What do you like in a town map?

[Starlightz]

So, I just got my second copy of ACNL and I really want to have a nice town for this copy instead of my 'go with the flow' first copy. I know a lot of people will spend hours looking for the perfect town map. I'm curious to know what you guys looks for when you're initially starting a new town. The worst for me is trying to find a river pattern that I like.
Thanks for your help c:

pirate beaches are beach that has no access except going into the water with a wet suit

Ahhh, I see. I'm trying so hard to get my plaza in the middle of my map, but it's very stubborn

I like having a private beach, apart from that I'm not too fussy really. I have my plaza in the centre of my map in my cycle town and it is pretty cool having a large path lead directly from the train station to the plaza .

I love when villagers are mainly in one area <3 (At the start most of my villagers were in a row, but now, of course my favourite Marshal had to move into the wrong spot....) Also when you get a beautiful space to plant flowers with no retail nearby, I love that. <3

I feel you with the flowers! In my main town there's just building everywhere so it's hard to plan out gardening things

Oh yeah I've seen that, my cycle town is winter themed, with star snow . I have a path that looks like ice.

I hate when there are narrow strips of land, so I mostly just try to avoid those. Other than that I'm not too picky ^^
I don't like when there's more than 3 ponds though

when i started the game, i never knew people were so picky about their maps. i don't LOVE my native fruit (orange) but i really like my map even though i never reset for it.

one or very few ponds, town hall and plaza near the top of the town. re-tail isn't too far away from everything and fairly close to the beach. i also like that it has a private beach and that the river runs pretty evenly along the land (split nicely down the middle mostly).
