Apple Valley Academy
The newly renovated Apple Valley Academy is complete and ready for it's close-up. The school sits on the largest allowed piece of property (3x3) in the county and has a third level that is currently storage, but can be expanded if the need arises.
The first level features the principal's office, art classroom, music classroom, auditorium, library and cafeteria. Outside there is plenty of space on the playground, basketball court and school garden to relax and enjoy the crisp days of fall.
Antonio Herendez volunteers once a week to teach students the basics of art appreciation,
while Nicole Humphrey works part-time teaching music, or torturing her ears, depending on the student.
The cafeteria is stocked with healthy eating options such as mac and cheese, vending machines and the addictive coffee.
The library has a bank of computers as well as an ever growing book collection for student research.
Benjamin Endeavor leads an outdoor physical education class part-time whenever the weather is nice, otherwise the class is moved indoors,
much to the dispair of the secondary students who hoped to see Benjamin without his shirt once more. Students also enjoy the outdoor garden and fish pond.
The second level contains the dance room (and indoor physical education room), technical arts room, secondary classroom (6-12); lower primary classroom (K-2) and upper primary classroom (3-5).
Ilila Peterson manages to keep her students seated and focused as they compare their reading materials. Her classroom contains most of her travel momentos,
classroom fish tank (that the secondary students love) and bright, cheerful paintings.
Jasmine Frankson perfers a more laid back teaching style for her students as she allows them to explore the delights of thier surroundings. The students are surrounded with a classroom wombat, plant station, activity table, large table for reading and writing and plenty of floor space for fun and games.
Jesse Kent is just glad that he doesn't have to deal with taunts of "booger face" though he now has to try to teach his students the strange world of algebra. When students are not glued to their seats wishing for lunchtime, they can be found exploring the bookcase full of magazines and university information in the back.
Susie MacAstral doesn't have that problem with her dance class
nor do the students complain when it's their turn in the techincal arts room. Harriet and Henry work hard on their respective crafts while ignoring each other as siblings often do.

New Poll
There's a new poll in the sidebar. Answer as many times as you want. I'm curious as to what other simmers are looking for.
Also, if you have custom requests for lots, then feel free to post your ideas in the comments below. I'm always looking for a new challenge and since my hood is so tiny and can only hold so many lots, then what better way is it to build for a fellow simmer's hood instead.

LaPlace Street Homes
Dre from Neighborhood 99 suggested I try my hand at rental homes again and since I have a new family that I would love to move into a small rental/starter home, then I built something quickly.
Shot from my building hood, my attempt at building two such lots with a fake street bewteen. The orange brick house has a basement, so from hood view it looks like this, but on the lot it looks fine...not sure of why. Anyhoo, we'll be looking at the other set of homes.

Morningside Co-Op (2x2) 3 units
I made this ages ago, when AL first came out, so it's a bit basic and huge in my opinion. It was modeled after a larger lot from MTS

Sawyer Lofts
Ok, another apartment lot. I have some university students with a bit of money and they will be looking for a stylish apartment. This apartment would be great for your uptown part of town where all the hip young professionals and professors live.
Sawyer Lofts is a 2x1 lot with five levels, there isn't much behind the building, maybe some room for your dumpsters or hack objects.
Rent $1608-$1670

Les Cours Papineau
Today is one of my last days of freedom before starting the doctoral program full time and after a recent trip to Montreal, I was inspired to build so many different apartment and condo buildings. To celebrate, I started a new larger hood just to house my building projects since Apple Valley is far too small to hold all the building ideas :)

15 Jonagold Lane
This large spacious five bedroom, three and half bathroom home has plenty of great views, roomy backyard and landscaping. It's a steal at only $61,089 and is located on a 2x2 lot.
It comes unfurnished except for the basic fixtures and the walls are lacking paint, otherwise it's move in ready.
