Show Us Your Suburbs

[clhigh7 583]

you need to keep it zoned on low density for the mansions not to turn into apartments

[Wheezy 23]

Awesome work:

Mudock813 (Are you from Tampa, or is that a random number?)

Hawkeye9

Masochist (And, yes, the blur on the last pic was awesome.)

Clhigh7 (Nice work with the small islands & the parking lot bridge.)

Here are some from my suspended CJ, Acacia:

Ddense lower-middle class tract housing in Higginsburg, a smaller city across a river from Acacia.

Older homes in Lunsford City, another suburb.

Northeast Higginsburg's Villa Pointe Estates - Starting in the mid 200s.

[Tysons4 68]

wow those look great... i love the way the suburban building look in the morning...

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

I think the el-rail looks out of place.

[Wheezy 23]

True, but I think it might be good idea to run el-rail ines into the suburbs, if you could find enough riders.

Tysons - Funny how the only vehicle on the road to the mayor's house early in the morning is a garbage truck. Wonder what kind of "load" they picked up...

I'm loving this thread!

Great suburbs here. Keep it up, everyone! 

[Wiecher 192]

A suburb with much parks and a river.

The same suburb.

A suburb with some highrises

some older suburbs, close to downtown.

A modern suburb with canals.

Poor people, working in the stinky factories.

another suburb with canals.

Modern suburb along a man-made lake.

[Keegan V50 15]

Great suburbs everyone,

@Tysons4 - eventhough most buildings are maxis but you make your suburb looks very realistic with diagonal streets!

all the best

Pictures from my suburban city Clarksdale, from a new region I have started working on, New Pannonia:

I kept the powerlines by the avenue up for added realism. 

Below, another scene from Clarksdale:

And below, a business section of Clarksdale, complete with those suburban staples, the strip shopping centers and big box retailers:

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

[Keegan V50 15]

Great suburbs!!,here are some of my suburbs...

Hope you guys like it!

[heitomat 156]

@Victor Valdez: What's not to like? Your suburb looks incredible! And realistic! I love the greenery and the spread-out zoning. It really gives me the suburban feeling. Btw: Do you use some kind of a "darker street texture" mod?

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

To the SAM-mobile!

(Just say so if you don't get it.)

How about that.. I didn't even know that SAM featured dark street textures (thought it was all about bricks and dirt..). 

To the I-feel-stupid-mobile!

[jim 546 43]

To the Just-tab-across-and-you'll-find-it-mobile! I think I killed it...  

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Yup, you did.

[art128 4,618]

Fantastic suburbs everyone, I really love yours Victor Valdes !

@Wheezy

First of all, sorry for the late reply. To your question: No, I'm not from Tampa. And the number is not entirely random, but has no real meaning either. But you made me curious here, what is it that connects the number to Tampa?

[Larks2242 251]

Great job everyone on your Suburbs! looks good

[jim 546 43]

I'm guessing 813 is the area code for Tampa?

I thought it was about time for me to make another contribution to this thread. There are some fantastic looking suburbs posted here.

I would like to first show you a shot from a city featured in Marquette Bay, my CJ. This area is suburban Pierpont. Pierpont is one of the largest cities in the region. You are looking southeast in this picture, in an area a few miles outside of downtown. Morrison Road, which crosses the expressway, is one of the city's busiest roads. Dozens of midrise office buildings, apartments and shopping developments have been built along the road.

My second shot is of Firestone. This shot is just south of downtown. I-17 passes through the residential area. Firestone is home to about 40,000 people. A small town center is on one of the main roads in the area and provides an alternative to the crowded box stores a few miles away on Culligan Rd.

[Larks2242 251]

Nice job, Pierpont looks good
