Show Us Your Suburbs

[Bdub01 201]

No the iron gates in front of some of your suburb streets.

I think you're talking about the post of clhigh7

He mentions:

I have been playing around with lot editor today and thanks to some wonderful props I tweaked the existing DH gated entrance and had fun building a couple new neighborhoods with it.

Your absolutely right! Sorry if I asked the wrong person. But those gates are awesome!!!

Haha, no need to say sorry, errare humanum est

here are some old pictures I pulled from my old Portland CJ in an attempt to bring this almost dead topic alive again...

Here's a bunch of shots from a single suburb named Fairview that I've been working on. It's a city that has its own original small town grid going as well as the grid of its much larger neighbor Riverbottom, which is to the north (the side of the city most of the development is concentrated on). It sits at about 50,000 residents in an area of approximately 500,000:

My first uploaded picture, hope it works

A small community named Canal Village, I don't like gridded streets for residential, with a nice Minor League Ball park to the right,

I'm a rookie I know,

Cypresswood Town Center

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is that named after the Woodlands, Texas, since that is a suburb (technically exurb). Even if its not, this is still a great city!

Yeah, I was just building and building  and then ran out of space, then I transferred my region to a larger map and had some extra space in the northern area and figured doing a little copy of The Woodlands would be a nice touch.

People, people, all these quotes full of images here! Please remove the images when you quote someone, it makes the thread easier to read

If you really want the full "town center" effect, you've got to mix in some larger buildings that abut the waterfront. The trend in suburban town centers is to move away from the traditional big-box store toward something that aims at a quasi-urban feel.

I am considering doing larger offices across the street. I was really going for more of an outdoor/outlet mall but Cypresswood Town Center is just the name. They have that in all sorts of strip center and big box developments all across Houston and Texas.

Pretty Cool ^

 

 

 

Fall foliage is always nice.

This is the middle of a large residential neighbourhood. This particular image is only residential. There are some massive developments (commercial) just out of the picture.

More in my CJ.

Nice creations everybody! Here's my suburb. It's he 23 century.

[alvarorojas4 2]

I'm wondering how to do to create an entrace for some house, like in this picture?

Here's a chunk of the better-done suburbs from a region I abandoned a couple years ago.  This one was part of an outlying city called "Iona Junction".

 

 

Another image from the same quad, closer to the downtown:

love all those natural trees in suburbs! real american suburban feel (except for southern california and phoenix, all non-natural lol)

Here's a newly developing part of Solitude, the suburbia to the south of my city New Concorde.  Construction on a new segment of light rail was just completed.  The line will connect this area of Solitude to the urban area north of it with a park-and-ride lot and bus terminus.  As you can see, it's located near some major strip commercial developments, and new apartment buildings have already been built near the station.

Somers Point is a middle class enclave north of Stone Harbor. 

 

[coolwiththecool2 827]

nice!

[Kifflom112 355]

@clhigh7, that is so lovely man! Do you have a CJ?

[Bdub01 201]

Pretty nice suburbs. I'll have a pic shortly I reckon.

[WiiGoGetter 65]

I have no idea why I made no posts in so long.

I started building suburbs like shown below since NAM 31 came out

Don't take this the wrong way, but your curves are sexy.
