I like placing mine around the center or as far from the other houses as possible. The only issue is once villagers start moving in randomly a bunch like to gravitate towards the mayor's secluded area. It makes for a cute little neighborhood though.
I like my house to be on a cliff overlooking the ocean. If it's in a secluded area, then that's a plus as well. I don't really mind if villagers build houses close where I am as long as they don't build on top of my perfect fruit trees or interfere with my garden. I find it flattering now that they want to live near me, although it did used to annoy me.
My house is right on the edge of the cliff, next to the end of the waterfall. There's still a fair bit of space in front though, so I have a big flower garden, and there's no room for villagers to move anywhere near me Plus when your house is by the beach, you can hear the sound of waves etc so it's really lovely ^^
I love my placement so much I decided to make an artwork to showcase it when I started playin. Near the cliff, trapped by the river and next to the waterfall that goes into the sea (love the ocean wave sounds in my house!) => http://ripley4o77.deviantart.com/art/New-Leaf-small-beginnings-378891239
I like my houses kind of isolated (meaning away from the stupid places my villagers out their houses x.x). So, by the cliff side, tucked into a corner, in the middle of those little islands that rivers sometimes make... Those are my ideal kind of places.
Three of my player houses are tucked into their own little area, and the only my 4th is a little more in the open. My mayor's house is in a downwards river U-bend to prevent villagers from moving too close.
I really liked a little bend in the rive in my town that was almost an island because there was a long pond near it that made it look like a square surounded by water. It would have been perfect but freaking DOTTY had her house there. It was right next to the town hall and re-tail too. I was so angry. SO angry.
Out of anger I placed my house in a terrible spot hahaha.
I put my house in a place that is mostly secluded, and won't be an obstruction from any future PWP I want to place. The bridge that's next to my house is obviously the original. It's going to be demolished as soon as Mallary requests the modern bridge (I can't wait, OMG).
The added benefit of placing my house where it is: I can hear the ocean.
I didn't know you could from inside your house, but it's the coolest thing ever.
I like my house near the cliff by the ocean. It's out of the way for future developments and its close by the beach so I can hear the ocean. When I play early I just love to go to the beach when its sunrise. The colors are just so beautiful and the whole town peaceful.
