Monopoly could be right up your street
It’s arguably the most famous game board in history – but look a little closer and you’ll notice some subtle changes.
The iconic London Monopoly board has been given a Midlands makeover, as the Mayfairs and Old Kent Roads of our region are revealed.
Property firm Thomas Sanderson has revealed the cheapest and most expensive places to live in the West Midlands.
And it has created a website where anyone can create their own board showing their home town or city.
Swanky Ackleton, near Pattingham, takes the title as the Mayfair of Wolverhampton.
Although outside of the city limits, the area has a Wolverhampton postcode, and a home there will cost £995,000.
The Burrow, Compton, and Pennwood Lane, Penn, are the other blue squares on the Wolverhampton monopoly board at £990,000 and £785,000.
At the other end of the scale is Ellerton Walk in Park Village, which is the cheapest street in the city where the average home costs £38,475, according to the data.
Next was Vicarage Road, Wednesfield, followed by Lower Vauxhall, Park Dale.
The localised Monopoly boards were created after experts examined property sales across the region – revealing the cheapest and most expensive areas.
The Mayfair of Dudley borough was revealed to be Baldwin Way in Swindon where the average house price is £420,000, followed by Edge Hill Drive, Sedgley, and Bridgnorth Road, Himley.
The cheapest street in the borough is Crossgate Road at £46,000.
The most expensive street in Walsall – and the Black Country as a whole – is Mill Green Grove in Aldridge at £1.2 million.
A pad on Ellsmore Meadow in Aldridge isn’t cheap either at £1.008m. Another Aldridge property takes the final blue square.
Homes in Chester Wood cost an average of £875,000.
The figures are in complete contrast to Druids Walk in Walsall Wood where a property costs as little as £42,000.
