I don't think this can be said for "most" US cities however.
One major exception would be generally anything on the east coast.

In my neck of the woods in FL (Brevard County), the priciest by far is east of the A1A, followed by west of the A1A on the (eastmost) barrier island, followed by the eastern intermediate island, then the western intermediate island, then the eastern part of the mainland, then the western part of the mainland, and as you continue to go west towards Orlando you hit land that's nearly value-less.

In California of course it would be the exact opposite, for obvious reasons.
