I, too, have a living area, but mine is setup differently. I have a rectangle of houses, and in the middle is a "common area", filled with playgrounds, statues, gardens, etc. I tried, when I started to make the village seem to be natural, have a living area, a shopping area, a "work" area, a "play" area, etc. It has gotten harder as I get up in Levels, but I try to keep it up.
