The Millionaires' Mile, Millionaires' Row, Billionaires Row, Golden Mile or Alpha Street are the exclusive residential neighborhoods of various cities, often along one scenic strip such as a riverside or hilltop drive, or a wide city boulevard.
Millionaires' Miles are often found in neighborhoods by the name of the Gold Coast, from Gold Coast (region), in West Africa. There is the Gold Coast of Long Island, Boston's Gold Coast, and Chicago's Gold Coast to name a few.
Millionaires' Miles are characterized by the presence of great houses in varying architectural styles. Depending on the location, these may be stately homes, mansions, townhouses, esoteric modern creations or other imposing designs.
Some well-known Millionaires' Miles include the following:
As the most prominent highway through the heart of the Midwest, the National Road became a logical address for the mansions and manors of the big shots in every town along the way. Richmond, with the road dubbed Main Street, was no exception.
East High Street – a section of which is known as Millionaires' Row – leads past the mansions of manufacturing moguls of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Most controversial of these mansions is the home Frank Lloyd Wright designed and built for auto magnate Burton J. Westcott.
