Lloyd Baker Street, located in Islington, has been dubbed 'millionaires' row' alongside several other sought-after streets in London.
Additional officers remain in the area to provide visible reassurance, the Met said.
Homes on the road have sold for £2.25million in the past year, with properties regularly disappearing from the market within days of listing.
Floral tributes have been laid at the scene following the death, with flowers, cards and balloons dedicated to the victim from family and friends.
Ch Supt Int Jason Stewart urged any potential witnesses to contact them, saying: "This is a tragic incident, and our thoughts remain with the family and friends of the young man who has lost his life.
"The victim was found in a residential street, and members of the public may have information of vital importance to our investigation.
"If you can help, please come forward."
