ladera. Then my people moved to Stone Mountain and didn’t stay too long 😂😂 Came back to CA
17:39 A few years back my cousin lived there not too far from R. Kelly house. He knew people that were associated with R. Kelly and he said he seen him a few times but he was uncomfortable because the females he was with appeared to be under age. At the gym at barbecues exc. he stopped associating with them weirdos.
Im from NYC..I cant believe Stone Mountain in GA is now ghetto..Wow..I always hear Stone Mountain is for the rich black people..I remember people like Hallie Berry used to lived there in the 90s..
You should double check your statistics regarding the order in which you list the affluent Black communities in the Los Angeles area of Southern California. Although the TV show "Baldwin Hills" may have brought Baldwin Hills in particular into prominence, you list it as THE MOST PROMINENT/AFFLUENT, as far as income and housing costs are concerned. I think you will find IT IS NOT -- Not when compared to the neighboring areas you also listed -- I suggest you re-check your stats in this regard...
I was born and raised in Cambria Heights. The neighborhood has fallen off drastically. I wouldn't recommend living over there. The majority of the elders who helped keep the community together either retired down south or passed away.

Thank you. 🏡🫶🏾
What about Sag Harbor NY
She's including communities where the population is predominately black. Sag Harbor's black population is no where near the majority there.
Sag Harbor is black???
Those same homes you displayed on here in California would LITERALLY cost 350 to 500 thousand dollars here in Texas AT MOST. Those homes are in NOOOO WAY nice looking for that kind of money.
Riverside Terrace Houston, TX
Baldwin Hills, Leimert Park, Is my home, I was saying this way before TH-cam was a thing, And Md. as well 😁👏🏾🇮🇹🇺🇸
As a kid in the 90s, I had ballet 🩰 class on 43rd and Degnan , a bi[ further down fro Barbara Morrison's dance school.
@@danielleporter1829 oh cool, I know where that is 😁👍
Which of them has a Private equity professional who help with startup funding?
Nice synopsis. Although Randallstown is not the DMV.
NO HOUSES COST $344.000 IN CAMBRIA HEIGHTS NOR IN ROCKLAND COUNTY. TRUST ME.
It's way more
Waldorf MD should be on this llist
Waldorf hood as shit.
Waldorf has turned ghetto since all these black people have moved here. I can say this bc I've been here for 26 years, and now I'm moving away. No resources or quality schools.
need more street lights.
This restores hope for me
I think you have Maryland wrong. Bowie md should be first and then Upper Marlborough
She knows nothing. No way Fort Washington is richer than either city.
You missed out on Steele Creek, North Carolina. Total population 20k with the majority being African Americans (37%) and a household income of $103k. Average home price $350k. 15% of the population have a Master degree which above the national average. This is one of the high end locations in the country, in my opinion.
VERY INFORMATIVE ISSUE
LET'S GO!!! 💪🏿😤
This is the best route to take
Forget permission or approval from folks who most likely would rather see you fail anyway.
IMO
I hope the house in Ladera look better on the inside that what I’m seeing on the outside.
Hi, I grew up in Laurelton Queens it's close to Cambria Heights in NYC Queens it is known to be a black-owned town and majorly black homeowners and not renters. It is also known to be one of the places to experience the great white flight
Funny enough most New Yorkers don’t even know Hillcrest exist. Shout out to cambria heights tho
My paternal side hails from Ladera Heights and Westchester area of LA.
Baldwin Hills, Ladera and Windsor Hills belong to the City of LA
Many Black folks are trying to hold on. Windsor hills has been gentrified so much. I couldn’t believe I saw an Indian, Korean walking in the neighborhood. My granny sold her house in Windsor Hills a few years ago for $1M. She still has her house in Ladera. Then my people moved to Stone Mountain and didn’t stay too long 😂😂 Came back to CA
17:39 A few years back my cousin lived there not too far from R. Kelly house. He knew people that were associated with R. Kelly and he said he seen him a few times but he was uncomfortable because the females he was with appeared to be under age. At the gym at barbecues exc. he stopped associating with them weirdos.
Im from NYC..I cant believe Stone Mountain in GA is now ghetto..Wow..I always hear Stone Mountain is for the rich black people..I remember people like Hallie Berry used to lived there in the 90s..
Bowie is so dope
Can we talk about Rich Blacks without Rappers and Sportsmen?
EXACTLY....
You should double check your statistics regarding the order in which you list the affluent Black communities in the Los Angeles area of Southern California. Although the TV show "Baldwin Hills" may have brought Baldwin Hills in particular into prominence, you list it as THE MOST PROMINENT/AFFLUENT, as far as income and housing costs are concerned. I think you will find IT IS NOT -- Not when compared to the neighboring areas you also listed -- I suggest you re-check your stats in this regard...
I was thinking Ladera Heights is the most affluent, imo.
OH MY 😱MY DREAM HOUSE 🏡 IS IN OLYMPIA FIELDS SOUTH SUBURB OF CHICAGO…..ITZ BEAUTIFUL THERE THIS TIME OF YEAR❤❤❤❤
Olympia Fields, IL very well known for me.
Addisleigh Park in St Albans Queens, NY, Jamaica Estates, Queens, NY and Laurelton, Queens, NY.
Use to chill in Baldwin Hills at on an old Hollywood actress’s house 🏡. It’s close to Crenshaw that’s a hard 🚫no for me . The houses are nice.
I was born and raised in Cambria Heights. The neighborhood has fallen off drastically. I wouldn't recommend living over there. The majority of the elders who helped keep the community together either retired down south or passed away.
