The city of Annapolis found its way onto a Top 10 list recently, and it wasn’t for anything dealing with history or sailing.

Instead, as home to the U.S. Naval Academy, the city was deemed the tenth-most expensive college town in the United States. The designation came via Coldwell Banker’s 2011 College Home Listing Report.

“Annapolis (United States Naval Academy) ranks as the #10 most expensive college town in the nation, where an average three-bedroom, two-bathroom home costs $522,420,” the report states. “Comparably, the same size home in College Park (#26 most expensive, University of Maryland) averages at $257,107.”

Pricier abodes can be found in the hometowns of Boston College, University of Washington (Seattle) and the University of Hawaii (Honolulu). The most expensive college town in the U.S.? Westwood/Los Angeles, where the average three-bedroom home runs $1.27 million.
