My current hood is Pleasantview because I'm doing a challenge and don't see it as a permanent hood.
The hood I want to put together, and in fact did put together once, is very large and has different zones with their own aesthetic. I'm redoing it because I don't like some of what I did in setting it up, and I don't like how I initially populated it. Since I hadn't even finished one round of play before starting the challenge I'm doing now, I plan to scrap it and start over. It had zones that represented different areas, with a shopping center in each zone. There were areas that were South American, Mediterranean, Tropical, Mountain, Beachy, Rural, European, and a Gypsy encampment. Anomalies in my game don't bother me, so if one zone has a very old-style market and one has a more modern grocery, I'm fine with it.
I tend not to use subhoods much for some reason, except for University. After reading about Little Carping, I'm rethinking that a bit, but I just tend to include the subhood type things I use in my regular hood.
