'''Pleasantview''' is one of the three pre-made [[neighborhood#The Sims 2 neighborhoods|neighborhood]]s that ships with ''[[The Sims 2]]''. In theory, it is the [[Neighborhood 1|neighborhood]] from the original ''[[The Sims]]'' game 25 years later. It is also mentioned that [[Gunther Goth]] founded Pleasantview.
 
There are a total of 22 residential lots in Pleasantview, and there are another 12 houses in the [[Lots and Houses Binbin]]. Out of these 22 houses, there are at least three mansions. Three homes are trailers, and may or may not be part of a trailer park. (The game does not treat them as part of a trailer park, but players can.) Several more houses make up a series of condos. Finally, one house is an old shack in the woods. The houses in the housing bin can add further variety, offering a hacienda, a Tudor, a bungalow, and even a farmhouse.
 
Furthermore, there are six pre-made families already living in the neighborhood, and two more in the [[Familyfamily Binbin]]. For the families that start out moved-in, the median amount of family funds is around 1000 [[simoleonssimoleon]]s. Even a family with no significant income will generally have enough to pay one or two rounds of [[bill]]s.
 
<!--
It is likely that the name "Pleasantview" refers to the town called Pleasantville in the 1998 film ''[[Wikipedia:Pleasantville (film)|Pleasantville]]''. The towns' names are very similar, and two of the pre-made Sims in Pleasantview are named Mary-Sue and Jennifer; while in the movie, one of the main characters is named Jennifer, possibly associated with Jennifer Burb, and she took the name "Mary Sue" after being transported to Pleasantville. Also, some of the other pre-made Sims in the Pleasantview storyline are named Skip, Don, and Betty, which are some of the other main characters in the movie, though it's possible that both the game and the movie use these names because they are rather common names or nicknames. Pleasantview could also refer to a city in California called [[Wikipedia:Pleasanton, California|Pleasanton]] due to the water, which could be the [[Wikipedia:Sacramento River|Sacramento River]]. However, it is also the name of a neighborhood in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and a township in Michigan in the United States.

Pleasantview has many different districts and areas. When placing the water at the bottom of the screen, and viewing it as the water being the South, then: On the upper-left corner, there are some trailers. (The area is often interpreted as being a trailer park, but that's not necessarily the case.) Above the trailers is a wooded area with an isolated shack. In the upper-right corner, there is an area mostly made up of condos, and often called "The Condo Area" or "The Condo District". Around the western Main Street Area is the main commercial area, where the pre-made community lots can be found. Central and eastern Pleasantview contain large suburban houses. The only large house in western Pleasantview is the Pleasants' home. The south, by the water, is Wright Way, which contains the very large and fancy neighborhood (made up of only two unoccupied houses), though some include the Goths and Pleasants in this area.
