Looking at Street View's coverage of Melbourne, there are various gaps that seem to coincide with areas of high property values. One covers the upmarket parts of Caulfield where houses cost between $2 million and $4 million, extending south into East Brighton. Another example can be found in Toorak. That's a very upmarket suburb, but I'm told by someone that follows real estate much more closely than I do that the unphotographed St Georges Road area is especially blue chip. On the other hand, Monomeath Avenue, Canterbury - generally regarded as one of Melbourne's most prestigious streets - is covered by Street View. A house there sold for nearly $9 million a few months ago. Other holes in Street View coverage include a large chunk of Hawthorn East, another upmarket area. But other swanky as well as not so prestigious addresses are also affected, as you'll see on page 2. |
