Not so much eastern bloc, more like east of England.  Those types of houses are all over the older suburbs in the UK.

Heres something thats not fully finished. I have been trying to get this right for a long time.

A transition between Urban apartments and suburban homes.

Heres my try at it

Great looking suburbs everyone! 

And here's my addition to this thread: 

A small suburb in the outskirts a town I started to work on yesterday.

Josh, I really like your use of open space. I've always thought that too many people (and I'm guilty of this too) try too hard to fill every single tile. You've made the open area look really natural. Nice work.

clhigh7 & mapaly, I love the uniformity of your suburbs. Looks great!

[sbh565 2]

Josh, I love the way your suburbs are just the right mix of open areas and developed land! I got some really good ideas from you, so thank you

@clhigh7: I really like how you have the golf course in between the houses! That is very realistic.

The transistion between medium density to suburbs is currently to abrupt, but I'm very happy with the result of the suburbs itself.

Mine is more of a village than a suburb, but it fits here...

This is a small section of my suburbs. I have a question tho.

Is there anyway to stop the standard game growables from growing?

As at present to get those semi detatched houses to grow i have to keep buldozing the game ones until the ones like these grow, can i block the original houses from growing?

I'd like rows of semi detached, terrace houese like in the real UK suburbs, the way i do it now takes ages and sometimes certain plots only seem to grow the standard game european houses which look nothing like real Uk houses.

Any help please?

Thanks.

Here's another part of my inner suburbs.

The plot of land near the skate park at the bottom right of this image, only seems to grow standard game houses, like the ones shown in this image, i have demolished them more than 10 times and they always grow back with these stupid orange roof houses which look noting like UK houses and dont fit in with the houses across the road or my suburbs.

Is there anyway to block the standard Euro tileset houses from growing? So only the custom growables grow? Or do i have to keep demolishing until the house i want there grows?

Thanks for any advise.

Still haven't quite got a hold of the new StEx, but I know Dirk made a "block all maxis building" mod. Maybe someone can find the link and post it here for you though.

I've got a link, though it is not for the STEX but from the LEX. Here it is [linkidinke]

And here's a recent shot from a suburb of mine

Nice mix of densities and high attention to detail, Mastof.

[Adrianor 628]

@Mastof: Just...perfect.

[dietercl 5]

@mastof: super pic but what are the 2 buildings in the top right corner?

[tankmank 853]

Wow love the Japanese suburb

Something a bit different but this is still the suburbs, well inner suburbs of New Amsterdam a new project i'm doing.

[tonyr 926]

Awesome suburbs guys,simply beautiful!

[Moonraker0 192]

Here is a suburban area to the south of my latest city.

Past the border of the city tile, they continue to expand...

And expand...

Here is the a screenshot from right before the game crashed (although, fortunately, I saved after all the plopping and zoning so I just have to watch it grow again). This is the most distant and most recently developed suburb of Ternes, my latest city.

Here's a screenshot of my first city actualy built as a suburb, The City of Nelson:

Here's a shot from one of my cities. In this pic you can see the transition from outer suburb to inner suburb

[nicolasville 2]

Here's a suburb that I made.
