Thank you. I like going overkill on parks and decoration and covering the entire map with my city.

I'm sure you will get a better answer but the loop is too big. 15 houses on the inner is too long, make it 10. The original poster does say he is a noob.
In addition the music and acrobat schools can be outside the loop and that will give extra space for houses.
Actually to allow even more space for housing, the market could be placed just outside the loop with a gate giving access for the market sellers into the loop but you might prefer this design.

@Serrataur,
About the music and acrobat schools, I never put them in a housing block. However, I did put the market inside the housing loop though. I will follow your advise and put the market outside. Well, if I cut it down to 10 houses on the inner, I will lose 14/15 (maybe more) houses from inner and outer. I'm trying to find the best housing block that only need one of each service buildings and not 2 of each. So far, I can do C-Housing block which contains 55 common houses. Thanks to XfStef from youtube. All I'm saying is that I want the Walkers to complete the whole loop so all the houses get the services.

Well you could make the loop one house longer and allow the randomness of the walkers to take care of the loop but some (Herbalist and Acupunturist) will not complete the circuit so a house may devolve occasionally. Place other service buildings at the opposite end, where they turn round, to minimise the distance of the houses from Herb/Acu.

@Serrataur,
Thanks for the advise XD! I have to build two Herbalist and Acupunturist stalls in order to have the housing block to have full service. In my opinion, 30-tiles for Herbalist and Acupunturist isn't enough to maximized a full housing block especially if you want to build more than 54 houses (by the way, the C-Housing block isn't 55 common houses, it 54). Even the C-Housing block, both of these (Herbalist and Acupunturist) guys will not complete the loop but I find a way to get them to service all the houses in that block, without completing the loop.

Hey guys,
I wondered if anybody had some of MarvL templates for house blocking, since his website is dead. Or the square block from Yang Yin Jyubei. It's really too bad some of the user posted blocks are now lost, there are little chances to get them back online...
