Avenue Princesse Grace – Monaco = $17,750 per square foot 2.) Severn Road – Hong Kong = $11,200 per square foot 3.) 5th Avenue – New York City, USA = $7,500 per square foot 4.) Kensington Palace Gardens – London, UK = $7,196 per square foot 5.) Avenue Montaigne - Paris, France = $5,046 per square foot Those prices are PER SQUARE FOOT! How does it get so expensive? Why does it cost so much for space in Monaco? I went there, and it wasn't that crowded...I don't get it.

I really didn't have a good perspective on it until I multiplied the square footage of my house by those numbers. OMG! Ridiculous! What a difference in price. But as they say...Location, location, location. -------------------- ~Kit California Local Expert Visit my travel blogs: http://www.travelpod.com/members/kitkatgo

Monaco is a weird country as it is a very small place where in general only rich people live. -------------------- Would be life traveler. Visit BackPackingShop
