This is my first creator set as an AFOL. Recently I'd started up again with my first set being 3182 City Airport. Firstly I was already surprised that the bags in this set weren't numbered so I had the whole thing spread out over a table. It took me approx 2 and 1/2 hrs to build this set which surprised me.
I think the creator houses look amazing and I hope to collect them all for a nice suburban theme a few streets out of my city. They actually need to be placed away from the city as they dwarf all the actual city sets and the proportions do not match up.
I have since furnished the house and I have moved some mini-figs in. I also added a white fence and a yellow post-box to the front garden.

Overall I love this set and it only fuels my love for Lego Town/City and is inspiration to continue my collection.

I was excited when I found this set on clearance for 35$ but even more excited when I realized how awesome it is. I have a few other creator houses but this is undoubtedly the best and easily ranks among my favorite sets for a number of reasons:

Pros

• Separates into three sections for excellent playability.
• Large rooms great for interior decorating. There was enough room to build a kitchen and dining room downstairs, a bedroom in one half of the upstairs and a bathroom in the other half.
• Outdoor patio great for entertaining guest-figs and yard great for the mini-fig-kids.

• Many nice details, such as full chimney, large front window, sliding glass door, full staircase, tile walkway, windows shudders, eaves, attic vents . . . etc.

• Building experience was straightforward and really fun.

• Overall aesthetics of the interior and exterior are even more pleasing than what appeared on the box (usually the opposite).

There are very few negatives about this set. The only few I noticed were:

Cons

• High walls make it difficult for big people to put little people inside. However, my daughter didn't seem to have any issues.

• The little light above the front door will pop off if you even look at it the wrong way.

• Needs a mini-fig-family!

This review is based on the primary build.

Overall rating:
The 6754 Family House's McMansion styled architecture makes a nice addition to the LEGO collection. One of the better LEGO homes for providing a usable, playable and accessible interior living space. The second floor is sizable and removable in two halves (front and back).

There is some spacial slight of hand. More living space than most LEGO house sets, but at the expense of not having a garage. I could easily see buying a second set, doing a mirror image build, construct a garage where the front window is, move that window to the back and combining the two to make a large McMansion with a garage.

The tan/brick yellow theme is a welcome relief from white brick houses, I'd still prefer medium or light brick color.

Overall, the Family House is wonderful. beautiful on the outside and a less clutter and better interior than most sets.

I really regret missing out on purchasing the 4954 Model Town House when it was in stock at an affordable price. Yet, I found myself a little reluctant to take the plunge on the 6754 Family Home. With a little soul searching I came to the conclusion that I was wanting the Family Home to fulfill my Model Town House expectations.

Building experience:
The 6754 Family House is appropriately packaged in a rather large box and include four sets of instructions. Two are for the primary build and the other two for the alternate builds.

With nearly a thousand pieces, it would have been nice if the bricks had been packaged for a sequential build of the primary house. Hunting for the right brick proved unnecessarily time consuming and mildly annoying.

Having already built the 4956 House, two 4996 Beach Houses, 5891 Apple Tree and the 8403 City House, the Family Home was a familiar build. The unique build technique for this set was the slightly inset windows and the porch lamp. The arched window with the art deco glass blocks above the doorway is a nice touch.

The back half of the roof isn't very strong structurally. It nearly collapsed when I tried to pack down the bricks.

I find the alternate builds unappealing.

Parts:
Sliding doors. Blue and white curved slope pieces. A nice collection of tile pieces. Gold bird bath piece. Great pieces for building houses. Probably not as good for more exotic creations.

Playability:
Outstanding design for playability. The Family House is just waiting for a family to move in. With the exception of the picnic table and mug, the house is unfurnished and vacant. On the plus side, this means you can complete it as you see fit. There's also the pet duck.

Value for money:
Pretty good value for the money. It's been a long time since purchasing a set with this many pieces. Four sets of instructions have to cost a bit for LEGO to include.

Areas for improvement:
Now that I own five unfurnished LEGO homes, I'd like to see LEGO produce some interior sets. Kitchen, living room, study and bedrooms. I think there's a market for it.

I really do like this set, but it is a bit of a "fixer upper." I don't count off for these things, because the sets are often compromises to make a model with alternate designs. Plus, we generally have the option of fixing them.

The red roof, blue shutters and yellow door (primary colors) are a little cartoonish for my tastes.

This is the first house set I've bought that didn't have a mailbox and token tree. I'd love to see a shade tree behind the duck pond. I definitely want to upgrade the duck pond's plant life with Bamboo leaves 30176 or Leave 3 Elements 6255 pieces and the flowers to the 3741 stalk variety.

The diagonal sidewalk heads for the duck pond, doesn't reach the street. Not sure you would build a sidewalk to the duck pond, but not the street. But is easily fixable with just a straight path to the street.

The first floor interior arch has a zigzag that looks like a mistake.

The picnic table at the front of the patio obscures the nice tile pattern and blocks traffic through the sliding doors. Moving the picnic table to the back of the patio would allow you to see more of the tile pattern and make the sliding doors more accessible.

An interior wall on the second floor would make the roof stronger.

White flooring upstairs?

More of a chuckle, building a fireplace under the L shaped wooden staircase seems like really ill advised fire hazard. The resulting fire could leave family members on the second floor stranded, without an escape route. Fortunately, LEGO City has a renowned Fire Department just down the street. A stairwell that reverses directions 180 degrees with either an under stairs closet or toilet, seems like a better floor plan.

I bought this set from my local target for 60 dollars and am satisfied with the end result.
Clocking in at 956 pieces it certainly has lot's of bang for it's buck.

The Build

The End Result

It looks absolutely beautiful once assembled and makes a nice model when finished.

The interior is a bit saddening with no furnishings but it does include stairs to the second floor and a warm fireplace. Because of the lack of an interior the set is not very playable.

but it can be easily modded to include flooring and furniture. The windows use jumper plates to make them sink into the house giving a nice effect.

Overall this set is well worth the price of 60 USD. because of the great variety of pieces and the stunning finished product.

This is one of the best Creator houses so far - I managed to pick up 3 at K-Mart at the severely reduced price of $45 (Australian) each!

The house itself is an excellent addition to any city, and blends perfectly with 4996 Beach House and 5891 Apple Tree House. Using these 3 sets alone I've made a nice suburban street. (housing is something lacking from the current City line)

Don't know about the "playability" factor - with no furniture inside, but this is easily fixed with minimal pieces from your own collection.

The best thing about this set is the amount of pieces - there are endless possibilities for other sets using just the pieces in this set.
I've managed to make a Hotel, a medieval cottage (similar design to 10193 Medieval Market Village), and also use the excess pieces to add to sections of Hogwarts from Harry Potter, as well as donating some to a friend for an Egyptian tomb.

I don't think I've ever seen this amount of Tan pieces in one box before - including the Harry Potter sets (for some reason they all have the ground floor in dark/light grey... frustrating)

I know they've long been discontinued, but if you ever see one of these sets in a bargain bin or on sale, then buy it, the set and building possibilities are more than worth the price tag!
