It must be tough to keep up with the Jonases in Westlake. With an estimated median household income of $250,000, Forbes.com has named it the most affluent neighborhood in the country.
The Town of Westlake, Texas, might be best-known for being the home of the Jonas Brothers. But this Dallas suburb, where Buffalo roam the ranch land, is crawling with the rich and famous. Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton has a house there, as does his boss, Rangers owner Chuck Greenberg. Vernon Wells, the Toronto Blue Jays center fielder, is building a massive home in Westlake; New York Yankee Mark Teixeira already owns a house there that he’s been trying to sell.
Westlake boasts a Tom Fazio designed golf course and some famous golfers like K.J. Choi and Todd Hamilton live there, too. Former Exxon chief Lee Raymond is building a house in Westlake, which is already home to Matthew Rose, the CEO of Burlington Northern Santa Fe, who is seen as a potential successor of Warren Buffett.
No word on whether Kevin Jonas’ plans to sell his home in Vaquero will affect the rankings.

That’s a suburb of Ft. Worth.
Isn’t Ft. Worth a suburb of Dallas?
no! fort worth is a major u.s. city that has nothing to do with dallas, tx! there are almost 750,000 people in fort worth proper and well over 2,000,000 people in the greater fort worth metro area. westlake is in tarrant county and a suburb of fort worth, not a suburb of dallas, tx. everything west of the tarrant county/dallas county line is in the greater fort worth metro area. that includes mansfield, arlington, six flags over texas, the texas rangers ballpark in arlington, cowboys stadium, half of dfw airport, grapevine, the gaylord texan, great wolf lodge, and dfw links resorts, southlake, westlake, hurst, euless, bedford, and the texas motor speedway is in fort worth in denton county! super bowl xlv will be played in arlington, in tarrant caount, and therefore in the greater fort worth metro area!
