Seems like several people below have expressed the same thought, so let me add to the chorus:
REAL "Fantasy" homes, please! We need Wizard Towers, Abbot's Retreats, Hobbit Homes... not just "suburban tract house with a few vaguely Elvish-looking bits tacked on", which is currently about all Fantasseria has to offer (and which are in no way ("perfect for residents coming from Elderglen" as the notecard claims). Someone needs to go back and re-watch "Lord of the Rings", "The Dark Crystal", "Willow", "The Neverending Story", "Labyrinth", "Krull", "Ladyhawke", and other high-fantasy films to see what _real_ epic-fantasy-inspired structures look like.

Bigger more ornate Victorians for PP, 2nding Garden Dist, NOLA themes, and something spooky, could be mixed with Shotgun style for 1024 and a Quarter Square for 512. Still stumping for 'light business' - with a limited number of vendors per parcel in some kind of residential/commercial theme.

I would love something more like the victorian theme for the premium plus members. The new orleans houses I saw mentioned could work, queen anns, etc. Just something a bit more witchy/goth adjacent. I currently have a ranch but my victorian will always be my favorite linden home i have had. I would love to be able to have that sort of styling again with the size and larger land impact i enjoy on my ranch even if its not my style.

I have an idea although I know it's going to make The moles more busy and not able to help the railroad community but I think this would be a cool idea for Linden homes an actual Linden area that can change with the seasons that would go from winter spring summer then fall. Instead of it being static There are a lot of items on Second Life marketplace that have seasonal and even weather changes.

nathkyo Resident: Hi nathkyo! We do have a Linden Home theme that is seasonal: Aspen Ridge. The regions just changed to summer at the beginning of June. :-)

I love the linden homes themes, and the moles have done a great job with the homes and the landscaping.
I like the option some themes have to turn the house to face a different way, I'd like to see that option for all homes.
For architectural style I like Georgian and art deco themed homes. I also like thatched cottages, but perhaps thatched roof options could be added to the chalet or fantasy themes?
What about a shopping themed area with small shops or pubs with residential spaces above. I could imagine a high street with themed shops along it, and maybe market stalls, or a town square or village green. These could be near stations or community hubs and styled to fit existing themes. If there are issues allowing commercial activity in linden home areas, they could be just for role play and to give a sense that you are living in a town or a village rather than a suburb.

I would like to see floating island houses or speed(ideally speaking) highways in sky as Sci-fi or fantasy mix theme.

Regardless of sizes or new themes, I would like to see new linden homes where most parcels have something special about each one. A waterfall or pond providing a little bit of a water view, or location next to a garden or community space, or parcels placed along landscaped winding roads and bridges. Stuffing most of the houses next to each other in parallel lines is not desirable (at least not for me) even when the landscaping is nice. I would also like to see a more even mix of larger and smaller homes, 2-stories and 1-stories, and a choice of house plans with large windows facing outdoor spaces in different directions to take advantage of a good view. I love the seasonal aspect of the latest Aspen theme and would love to see that for new themes or even as an update to existing themes. It's got to be difficult to make everyone happy, but regardless of theme, well-thought out design of indoor and outdoor spaces is what makes it or breaks it for me.

I second/third/fifth the New Orleans style! Garden District would fit in fairly well with the same kind of plot design as Victorians- house with the yards and spread out a bit into a neighborhood. I love the French Quarter, but it's probably a bit too cramped for Linden Homes- while there are courtyard areas, it's really all designed architecturally for buildings to be built right next to each other.
Speaking of- trying to cram more houses on a region really is, I fear, a mistake. Unless you're going straight up for apartment living, I think people prefer having the space separating them from their neighbors whether they decorate it outside or not.
