Trick-or-treating is a delicate art. Not only must one score the most epic candy stash possible, but time is of the essence: Choose a neighborhood where houses are too far apart, and the other ghouls will snap up all the Kit Kats before you have time to make your rounds. (Yes, adult trick-or-treaters. This goes for you, too.)
Here are the best trick-or-treating neighborhoods in the U.S., courtesy of the real estate experts at Zillow. Not only are homes in these neighborhoods located close together (to expedite walking time), but they're also highly-priced (aka likely to give out BIG candy bars), have low crime rates (aka safe) and have large populations under age 15 (aka friendly to kids of all ages). Start drafting your map, 'cuz the country's best trick-or-treating neighborhoods are:
10. River Park in Sacramento, CA
9. Country Club in Denver, CO
8. Del Mar Heights in San Diego, CA
