City Square

City Square 60097 is a large 2015 LEGO® City set built from several linked buildings rather than a single model. With 14 minifigures, it's one of the more crowded City sets of its era, ideal for scenes with plenty of characters at once. Its 1,683 pieces and 489 distinct parts give a lot of scope for detailing shopfronts, pavements and street furniture.

Description

A street built from separate modules

Rather than a single house or vehicle, 60097 is made up of several stand-alone buildings that combine into a small high street with shops, a café and other stops along the way. That modular layout was typical of the larger City sets from this period and suits anyone who wants to build a whole scene rather than one isolated model. Because each section stands on its own, the layout can be rearranged later or slotted in alongside other City sets, keeping the display flexible over time.

Room for a busy cast of characters

Fourteen minifigures is a generous number for a City set from this year, giving children enough characters to run several small storylines about shopping, working and getting around town at the same time. Combined with the separate buildings, that makes the set less of a static display piece and more of a stage for repeated play, where figures and locations can be mixed and matched in new ways each time it comes out.

A restrained, realistic colour scheme

Light bluish grey, black, white and dark bluish grey dominate the build, giving it the muted look of a real pavement and shopfront rather than the bolder palettes used in other LEGO themes. Working through the parts list on this page shows how much of that grey forms pavements and walls, leaving colour to do focused work on signs, window displays and smaller details. That restraint also makes the set easier to blend with other street-level builds.

A parts pool worth reusing

With 489 unique parts, this set is a solid source of windows, plates and facade pieces that go well beyond the finished model. Anyone who already owns other City sets can draw on these parts to extend or reshape their own street layout rather than starting from scratch. The full parts list on this page makes it easy to search by piece, colour or quantity instead of working through the whole set by eye.
