Great set, OK build experience
The set itself is great. For the city line with road plates, this is very good value and offers a lot of opportunity for customisation. I particularly like the fact that the top 2 floors can be easily removed and changed, as can the balcony. Within the building, theres a lot of detail (bearing in mind this is a city set) whilst still having space to play inside. For me there are two things which stop this being a 5* set. The first is the build experience... for sets like this, you usually can start playing with the building at the end of each bag. Not so with this as its so fragile after the first bag, really it needs the first two bags to be complete before its in a usable state to be played with. The second issue is with the car itself. Its OK... but its so dull and its roof design is fairly fragile. Given the price of the set, and what you get for your money, its easy to accept it for what it is. Overall this is a great set and I would very much recommend it to others.

Lovely build for fleshing out a Lego City
Lovely little build to help flesh out our emerging Lego City - really happy it came with some extra road plates.

Great set!
My kids love this set, especially when the set comes with road plates ( they love road plates). The only small complaint is that is that the paintbrush piece has an unreliable storage area (keeps falling out when moved\being moved). Other than that they love it.

Not practicable
Okay if you are looking for a child this set may work but there is simply not enough room inside to have any playability. No way for them to move floor to floor and the car does not really suit. I have hidden this on my table to fill a gap but will remove as soon as something better comes along

Family House
My 5-year old grandniece GRACE lives in a modest, conventional one floor apt with her 40-something Dad & Mom---who happen to look very much like the figures. We are building GRACE's dream house and encouraging her aspirational goals of becoming keen teen with a kid brother just like the figures. :)

Nice set for a child
I bought and built this set relatively early in my adult Lego building phase. I hadn't at that point realized that the back part of the house is completely open, which I've since learned, is to enable kids to move the minifigs in, out and around the house easily. That being the case, it's a great set. It's got a lot of detail (including a nice bathroom and a TV in a lounge room), a good number of minifigs and a lot of potential for making up stories about the family and their house. I even liked the architecture of the house which I read as being compatible with mid-century modern to early 2000's design. That said, for an adult builder, this might not be completely satisfying. I found myself wishing that the back of the house was included and maybe even some doors between rooms. The real problem that I see is that there really is a limited middle ground between the City sets and the modular building sets. The latter, while a lot of fun to build as an adult, are not really all that easily played with - one has to be careful when removing one floor from another, and even then creating a narrative is tough. It may be that the Ninjago City Gardens set might be a kind of middle ground but I've noticed the back parts of the various stores on that set are not finished either. Perhaps this is an opportunity for the Lego Group to develop another line...please, pretty please?

Fun
Fun to build and so glad to have a Yellow lego lab named trooper. Lol. Would be 5 stars but Lego did not include the white stripes for the road plates. Same with some other sets I've ordered recently that include "road plates". Too much to put 1 or 2 of them in there as xtras, Lego?

Good
Honestly, a good set. Characters, set design, loved the street hockey. Had a lot of fun with this one. The road plates aren't overshadowing which is great.
