Garden Grove, Part One

One of the largest districts in Doherty is Garden Grove, which straddles the north shore of the Royal River, one of several rivers in the Doherty city limits.

The southeast edge of the district... which is a pretty affluent area.

These blocks are filled with college students attending the nearby Irvington University.

University Avenue splits the campus.

More dense area...

This area is known as the Irvington Crossroads, it is filled with apartments rising out of green tropicalness. (and it's usually way busier than this :P)

We'll end this entry off with the commerce area of Garden Grove... which is what we will focus a little more on in Update 61. There's a lot still to show here :P

Nice entry, k50. :)

 

One question though: which bridge is the one you used in the third to last of the pictures? I can't recognize it.

 

Is it some kind of overlapping model?

I really like the first picture, the use of FAR and non-grid pattern is very sophisticated :)

The use of palm and tropical flora is also good for the sidewalk and empty space.

Yet I would suggest doing similar treatment, perhaps some rocks as well, to the shoreline.

Love the use of diagonals and FAR, K50 :D

 

Mithrik: Its a RHW 6S bridge included in the latest NAM.

I always admire how you make your city fit so perfectly in its tropical environment - neither looks tacked on.

It's great to see all of your praise as always, here's the replies... mostly all familiar faces this time so nice to see you all again :P
Mithrik: Thanks for your comment, it's the 800th in the journal! As mystic_destiny said it's in the new NAM, if you drag a ground highway you can choose it from the options! Although the arch won't show up until it is actually built ;)
pingpong: Thank you for stopping by, normally I do treat my coastlines like you say and I will probably do it to this one too for the next update. I'm glad you liked the flora and the off-grid pattern!
RepublicMaster: Thanks man! I appreciate it!
mystic_destiny: I'm glad you liked them, thank you!
Benedict: I'm glad you admire it, thanks a lot!
TekindusT: Thanks for the admiration! Well, I only count the full updates (not the teasers) as "updates" so I probably won't do anything crazy for 100 posts... but once I hit 1,000 comments or 100,000 views (whichever comes first) I probably will :P
Schulmanator: Always nice to see your comments, thank you!
SimCoug: I'm glad you liked them, thanks for stopping in!
JGellock: Thanks for the praise!
Aaron Graham: Glad you liked them, thanks for the comment!
Titanicbuff: Thanks, I'm happy you thought so! :)
coolwiththecool2: Why thanks! Glad you liked the downtown, you'll see more of it in Update 61!
Sylvio Jorge: Thanks for the compliments, glad you liked how I did it!
111222333444: Thanks for the comment, now get back to work on your closing ceremony for the Simlympics... NOW! :P
