How often do you land on New York Avenue?
That makes it the 3rd most-landed-on square of 39 on the board.
On a board where every square was equally likely, each would take 2.5% of turns. New York Avenue takes 2.85% — about 1.14× the flat rate. The board isn’t flat because Go To Jail, the two card decks, and the doubles rule all pump traffic around it unevenly.
Why this number
New York Avenue doesn’t only collect dice traffic — a card routes players here directly:
- Go Back 3 Spaces (Chance, reachable from 1 of the 3 Chance squares)
What it earns
New York Avenue is part of the orange group (St. James Place, Tennessee Avenue and New York Avenue), costs $200 to buy and $100 per house. Fully built with hotels, the group pays for itself in about 22 opponent turns — 1st fastest group of 8.
| Development | Rent | Group payback |
|---|---|---|
| No houses | $16 | 197 turns |
| 1 house | $80 | 121 turns |
| 2 houses | $220 | 58 turns |
| 3 houses | $600 | 27 turns |
| 4 houses | $800 | 24 turns |
| Hotel | $1,000 | 22 turns |
Rent is for this property alone; payback is for the whole orange group, since you can’t build houses without owning all of it.
