Large gated properties sell for over £1 million on Birmingham's poshest streets, where the richest residents like to get away from the noise and hustle and bustle of the rest of the city.
The leafy streets of Edgbaston, Harborne and Moseley are where homes cost the most.
This won't come as a surprise to most Brummies, with these areas regarded as some of the most affluent in the city.
Taking the title of the 'poshest' street in Birmingham is Westfield Road in Edgbaston.
Typical homes there sell for an eye-watering £1.67 million.
Wellington Road and Sir Harrys Road, also in Edgbaston, aren't far behind on the list.

Experts analysed sales data over the last four years to deliver average street-by-street property prices.
Sales are fairly rare in these areas, only a handful since 2020.
That's perhaps not surprising as only a select few individuals will be able to afford houses round here, while residents may be content and unlikely to leave very often.
Land Registry data was analysed by sales company Property Solvers.
They said: "On Westfield Road (B15), three properties sold for an average of £1,673,333.
"Wellington Road (B15), three properties sold for an average of £1,643,333.
"Also, Sir Harrys Road (B15) saw three properties sell for an average of £1,602,000."

Revisiting the Hunt: First-Time Buyers Share What Went Wrong and Right
Over the years, we've introduced readers to hundreds of home buyers in The Hunt. Many were first-time buyers trying to navigate the New York City housing market. This year, we caught up with a few of our New York hunters to find out how their stories unfolded. From fighting the elements, to loving the laundry room, to dealing with co-op boards. Here are some of those stories. Supported by The Hunt Sabrina Banta From a Starter Co-op to a Condo With 'New Energy' Both of Sabrina Banta's parents were real estate agents in her native Hawaii, so she felt confident in 2014 when she bought her first place, an HDFC studio co-op in a 20-unit building in Chelsea, with her parents' help. She was just 21, and the $294,000 purchase 'set forth a path of investing in real estate and getting me to the place I am now,' Ms. Banta said. Buying a co-op at such a young age was tough. She had to submit paperwork to the board — including references from employers. 'I was just getting my first job, and here I was asking people to write letters,' she said. Her first task was gaining board approval to remove the sleeping loft. Eight years later, selling the co-op was tough, too. It took 15 months, and the board rejected her first applicant. She lowered the price from $399,000, and it finally sold for $360,000. Qualified buyers had a lot of restrictions, as is common in HDFC co-ops: an income ceiling of $54,000 annually and a 50 percent down payment, among other things. Meanwhile, the low cost of her housing helped make a reality of her dream — owning a boutique hotel. Six years ago, Ms. Banta and her then-boyfriend spent $195,000 to buy a remote hunting cabin in the Catskills. They renovated, redecorated and transformed it into an Airbnb that promoted unique experiences, like walking a local alpaca. They sold it two and a half years later for $500,000. 'It was a labor of love and a proof of concept,' Ms. Banta said. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
