And which street is the Mayfair of our city?
We would love to see Monopoly re-imagined to fit Bendigo.
Share your suggestions for addresses that deserve to border the iconic board game here:
Real estate team Buxton has created a Ballarat version of the board.
Wendouree Parade and Webster Street have been deemed the Mayfair and Park Lane of Ballarat.
There was a jostle for other popular addresses across the city to stake their spot somewhere between the royal blue and the cheapest grabs in Marigold Street, Wendouree and Albert Street, Sebastopol.
Buxton Ballarat director Mark Nunn said it was tough to get the balance right.
“We wanted to represent as many suburbs in Ballarat as possible and there are only 22 property spot in the game. We still had to get all the iconic streets in,” Mr Nunn said.
Wendouree and Ballarat train stations are up for grabs on the Ballarat version of the board.
To complete the transport set, players can also buy into the Delacombe bus depot or Lydiard Street taxi rank.
