my fav so far has been nordhagen beach

easy to defend, mostly surrounded by water and close to central boston.

worst was the castle. I sent everyone away and scrapped the whole dam place after spending hours building it.

I would say Covenant as best one, nice houses (it got some beds that arent in build list too :3), already walled up, suck that you cant put turrets in same place of old ones (that btw start to fight with your own turrets even if they are neutral to you :P).

But well, ofc if you wanna go in "crazy build mode" nothing beat Spectacle island (or w/e is called cant remeber well now) and his 3km wide area hehe

The worst is Coastal Cottage. It's small, overcrowded with the two house ruins, metal containers, some trees, big hole/recess in the middle, a couch and heaps of rubble that you can't scrap to free up space. Plus pathing errors, where the settlers always get stuck continuously walking into the elevated floor of the house ruin at the hole area.

For me I like Star-light drive in. Sanctuary and Red rocket, suits my needs. Built a massive af house at star-light and medium one at Sanctuary on the bases there, and a defensive place at red rocket.

My favorite right now is Egret Tours Marina. Before that it was Kingsport Light House.

Spectacle Island was my favorite for a short time simply for it's location and room for building.

I will be working on Hangmans Alley soon and now using mods I think I will be able to do something interesting with it. I gave up last time because it seems the settlers really had some pathing issues with my design. Really got annoying when a brahmin showed up and kept spawning in areas where it could not get to the area I made for it.

I like the castle only for defense I got bored with it rather quickly. Maybe next time I will roof over the entire center and see where it goes from there.

BUnkerhill has got to be my least favorite simply because besides building on top of the main building you are very limited.

The airport is also a pain since your building options are limited. Would really like to at put up a recruitment beacon. Bit of a pain to have to populate it by manually assign settlers.

The Slog bothers only because there is the platforms and dinner I would really like to do something with outside the build area. I do like that almost every time I am there something goes down with Forged.

I beleive you can just go there and activate the generator. I have not tried it yet but do not think you need to get a mission to make it available. I just think this becuase I was able to get access to the workshop at locations by killing what ever nasty things were calling it home.

The alley in the middle of the city Hangman's Alley
Small and cramped, barely any place to plant crops and you're forced to use hand pumps for water

Spectacle Island is awesome place but its quite far away and you always must swim there...
It would be awesome if you can build ferry what always go there and back...

given the general pointlessness to settlements, they all suck. The best one for the happiness achievement is Starlight imho.

Best Sanctuary Hill, IMO.

Worst Covenent. It was a pain in the ass keeping that place safe with pre existing walls, so i couldn't build crap there. The garbage defense it had was destroyed , and never could be upgraded, fixed.

Best is Spectacle Island (huge open land space to build, bigger then sanctuary))

Sanctuary I like too just cause it already has houses, saves on number of objects used.

Worst is Hangmans Alley (Limited Building Space)

Thier is a small border of space around the outer edges of covenant, You can still mount turrets on the outside
