“Elm Streets riddle the United States. Some are picturesque treelined streets carrying big price tags. Others house the salt of the earth, affordable places for new families,” said Zillow Director of Economic Research and Outreach Skylar Olsen. “Some people may enjoy sharing a name with one of the most famous streets in Hollywood, if they’re brave\u2026but they could be the site of a nightmare waiting to happen this Halloween!”<\/p>\n

Residents of Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, and Herscher, Illinois, have the highest chance of encountering Freddy Krueger this Halloween. Just over 10 percent of homes in these cities are on Elm Streets, giving them the highest concentration in the country.<\/p>\n

Staten Island and San Antonio residents have fewer opportunities to dream their nightmares on Elm Street, with less than one of every 10,000 homes in the city located along the haunted street.<\/p>\n
