Two adjacent parking spots in an exclusive part of Boston sold for US$560,000 (S$700,000) after a bidding war erupted between two neighbours.
The Boston Globe reported how the spaces, behind Commonwealth Avenue, sold for almost double the average price for a family home in nearby Massachusetts.
The newspaper noted that the spaces come will fully-lined asphalt, stains included.
Highly priced parking spaces are not a new thing in the North American city. The record for a single parking space is US$300,000.
Auctioneer Tim Smith told the newspaper that these are “two prettiest parking spaces I’ve ever seen.
