The 10 Best Monopoly Properties

Back before there were video games, or what I like to call the Dark Ages, kids had to play these things called board games. Board games were not as fun as video games but there were a few classics that were the exception, like Monopoly. Everybody loves Monopoly! And everybody hates Monopoly. The main goal in Monopoly was to gain all the properties you can and build houses and hotels on them. But which properties were the best? These are the 10 best properties in Monopoly.

10. Mediterranean Avenue
Mediterranean Avenue comes in at number 10 for one reason and one reason only. It's dirt-cheap.

9. Boardwalk
The great thing about Boardwalk is if you have hotels on it then you'll make more than any of the other Monopoly properties. The bad thing about Boardwalk is nobody ever landed on it. Boardwalk was never a factor in any games that I played.

8. Free Parking
Okay so technically Free Parking isn't a property but it was a good place to land. Unfortunately a lot of the time there was no or little money.

7. Chance & Community Chest
Another technicality since these aren't Monopoly properties but they often got you more cash than Free Parking, although you could lose some too.

6. North Carolina Avenue
If you want to spend some big bucks and build some houses and hotels then forget about Park Place and Boardwalk. You're much better off going with the green properties, especially North Carolina Avenue.

5. Electric Company
The utilities were always helpful properties to have. Why electric over water? I just like the little light bulb picture more than the water faucet.

4. B&O Railroad
There was actually a test done to see the probability of landing on each of the Monopoly properties. B&O Railroad was the railroad most often landed on.

3. Any Orange Properties
Out of all the different colored Monopoly properties the orange are the most common landed on. In the probability test that was done Tennessee Avenue was the 6^th most common place landed, New York Avenue was 7^th and St. James Place was 9^th.
