I personally like homes that are near guard zones. I have never liked moongate spots or ones out in the middle of nowhere. Even though ppl tend to crowd shops around moongates I mostly hate them because red/blue/thief alike can use them. They can easily kill/steal from you and get away.
I would suggest looking around the outside of Moonglow as I think there were shops around there that have collapsed or are no longer there. I don't think there was anymore space around close to East Brit, but you could always check.
If I happen to come across anything that might look decent I will let you know.
I placed it east of the brit swamp because i got so fed up with the pickiness when placing a house. It's probably not the greatest spot and I might end up moving it.
