Avenue or Boulevard? Which Pays More?

A recent Housingwire story caught  my eye as it discussed differences in house prices based on the name of the street the house resides at.  Trulia did some analysis on 10,000 homes across America to determine what road suffixes were the most desirable versus the least.  Here is the list:


I find this chart funny because in Weber County the Boulevards are definitely NOT the places you want to live.  Washington Blvd. and Harrison Blvd. are some of the cheapest housing you can find due to their 5 to 7 lanes of high speed traffic. 

It is interesting to see how other cities have chosen to name their streets and how that has correlated to their value.
