According to Spencer Rascoff and Stan Humphries, co-authors of the book ”Zillow Talk: The New Rules of Real Estate,” in general, the most valuable street names describe something about a home’s location.
The co-authors also found that all of the ’most expensive’ streets are names instead of numbers.
The two only found three places among the 20 largest metro areas in the entire nation where named streets don’t have the advantage,” they write in their book. “In Atlanta and New York, named and numbered streets come out roughly equal. Denver is the solitary example of a place where numbered streets are more valuable — probably because homes in its premier neighborhood of Country Club are located on numbered streets.”
