What are the highest rated/desired plot locations?

I was wishing plot 29 in Mist because of the really good view. But I'd gotten 19 Goblet instead, my "plan B" plot. And I'm really happy it was turned that way.

To me, part of the appeal of belonging to these neighbourhoods is the social interaction with their people, makes the whole thing more lively and interesting. If privacy was what made a plot more desirable, instanced housing would've been the true solution to housing, yet as far as I know, most people do not want that.

The ward system, with a few exceptions, will never be social places as the design doesn't allow it. If you compare the number houses per ward it guarantees that most of the time those visiting their house will be in a different ward. Adding more wards only exacerbates the situation. The only way to increase social activity is to direct all players into common areas that are independent of wards.

The BEST plot is the one you own :)

And then two moogle houses on other side. I had to move.

This. You'll always have a chance to see your neighbours at the MB, provided they're around - and for the most part yards are set away from each other in ways you can't just hang out anyway. You want 'seclusion' for views and pictures. Sure, not everybody wants that, but given that the focus on housing tends to be on making it picture-perfect, it makes a kind of sense that people want a location that can be picture-perfect. And while I fault no one for having Paissa or Moogle or Chocobo or whatever walls, they don't usually figure into my photo choices.

I can’t figure out why people like Lavender 3. It’s such a bad location

I think it has to do with it being one of the very rare large lots.

Anything beachside is good in The Mist for me. 19-21 or 49-51. Was so glad I was able to nab one for myself.

L-#16 I'm going to get alot of crap for this, but I feel it's better than #30 because of the privacy, and the extra land on both sides, bamboo forest. You also don't have to deal with ERPers contaminating your hot springs, with Ummm love nectar.

I own houses on both these plots (FC + Private) and I can't be happier with the locations.

I'm a little biased because it is also my plot, but my favourite plot is 21/51 in Mist, it's right on the beach and still far enough away from the MB that I don't notice any traffic :) absolutely adore my spot <3

My favourite plots are plots on a high position like a hilltop with a view of the sea & sunset, therefore Shirogane plot 16/46 or Mist 15/45 are my favourite.
