‘Monopoly’ board shows city’s highest and lowest house prices
DUNDEE isn’t a stranger to being immortalised in Monopoly – but a new board inspired by the family favourite is an eye - catc h i n g w ay of e x plor i n g t h e a r e a’s house prices.
The graphic was drawn up by data analysts who poured over the city’s house prices to find Dundee’s answer to Pentonville Road, Fleet Street and Mayfair.
