🏡 Homes & Heartlake Hangouts
A great Heartlake City hangout for bringing several Friends characters together. I like sets like this because they give the minidolls somewhere to meet, relax and create their own stories beyond the usual home or shop. #ad | Affiliate link | I may e...
A family home adds an important bit of everyday life to a LEGO Friends collection. I like the homely details here, especially if you’re building a bigger Heartlake City and want more than shops and vehicles.

A proper family home adds something different to a LEGO Friends collection compared with another shop or vehicle. I like the amount of everyday detail here, with plenty of scope for creating your own Heartlake City stories.

A beach house brings a completely different setting to Heartlake City, while the seals add some extra animal appeal. A good pick if you want your LEGO Friends collection to stretch beyond the usual city buildings.

Animals are a huge part of LEGO Friends, from pets and veterinary care to wildlife and animal adventures. These picks add plenty of four-legged and furry characters to Heartlake City. #ad | Affiliate link | I may earn a commission if you purchase thr...
A LEGO Friends vet clinic gives you an instant animal-care story, with a proper location for looking after pets. It’s a useful addition if animals are one of your favourite parts of the Friends theme.

The panda makes this one stand out, but I also like the animal-care and conservation theme. A good LEGO Friends choice if you prefer wildlife adventures over another Heartlake City building.

A pet shop gives the animals somewhere to visit and adds another everyday location to Heartlake City. I like this type of smaller LEGO Friends building for filling out a larger city layout.
Pet Accessories Shop 42650 | Friends | Buy online at the Official LEGO® Shop US
This mobile pet shop adds a bit more variety than another fixed LEGO Friends building. I like vehicles like this because you can move them around Heartlake City and create new scenes wherever they go.

A small LEGO Friends animal set built around one of the theme’s cutest characters. The puppy playground would make a nice addition to a larger pet area or animal-care scene.

Horses are a big part of LEGO Friends, and this set gives you a way to take them on the road. I like the combination of the horse and foal because it gives you more opportunities for animal-care and outdoor stories.

A LEGO Friends road-trip set gives the characters an easy excuse to leave Heartlake City and explore somewhere new. I like it as a smaller addition because the car works well alongside larger travel and holiday builds.

A camper van gives the Friends characters a home on wheels and opens up loads of camping and travel stories. It’s a good choice if you want to take your LEGO Friends collection beyond the city.

This is one of the more distinctive LEGO Friends shops, combining comics, gaming and a fun pop-culture feel. I like it because it gives Heartlake City something beyond the usual café, house or pet shop.

Combining a music shop with an apartment makes this LEGO Friends building feel like part of a real city. I like sets with more than one purpose because they give you extra ways to use the building in Heartlake City.

A colourful candy shop is an easy way to add more everyday life to a LEGO Friends city. I’d use this alongside homes and larger buildings to create a busier Heartlake City street.

This is the kind of small LEGO Friends scene that helps bring a city layout to life. Ice cream and balloons give the characters an obvious reason to stop, making it a nice detail between larger buildings.

An ice cream truck is a fun mobile addition to Heartlake City. I like smaller LEGO Friends vehicles because you can move them around your layout and create a different street scene whenever you want.

An indoor playground gives the Friends characters somewhere to meet, play and spend time together. I like it as a Heartlake City addition because it creates an activity rather than another building where nothing happens.

A bunny hotel is such a fun idea for a LEGO Friends set. It adds another small animal-focused location to Heartlake City without needing a huge build.
