What's the best looking planned community in the US?

I'd nominate- Alys Beach. Nothing else looks like this.

Why? Because there are hard rules:

Everything is the same height, and same color.

Very consistent architecture throughout. Bermuda inspired moorish. All super symmetrical.

Big outdoor planters everywhere. Home either has a courtyard or is built around courtyards.

Window/shutter sizes, height, orientation all strictly aligned with each other

Two of a kind at the front, two of a kind in the back.

There are probably a ton of other rules at play. This is just what jumped out to me.

Whether or not you like this, you'd certainly have to say they achieved a Very Specific Aesthetic. Alys Beach feels like a cohesive place.

What are you favorite planned communities?
