Creation Notes:

Look, I'm a sucker for a good downtown/main street area. I wanted to emulate that, and since Crystal Valley proper is a bit of a smaller town, this makes sense.

As with the other community lots built my me, yes, the custom parking spaces are wrong. I still need to correct these at some point.

The tailor I enjoy, but it's a bit... cramped? I really wanted the displays to look like that with the elevated foundations, so some sacrifices were made.

Crystal Valley Grocer is... passable. It's a grocery store, so it's not meant to be flashy, but man is it boxy. I tried my best to break it up with that café section, but it's still a bit boring. But hey, boring is okay!

Oceanside Court being the European Townhouse lots just. Kind of happened? I could see them being condos that are used for vacationers.

You can see it off to the edge, but I put down some construction 'hood deco! The plan is to eventually place more homes there, and I felt that it would be a touch more realistic to have that set down in the meantime.
