For mediums, everyone seems to always say plot 6 in the Mist. I'll agree, it does look better "on paper", which is why I got it initially. A plot 30 opened up, so I decided to move for a change of scenery, and I actually preferred it! Such a nice, roomy spot - with an amazing view to boot. I finally got a plot 5 like you, which is my favorite in the game (well 35 is actually my favorite, but you get what you can when it's available), but I sincerely believe that plot 6 is overrated and plot 30 is underrated - though they are both awesome. If I was going to downsize to another Medium though, it would have to be plot 41 in the Lavender Beds. I had this plot on another server before I moved, and it's definitely my second favorite. Shirogane 30 would probably be third, but I find it difficult to get past the interiors in Shiro... I'm also very fond of Goblet 49. Goblet 19 has too many moving shadows from the windmill during the day, which I find distracting. I can't think of a housing area that I actually prefer the main ward to the subdivision! Seems like they actually thought about orientation when they implemented the second go around... hahaha
