Americans want to live next to Sandra Bullock
December 29, 2010 - When considering which celebrity they would most like to share a fence with, most Americans would prefer moving next door to Sandra Bullock, according to a new survey.
Each year, the website Zillow takes a survey to determine which celebrities Americans would most like to call their neighbors. In 2010, Bullock, who won a Best Actress Oscar this year for her performance in "The Blind Side," received 26 percent of the vote. Bullock also endured a widely-publicized split from her husband, Jesse James, after it was revealed he had had a number of indiscretions. The story may have gained Bullock more sympathy from females, 30 percent of which said they would enjoy living in the same neighborhood as her.
On the other side of the coin was the cast of the MTV reality show Jersey Shore, who were named by 26 percent of respondents as the worst possible celebrity neighbors.
"It was voyeuristic fun getting to know the Jersey Shore crew as they partied and fist-pumped week after week on reality television - but do we want to live 'up close and personal' next door? Americans said no way," said Zillow vice president of marketing and communications Amy Bohutinsky.
Fewer buyers considered relocating to the Jersey Shore over the past few months. The New Jersey Association of Realtors reported that existing home sales in the state dropped in this year's third quarter.
