These include the four railroads (Reading Railroad, Pennsylvania Railroad, B&O Railroad, and Short Line.) You find out more about Monopoly’s railroads here.
The other properties that can’t be built on in Monopoly are the two utilities. These are the Electric Company and the Water Works. You can find out more about utilities in Monopoly here.

The Best Properties in Monopoly
What are the best properties to buy in Monopoly? Well, that really depends, and there’s not a simple answer to that one, but luckily for you, I’ve written a whole article to help you decide which are the best Monopoly properties to buy!

To Conclude
As you may have surmised, there are several opposing strategies you can employ to maximize your income in Monopoly. You could take a more scattergun approach of snapping up and building on the cheapest property in Monopoly, which increases the chance of your opponents landing on your properties (because you have more of them).
Or, you could take a slightly riskier, but potentially more lucrative approach of sniping the more exclusive, high-value properties. This means there’s less chance of your opponents landing on your properties, but a greater reward if they do!
Alternatively, you could do what I try to do and buy some of each, including some of the more mid-priced properties.
There really is no one “right” answer to which Monopoly properties you should invest in and build on. Every strategy in Monopoly has its own risks and corresponding rewards.
I recommend playing in whatever way’s the most fun for you personally. So if you’re a risk-taker, maybe the dark blue properties should be in your sights!
However you play, you’ll need lady luck on your side, but do have fun, and try to avoid family arguments! It’s just a game, after all! Even if it is the best game in the world!
