Residential Area

[Nalytha]

I've been browsing some places. I'm not sure if I am allowed to name names here. But I'm seeking advice for some places that I may not know about in order to check out. I would like to rent or buy land (around 1024m) to place a home in a residential area. I'm well aware that such places do not guarantee social interaction as we all hail from different time zones. I'm particularly interested in a covenant and placing a home in an area that is reliable (long history), and residential in nature (neighborhood). I will list a few places that I have come across and my own personal issues with them. I will premise by saying these are all great places, simply not the perfect fit for me. In order to not offend by listing negatives for particular places, I will list a general list of these places and leave the reviews without the name. 

Locations: Lionheart, Willowdale, Chung Estates

Place A: The most beautiful by far. My issues are the price, size of land (the smallest is still a bit too large for my needs), and that all parcels are separated by tall mountains. 

Place B: I like these, however they do seem a bit generic in the sense that there are no roads/sidewalks. Just square plots in a grid. My biggest concern however is the apparant lack of enforcement of the covenant. Even a sales rep today told me contradictory information (that residents were permitted to use ban lines even though the written covenant clearly says no ban lines. Also, the covenant and even the sales representative said no large boundery walls were allowed, however I saw many. 

Place C: I love these the most. They match exactly what I am seeking as far as a residential feel. However, the price is a bit steep. Regardless of what their website says to convince that they are cheaper in the long run, unless you stay for months and months to a year, the prices are quite steep. In my opinion this is a ploy to get that initial big fee, knowing that most users will not stay long. Then they leave and the next person pays that large fee. It's actually quite genious.

It is not a ploy but good business, to attract those who are most likely to know what they want and stay put. 

Do check whether the refund policy is clearly stated, for example if they close a sim you are on.

If you ARE interested in social interation as a byproduct of residential living, you might consider looking into some RolePlay communities, or commuinities with a theme, as they tend to keep stricter guidelines for residents building while at the same time encouraging interaction and reliable longevity! As an example, places like Caledon offer a large grid of Steampunk themed goodness, with parcel rentals available for home or businesses with an incredibly friendly community! You might have better luck finding what you're looking for outside of private estate rentals....

I am also providing a list of Suburban/Residental themed RolePlay sims! They each have their own rules and RP flexibility, but it can make a big difference being in an area with themed housing and roads/sidewalks rather than banlines and jagged mountain boundries between parcels ^-^ Best of luck in your seach for a place, Nalytha!
