Recommendation: meh 8 / 10 by Sisco

This set is essential for town builders. It has a wealth of house pieces, and tons of accessories. It looks great on a street, and has the classic Lego Town vintage feel. The only things I really didn't like were the folded instructions and sticker sheet, and the plain Jane Dad fig. Minor gripes, but they still brought this set down, IMHO.

Recommendation: no 3.8 / 5 from 13 reviews

I have Legos that have been played with by 4 generations in my family, not new ones but old ones played with. My mother built the kids a table and things for these legos, I built the sets when they were small, my kids played with them, they all grew up and moved away and I kept all the Lego's. Now my grandkids play with them. We have one castle I know was the first and it turned 30 last year, still works as advertised, legos are wonderful. This set has not only the house but has a dog, a tree house, a lounger chair and a barbeque and even a shorter than the parents boy with a skate board.

Recommendation: no 73 / 100 by Rufus

I'm not sure the score does it justice. I actually really like this set; I thouroughly enjoyed building it (and especially enjoyed reviewing it), and it felt - like with City Corner - a refreshing change. I do hope Lego continues with the mini-modular line, and brings us more places for the City residents actually to live.
