DC as well, although there are dozens of historical accidents in how its borders came to be.
Counter-examples are St. Louis and (I think) Minneapolis.
What about in other climates/non-western cities? Does north/south apply in Sydney? Beijing?
- tokenadult 13y agoMinneapolis Yes, Minneapolis is a correct counterexample. What matters most for house prices in the Twin Cities is nearness to lakes. North Minneapolis has few lakes, the highest crime rate in the city (with a murder rate far higher than, for example, New York City), and blighted public schools. Southwest Minneapolis (same municipal government and same public school district) is a desirable neighborhood near lakes with a lot of high-income residents and a high school that is a feeder school to the Ivy League.
