Are you looking to buy a for investment, or are you interested in developing a new street in a housing project? Urban Street Design Guide - NACTO

Buying a street is rare but possible, typically occurring when a city abandons a dead-end road or alley, or when private developers sell infrastructure within a gated community. Most streets are public property owned by local municipalities. Steps to Acquire a Street

: For public streets, you must request that the city "vacate" or abandon the street. This often requires a legal petition and public hearings.

: Check official zoning designations to see if the land can be repurposed or if it must remain a functional road.
