This Is The Most Coveted Address In SoCal, Survey Says
Not Rodeo Drive or Newport Coast. You may be surprised by the Southern California street that says you have "arrived."
BEVERLY HILLS, CA — The most coveted address in Southern California is in Beverly Hills, according to a recent ranking.
Real Estate CRM review website Agent Advice commissioned a survey of 3,000 respondents to determine the top aspirational streets in America, where a mailbox signifies a person has “arrived.”
In Southern California, the top-ranked street was Laurel Way in Beverly Hills. The address was No. 2 on the overall list, coming in between two Florida streets — Casey Key Road in Nokomis at No. 1 and Gordon Drive in Naples at No. 3.
