The hottest places to live in 2019 are coastal cities within commuting distance of urban cores.

That's according to a recent report released by real estate company Redfin, which notes one other prevailing commonality: These neighborhoods, most of which have a median sales price above $1 million, are affluent.

To compile its annual Hottest Neighborhoods report, Redfin observes online traffic surges for neighborhood listings over the course of one year and combines those with agent insights. Last year's report, for comparison, proved less diverse geographically. Nine of 10 neighborhoods were in San Jose, and the remaining was in San Francisco.
