Very similar and nice, but I guess I'll go with Santa Rosa Beach due to appearing a bit more "natural"/authentic in built environment.

Have to go with Allen Park since the brick streets are more distinct and the houses are closer to the street. This hilltop view is pretty nice as well.

I definitely prefer Hillsboro. I love the architecture and vegetation, and it just feels much more homey.

Campus Corner - Norman, Oklahoma

or

The Strip - Tallahassee, Florida?

I'll go with Campus Corner due to being compact and walkable, while blending right into the University of Oklahoma.

Staying with the same theme with a couple of places I'm familiar with...

Crouse-Marshall, Syracuse NY: https://www.google.com/maps/@43.0416...2!9m2!1b1!2i37

or

Grand River Avenue, East Lansing MI: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.7343...2!9m2!1b1!2i37

East Lansing to me looks more happening, and a little more dense, so I'll go with that one.

Two more downtown/business areas near college campuses:

State College, PA(near Penn State): https://goo.gl/maps/y68ATzy28PPwvzBt7

or

Athens, OH(near Ohio University): https://goo.gl/maps/uow6K5KFHPGGkEfX9

Athens because everything looks interesting, especially with those bricks, rather than State College's more generic buildings.

Kerns, Portland, Oregon

or

East Rock, New Haven, Connecticut

The houses in East Rock are more interesting (although Portland has some New England-like homes in nearby Ladd's Addition). It's also odd and amusing to see a small neighborhood grocery store that's so upscale. I've only spent a few hours in Connecticut and never been to New Haven, but I'm mildly surprised to see such a quiet, non-dense neighborhood only blocks from the Yale campus.

Suburban hell with sculptural balms:

Pacific Hwy, Lynnwood WA

France Ave, Edina MN?

I'll go with Lynnwood, as it actually has some degree of legitimate walkability in that area.

Strongly prefer the PA one. Love how dense parts of it are (1, 2), which is common among the small towns in northern Appalachia. Despite being a town of just over 10,000, its downtown goes on for blocks and blocks and has three art galleries right next to each other. It even has its own suburbs, Wayne Heights and Rouzerville.

Also pleasantly surprising to see a newer building in town.

The Midwest in the not-Midwest:

Davenport, WA

St. Albans Town, VT?
