WILTON, CT — The most coveted address in Connecticut is in Wilton, according to a recent ranking.

Real Estate CRM review website Agent Advice commissioned a survey of 3,000 respondents to determine the top aspirational streets in America, where a mailbox signifies a person has “arrived.”

In Connecticut, the top-ranked street was Nod Hill Road in Wilton at No. 10 on the overall list.

“Rounding out the top 10, Nod Hill Road in Wilton is lined with beautiful, custom-built homes on large, wooded lots. The town’s excellent public schools, community amenities, and rural charm make it a highly desirable location for luxury living,” a news release about the ranking said.

The Wilton address ranked just below Upper Hollow Road in Dorset, Vermont, at No. 9 and Skyline Boulevard in Oakland, Northern California, at No. 8.

The top three spots in the ranking went to Casey Key Road in Nokomis, Florida, at No. 1, Laurel Way in Beverly Hills at No. 2, and Gordon Drive in Naples, Florida, at No. 3.

“While many of the streets featured are home to some of the most luxurious properties in the country, we have to recognize that real estate agents put in a lot of time and effort marketing these roads as lifestyle destinations,” an Agent Advice spokesperson said in the news release. “Behind the scenes, they’re busy helping buyers discover their dream homes by showcasing these sought-after streets.”
