wealthy enclave
Gated community perhaps
A wealthy enclave is a residential area distinguished by high property values and affluent inhabitants, often physically or socially separated from surrounding communities.
Such enclaves may be gated neighborhoods, exclusive suburbs, or upscale urban districts where the rich cluster together.
The term sometimes carries connotations of insularity or exclusivity.
The tech boom transformed the quiet town into a wealthy enclave where teachers and firefighters could no longer afford to live.
