The verdict

This is one of those City sets that turns out cleverer than it looks on the box.

You build it in stackable room modules that snap together in whatever order you like, so a kid can rearrange the whole block on a wet afternoon. The six minifigures give it real life, and the mix-and-match idea means it plays nicely with other City buildings. My honest hesitation is the price against the part count, so this one is a much easier yes when it dips below full retail.

Best for: Kids who love rearranging their own little LEGO neighbourhood

The full review

What it is

The clever bit here is the room modules. Instead of one fixed tower, you build a stack of separate rooms (a convenience store, a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom with a proper toilet and tub) and each one clicks onto the next like a tray. What got me is how freely they come apart. A kid can pull the whole apartment block down to floor plates, reshuffle the rooms, and rebuild it into something that feels like their own place, and none of it needs an adult hovering to keep it stable. It is a small idea done well, and it is the reason this set has more play life than its size hints at.

The catch

I do want to be straight with you about the money. At its recommended price this is not a lot of plastic for what LEGO asks, and 688 pieces spread across five little rooms means each module is fairly light on brick. Because you build it section by section, the process also feels smaller than the finished tower looks on the shelf, so if you are chasing that satisfying long sit-down build, this is not really that. And for a City set from 2023, the total absence of an animal figure genuinely surprised me, since a dog or a cat has become almost expected in this line. None of these are dealbreakers, but they are the reasons I would wait for a discount rather than pay full sticker.

Who it's for

Get this if you or the child in your life loves rearranging a little world, or if you are quietly building a homemade LEGO street and want a residential block that plugs into the rest. The modular hook is real and it rewards imaginative play far more than a static facade would. I would steer away if you want a display-piece build with heft and detail, because at this price the modular Creator Expert houses or a proper City corner set will feel like more brick for the money. For its actual job, being a fun, reconfigurable home full of characters, it does the work.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

The build itself is gentle and quick, which suits the age range it is aimed at. You work through the rooms one at a time, and because each module is its own little tray with walls and furniture, you get a lot of small satisfying finishes rather than one big climb. It is the kind of set two people can build side by side, each taking a room, and that shared quality is genuinely part of the charm. The interiors carry it: tiny appliances, a shop counter, a bathtub and toilet, the sort of furnishing detail that makes kids narrate a whole day in the flat.

For the parts hunter, the real value is in the minifigures rather than any exotic mould. Four of the six torsos are brand new prints, and they are good ones, the 80s workout guy and the flowery-shirted neighbour with the moustache being the pick of the litter. You also get a mobility scooter and a bike, which are handy little accessory pieces for city dioramas. Do not come here expecting rare recolours or a new mould to write home about, since the brick is mostly standard City fare in useful everyday colours. The draw is character parts and a pile of small furniture elements you can scatter through your own builds.

Fun facts

01The set was released in June 2023 and retired at the end of 2024, so it had a fairly short shelf life at retail.
02All six minifigures are unique to this set, and four of the torsos were brand new prints when it launched.
03Because the rooms use the same connection system as other LEGO City buildings, you can combine this block with separate City sets to build a taller custom street.
04It carried a recommended price of $94.99 (£74.99 / €84.99) for 688 pieces, one of the pricier per-brick City sets of its year.
