Out of every world from The Sims 3 (including all store worlds and expansion packs), which starter home is your favorite? And by starter home, I mean a house that a new Sim could afford without any money cheats right from the very start.

Other towns IDK. Most of my games start in SV and move away later on.
I like dogpatch in Riverview.
The Claw Machine Diaries Challenge
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind
I think some of the cheapest would be the traitors in Riverview next to where the Brokes live or some apartments in Bridgeprt.
On that note, if you ever want a custom starter built...
My version of a starter home is the 'yard abode' which is an empty lot where I build the most basic of a house, at least two bathrooms, one bedroom and I have a kitchen and TV outside. If needs need an object for a skill, I buy it and then let them earn their own money.
These 'yard abodes' are the most basic of living arrangements but they where a bit easier to manage before Seasons came out...
I will also often play a little cheaty by placing a rooming house type lot in my town (for example a fire station or an updated Red Rendezvous) and create a small 10X10 lot close by. My sim technically lives on the empty 10X10 lot but actually spends all their time at the "rooming house". They take the left over money and invest it in a partnership.
I usually choose Pomeranian Hybrid in Riverview
It's a little small if you want or already have a family but it's still cute.
In Appaloosa Plains--my usual town of choice--I choose that house on Turkey Trot or Pacer Place. Then when I save up, I always get that house near the Parrott's I believe..? It's yellow and has a pool in the back.
I love Mosquito Cove. My fave game ever started with a hobo/klepto living there stealing at night (dumpster diving too) & sculpting furniture during the day. It was great fun!
All the houses that come in the library from Generations are great, wayyyyyyyy above the average. Whoever made them did a superb job!
I like the Ginger from the library as well - there are a lot of cute houses in the library, especially from Generations, but I'm not sure which ones work as 'starters'.
