~Ever played Monopoly and wondered what the most commonly landed on streets are???

I was surprised to find out recently that the 3 properties in question are actually the main 3 that from playing as a child onwards to today have always been my favorite and most sought after in the initial stages of the game.

You can keep your Mayfair and Park Lane, the most commonly landed on properties are actually Bow St, Vine St and Marlborough St!
