New map: where do I put my house?

[Shrimp]

I started a new town (again). Love the map, but now I don't know where to put my house!

Could you help me out? Thinking about placing the cafe and police station above the plaza...

 

[okaimii]

Wow! Love the town map you got there! I'd say your house would look good near the top of the map (where the train tracks are) or even in the area in front of the bridge.

I like to have my mayor's house near the Train station or retail. I hope you find a nice spot.

 

[BlackCatCrossing]

I agree iwth okaimii, or perhaps to the top-right of your town tree. Just my suggestion.

Hmm if it were me I'd choose right above where the river starts on the left side

 

[sodappend]

I like the left side, either above or below where the river starts too. My mayor's house is in a similar spot, I pretend there's a "view" haha.

I like the spots other posters have mentioned - if near the waterfall I'd want to make sure I could get a bridge in there as well (ie a house & a bridge before the large pond).
I think its possible.

I also have a town where I placed the Mayor by the railway tracks - wouldn't like it in real life but made sense on my map.
The other place I would look at is by the dock ramp - possibly on the right hand side.
I'm a fan of being close to my neighbours - BUT - its likely those 4 houses by the cliffs will attract further villagers - its happened in my town. And it makes a nice village effect.

If you place your house on its own its likely to get a villager plotting near it.
Wherever I placed the Mayor's house I would make sure there wasn't enough space in front of it for a villager to plot.
Alternatively plot reset from 6th villager onwards (I did that I'm my latest town).

I think it would be nice on the top right corner around the train tracks. Retail isnt too far and leaves you with decent room to landscape around your house if you like doing that

 

[Mash]

Maybe right around the right there where there is a big empty space.

I personally like my house high up on the town, near the train station and retail, but that's me. Good luck! Looks like a good map.

 

[Cozimnormal]

I think you should have it near the pond and retail, you could do some really nice landscaping there I think

 

[Bufuman]

Personally I'd say just north of the river, inside the curve (just above the bridge). You're pretty much in the middle of town and not too far from the office, Re-Tail, docks, etc.

 

[helloxcutiee]

I love the spot right above Re-tail next to that little pond on the left, that seems like the perfect spot.

 

[Shrimp]

I've put my house above re-tail next to the pond. It looks really cute

 

[Jordan Marek]

I like the top-right of your map. Very nice layout, by the way! I love the river!

 

[paste]

i like the space inside the bend of the river, next to the bridge. i think it'd look kinda cute there, and it seems convenient with the dock directly below it. you don't have to take my advice though, so good luck!

 

[Biscuit_m8]

Near the river near retail or next to a pond!

 

[etsusho]

I kinda like other people's suggestions of doing it by the riverbend, too, so it demarcates one edge of your property.

 

[endlesssky]

I think it would look good under the pond near ReTail
