The Sims 4: Every Neighborhood, Ranked | Game Rant
Living in the perfect neighborhood is a must in The Sims 4. Players wonder which neighborhood would fit their build style the most or which neighborhood comes with the coolest additions. The many expansion and game packs have added additions such as apartments, story-driven goals, and city sections. Each neighborhood also takes on a unique look.
Each neighborhood takes inspiration from a real world area. Some look European while others are set in the desert. Depending on how players want to play, they are sure to find a neighborhood that fits their need. There is even one the player can create themselves.
18 Magnolia Promenade
Magnolia Promenade was added in the Get to Work expansion pack. The area is small, only allowing four lots to be added. Magnolia Promenade is meant for businesses, so a home or apartment would look out of place in this area.
Three lots are already occupied, meaning players only have one lot to create their own business. While not appearing as a customizable lot, the police station and hospital are also located in this neighborhood.
17 Granite Falls
Granite Falls is a vacation neighborhood added in the Outdoor Retreat game pack. Sims are able to vacation in this neighborhood for 7 days, but must leave when that time is up. Necessary camping material can be bought at the ranger stations, meaning Sims do not have to be prepared.

16 Forgotten Hollow
Forgotten Hollow is a neighborhood perfect for any vampire. It was added in the Vampires game pack and offers a total of 5 lots.

15 Newcrest
Players who like to build their own homes will love this neighborhood. Newcrest was added in an update to the main game, adding a neighborhood with no buildings. There are a total of 15 empty lots, meaning players can build up a neighborhood of their own.

The neighborhood has a small downtown area, coming with a bar, gym, and museum. Being from the base game, it should be expected nothing too impressive comes with Oasis Springs.

Britechester was added in Discover University and offers two universities – either University of Britechester or Foxbury Institute. There is also a town in the middle, where any Sim can live in.
