Hello, instead of using await simpleStorage.deployed() use await simpleStorage.waitForDeployment instead.

Also, you may want to use await simpleStorage.getAddress() instead of simpleStorage.address() if you are running hardhat 2.19.5 version

Thankyou ! , this discussion helped me. Also I used 'await' before getting the address value i.e., ${await simpleStorage.getAddress()} and it worked for me.

async function main() {

    const simpleStorageFactory = await ethers.getContractFactory("SimpleStorage")
    
    console.log("deploying....")
    
    const simpleStorage = await simpleStorageFactory.deploy()
    
    await simpleStorage.waitForDeployment
    
    console.log(`deployed contract to: ${await simpleStorage.getAddress()}`)
}
