What are the two most expensive properties on the Monopoly board? Boardwalk and Park Place. Boardwalk implies beachfront property. Park Place is probably next to a park, and parks are generally nice.
What are the two cheapest properties? Baltic and Mediterranean. Baltic and Mediterranean. Because immigrants live there.
The next cheapest? Oriental.
