The Priciest Baseball Stadium Neighborhoods
It's opening day for the national pastime. And with baseball stands filling up across the country, Trulia decided to rank stadium neighborhoods by per square foot home values. Boston's Fenway came out on top, and the area's win was even more impressive for boasting values nearly five times the metro Beantown average.
Red Sox archrivals the Yankees could not extend its fabled World Series dominance to apartment prices in its Bronx environs. In fact, this is a rare ranking that puts the Mets (whose Citi Field neighbors have home values at No. 7 on the list) on top of the Bronx Bombers.
