Once again, All Hallow’s Eve is upon us. It may be every child’s favorite holiday, but we love it for its unabashed commercial value (when major candy labels generate one-third of their sales) and as an excuse to dress in ridiculous costumery when you’re well past the acceptable trick-o-treating age.
Just remember finding the best candy is a lot like finding the best home on Trulia: you want to maximize your return (i.e. candy over time). So what’s the best way? Simple. Using Trulia Heat Maps, identify the most well-endowed neighborhoods in your area (i.e. by highest average home price) and follow the red brick road.
New York, NY: Known for one of the best Ghouls n’ Goblins celebration in the country, NYC is a prime trick-o-treating city: walkable and extremely wealthy. Just follow the red on the NYC Heat Map- from the yuppified Upper East Side for a taste of Godiva, to the West Village Brownstones with Magnolia Bakery cupcakes.
Denver, CO: You may know it for the slopes, but Denver is a secret treasure trove for those with a sweet tooth. High-end Cherry Creek or beautiful Highland are sure bets, but haunted Cheesman Park is where the real candy action happens.
US of A:Not seeing your hometown here? Don’t fret, we have 3,000+ Heat Maps to help you optimize your candy acquisition Halloween night. Just click your heels (or your mouse) to Trulia Heat Maps, enter your county or city, and head for the red!
And if you’re looking for something extra spiffy, check out this sprawling mansion to throw your next Halloween party. Sure, it’s not quite this LA haunted house, but it’s guaranteed to be memorable.
