Very interesting article!

Street names tell stories. They tell us if a neighborhood is expensive or affordable, brand-new or decades old. With street names alone, we can uncover all kinds of insights.

My street name is neutral, 1% more than the average home.

[tworent]

I am at 25% more

[BirdieBelle]

106% more

It is a name, though, and an unusual one, which somehow means more.

I thought it was interesting that numbers ranked lower than names, except in Denver, the only city where houses on streets named with numbers are "worth" more.

Didn't work for me. I kept putting in my street name and it would revert back to Main Street.

They don't have my street.

If you have a directional in your name (North, East, etc) just put in the street name without it and see if that works.

Does it bring up a drop-down menu with suggestions? I had to click my street name on that menu.
