How we rank

The median year built is the year by which half of the homes in a ZIP code had been built, from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. Newer homes usually mean newer roofs, windows, wiring and heating systems, more energy efficiency and fewer surprises at inspection. They also tend to mean newer subdivisions, sometimes with homeowners association fees and longer commutes.

Questions

Albany, NY (12222), where the median home was built in 2021, among ZIP codes with at least 5,000 residents.

Are newer homes cheaper to own?

Usually in the first years: fewer repairs and lower energy bills. But check for homeowners association fees and, in new subdivisions, special tax districts that can raise the yearly bill.
