Travis Kelce: Zillow survey shows most Americans want the NFL star as their neighbor
Travis Kelce is adding another feather to his cap. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end has been voted America's "Most Desirable Neighbor" among football players, according to a new survey by Zillow.
Kelce, who has been winning hearts, both on and off the field, topped the list with 12% of the total votes, said Zillow in a press release. Kelce's teammate Patrick Mahomes received 11% of the votes, making him the second most preferred neighbor among football players, while Baltimore Ravens receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was third on this list with 7% of the votes.
"A new survey from Zillow finds the football player Americans most want to be next-door neighbors with is Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end who is in a relationship with Taylor Swift," said Zillow in its press release.

Unsurprisingly, Kelce was the "overwhelming favorite" among women aged 18 to 34 with 26% of them picking him as their preferred next-door neighbor, compared to 8% of men in the same age range.
Other football players on the list include Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Christian McCaffrey, Baker Mayfield and Brock Purdy.
Snoop Dogg, Terry Bradshaw also preferred neighbors
Among Superbowl halftime performers, Snoop Dogg is the person who most want to live next to, said Zillow, adding that the rapper was particularly popular among elder millennials between 35 and 44. Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez tied at the second spot as the most popular neighbor among the halftime performers.
This year's halftime performer, Usher, was not a popular pick, receiving only 3% of the votes.
Meanwhile, Terry Bradshaw is most preferred neighbor in the football broadcaster category, securing 17% of the total votes, followed by Michael Strahan, who was selected by 13%. Tony Romo was the third person in the broadcaster category with 9% of the votes.
When it comes to rivals, 60% of the survey's participants said that they could be friends with a neighbor who actively supports a rival football team, while less that 50% said they would invite a neighbor "who roots against their team to their big-game watch party".
How many people participated in the survey?
2,085 adults aged 18 and older participated in the online survey conducted within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of Zillow between Jan. 18 and 22, according to the press release.
