How often do you land on Pacific Avenue?
That makes it the 17th 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. Pacific Avenue takes 2.44% — only 0.98× 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
No Chance or Community Chest card sends anyone here. Every token that lands on Pacific Avenue got there on the dice alone, which is most of the reason it sits where it does — the squares above it in the ranking are nearly all collecting card traffic on top of their dice traffic.
What it earns
Pacific Avenue is part of the green group (Pacific Avenue, North Carolina Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue), costs $300 to buy and $200 per house. Fully built with hotels, the group pays for itself in about 35 opponent turns — 2nd slowest group of 8.
| Development | Rent | Group payback |
|---|---|---|
| No houses | $26 | 201 turns |
| 1 house | $130 | 130 turns |
| 2 houses | $390 | 60 turns |
| 3 houses | $900 | 34 turns |
| 4 houses | $1,100 | 34 turns |
| Hotel | $1,275 | 35 turns |
Rent is for this property alone; payback is for the whole green group, since you can’t build houses without owning all of it.
