Wonderful using of these lots, wouanagaine!

[keithsed]

All I can say to all of you is

"Things are look'n good in the NEIGH . . . BOR . . . HOOD!"

I can see that I've got several years of work laid out for me before I get to cities of your size.

currently building up my largest city ever. the entire area from farms to downtown to farms will be equal in size to 3RR, i decided to start in the burbs(a 20km stretch), so far the populations around 485,000(old photo above) and 90% of them are low wealth. my second pic is part of one of my R$$ concept communities.



well thats the first taste, back to work..

fantastic suburbs, mightygoose!

[Giligone]

Wow, those are impressive suburbs mightygoose. Weird houses though. I've never seen that style before. Where is it from?

[szarkoz]

Some boring, American style suburbs from me.

[Alfred.Jones]

Awesome suburbs everyone!!

[Masochist]

szarkoz: Hey, hey, they may be boring and American, but they...wait, what was the third thing you said?     I'm sorry...but I like them!  They sort of remind me of how I build mine, except yours are more realistic because of the fact that they have limited access to the roads.  I bet that helps with traffic, as well, right?  Hmmm...I need to take note...anyways, nice job!  Ahh...were you going to put anything in the middle of that roundabout?

[Tarkus]

Shadow Assassin:  Those are probably some of the most amazing suburbs I've ever seen.   
jplumbley:  I rather like the road layout you have there.  It's quite interesting.  And of course, as I said on your thread in the NHP Team Room, excellent job on the lots!
ACEFanatic02: I really like the way you worked those SimGoober commercial lots and the parks with the ponds in there.
wouanagaine:  Excellent job--I like how you worked that park in there with the trails.  Something I need to mess around with some more myself.   Looks like your roundabout is quite busy . . .
mightygoose:  Those residential buildings you have in there are really interesting, the way they are oriented and their general geometric characteristics.  Kind of futuristic looking . . . nice job! 
szarkoz:  I wouldn't call that boring.  It does, admittedly, remind me of Edward Scissorhands a little bit, though . . .  I'd say the road network is laid out very realistically--a hierarchical system.  Superb.

Here's my attempt at suburbia . . . this is from the city I've been spending most of my time on, Argentum (I've also shown its downtown on the Show us your Downtowns & CBDs thread).  My approach is kind of odd . . . the suburbia is actually quite compartmentalized, as I was trying to preserve the natural resources and make sure the residential was fairly close to shopping.  It still needs a good deal work, and there's actually quite a few Maxis buildings still present, unfortunately.
