That's awfully cute I love it!
How do you arrange your villager's houses?

Mine are spread out across the island. I'm going for a more natural, wild looking island so I think it fits better. However, I've seen some youtube town tours where everyone is in a little neighborhood and I think that's super cute too!
I personally like to keep mine spaced out, and I don't mean like 4 tiles or anything. I mean like a 'decent' walk to the next house. Like 30-40 tiles. However, villagers that hold a lot of meaning to me tend to be fairly close to me! Sometimes they're like 4 tiles away, sometimes around 10.
It really just depends on my mood and what type of landscaping I'm doing! In my current case, Skye is about 15 tiles away from my player's house.

I wanted enough room to give all of my villagers yards, so they're spread out, but also in clusters so they all have neighbors across 2-3 "neighborhoods".
I have three in a line right in front of my airport, then another two across the river (still roughly along the same line, but I need to move one of the houses back to put them in an exact line). Then I have a cluster of five houses on three layers: one house at ground level, then two on the middle cliff, and two on the top cliff.

I have a 3 villagers in a little suburb area north of downtown; 3 in a rural area to the north; 2 have beachfront properties with a park right behind them; and 2 are nestled between the park and downtown, but sacrificed decent yard space for a sweet location, lol.
The groupings are pretty scattered, but I like having different “neighborhoods” around the island.

I have them spread out because I like the classic Animal Crossing town feel. I usually keep at least two next to each other so they have neighbors. Except poor Marina, who's isolated on her own section of the island. Not out of any dislike for her, it just worked out that way. I'm planning on moving a house closer to hers, so I'll basically have sets of two houses in different areas throughout my island.
I love this! The houses are so nicely arranged but still spread out! I have the same sort of river layout as you with both of my river mouths towards the south end of my island so it's great to see how you've laid it all out.
Thank you so much! The south river mouths are definitely a little tricky to work with, especially if you have two thinner strips of land on either side. I'm glad I could helpI love this!

My layout is all spread out. I do like the neighborhood idea but I would have no idea what to do with the rest of the island. I also like the idea of everyone having their own areas that I can cater to their personality. I do have a big section of the island with no houses though but I feel like it is evenly balanced.

Mine are spread out generally in pairs, but some distances between villager houses are closer than others.

i don't have a photo of my map, but i have my villagers in little clumps of 2-3 around my island on the first level, and i live in the middle-ish! i like having them all near each other, but not so near that the rest of the map feels a lil empty. i think i might move them a little further apart though, so they can have their own individual yards instead of little shared community gardens.
by the time I finished placing most of the houses I saw some people make cute little backyards for their villagers and I kinda wish I had done that! But I put them in little neighborhoods close together because I liked the idea of them living in a commune
I have mine in 3 different neighborhoods right now. 3 buildings under my house by the beachside stores, 5 by the beach on the other side of the map, and 2 living near the tier'd terrain. I haven't unlocked terraforming yet so this is just what I've done so far.
Mine are in a three tiered neighborhood by the East beach. There's four houses on the lowest level with a kind of suburban feeling - terracotta tile street, a park and orange trees.
Then a row of three on the next level with a more natural feel - dirt paths and shrubs with a little wooden fence along the cliff. Then two houses on the top level with a really woodland vibe. You can access both levels from either the beach or the town side.
There's a pool behind the top two houses and I'm planning to move the final house into the square of path you can see behind that.
