From the adorable town square to holiday decorations, festivals, and, of course, Luke's diner, it makes sense that Gilmore Girls fans wish that Stars Hollow was their home. It's a beautiful, seemingly flawless small town, and Rory and Lorelai live a happy, cozy life here.
While the version of the small-town life that is shown on Gilmore Girls seems idyllic, fans can see the pros and cons to living here, and they have many opinions about the beloved setting on this popular series. From talking about the town's love for Rory to the residents, fans are sharing their thoughts on Stars Hollow on Reddit.
10 Fans Love The Vibe And Atmosphere
When responding to a Reddit thread about whether it would be good or bad to live in Stars Hollow, Reddit user ManaCeratonia says the town has a great vibe. They wrote that fans should "just enjoy the atmosphere, the nature, and the twinkly lights and don't worry about the drama."
Many Gilmore Girls fans enjoy how cute Stars Hollow looks, with its small downtown, charming stores and restaurants, and cozy homes. The festivals in Gilmore Girls Stars Hollow also contribute to the overall positive atmosphere that viewers really like.
9 It's Possible Rory Is Too Comfortable In Stars Hollow
According to Reddit user johnny_9ss, it seems like Stars Hollow is Rory's comfort zone, and she has a hard time when she moves away. They wonder if Rory is "sheltered" and wrote "as soon as Rory leaves that sheltered world and starts living in the real word, she seems to have problems adjusting to life outside."
Several viewers agree that the townspeople adore Rory and seem to think that she never does anything wrong. It's definitely a fair point that when she gets older, she starts to fall apart, and it seems partly because of the place where she grows up.
8 The Residents Have Wonderful Quirks
Reddit user Booyah_7 is a fan of the small town in Gilmore Girls thanks to the residents. The fan wrote, "I dream of living in Stars Hollow! I would love to be around all of those quirky, loving, fun folks."
It would be fun to hang out with Babette, Miss Patty, Kirk, Gypsy, and some of the other townspeople, as they all have unique personalities. They also love where they live and love helping out with festivals and other events, which is sweet. It's thanks to these distinct characters that Stars Hollow is so memorable.
7 There's Not Much For Teenagers
Reddit user petitcraque can see that from Jess's POV, Stars Hollow isn't a great town to live in. They wrote that Jess had to move to "a small - seemingly boring - town and now has to hang out with adult strangers with whom he had nothing in common."
This is an interesting point because, while fans enjoy looking at charming Stars Hollow, it might feel very different to live there during high school. If someone doesn't want to volunteer during the festivals or wants to explore some new interests, it might feel a little small and devoid of opportunity.
6 It's A Walkable, Charming Town
Reddit user chain_shift enjoys how everyone can walk around Stars Hollow. The fan explained, "-spatially, it's a compact, walkable town with an identifiable focal-point center. The townspeople do have cars, but mostly seem to get around on foot. This, of course, is very useful for plotpoints involving spontaneous run-ins. While obviously a bit dramatized for the purposes of a show, it is true that walkable places do encourage serendipitous social interaction."
Of all the small towns shown on TV, Stars Hollow does stand out for being easy to walk around. Lorelai and Rory are often shown leaving Luke's diner and going to other places, and this does make the town look like a nice home.
5 There Must Be Other Smart Teens, Not Just Rory
Reddit user Scarlett1516 finds it "bizarre" that the town loves Rory so much and acts "as though there are no teenagers that are polite and do well in school."
Fans see how Gilmore Girls' Rory is treated as a favorite Stars Hollow resident, and it's fair to wonder what the other high schoolers are like. When Rory is shown at Stars Hollow High at the beginning of the show, she's the only student working on the assignment, while her bored classmates gossip. But, it would be good to see that there are other young residents who like school and want to do well.
4 Fans Want To Go To Luke's Diner
Reddit user pendalmight posted"I want to live in Stars Hollow" and continued with "I want to wake up and go drink coffee at Luke's Diner."
When thinking about this Gilmore Girls location, many would agree that Luke's Diner is a huge selling point. There is something so heartwarming about going there and every morning and grabbing some coffee. It would also be nice to talk to the other customers and feel all warm and cozy before starting the day.
3 There Might Be A Lack Of Privacy
A Reddit user and Gilmore Girls fan posted "I am curious if people would like to live in this little town with all of their quirky characters and business?" From their POV, "I imagine it being very socially demanding, plus zero privacy."
Of all the confusing parts of Gilmore Girls' Stars Hollow, viewers wonder if it would be possible to live life without having neighbors and townspeople know too many personal details. For some, this is part of small-town living and no big deal, but others might want to have more privacy.
2 Taylor Makes Stars Hollow As Great As It Is
Reddit user energeticstarfish shared that while Taylor could be a frustrating character, he made sure that the tourism industry in Stars Hollow did well. The fan wrote, "he worked really hard to create and maintain that perfect American small-town aesthetic."
While Taylor might not always be the most popular character, he does love where he lives, and he does get involved in town decisions. From wondering about what the rules should be to starting an old-fashioned ice cream shop, he does make Stars Hollow fun.
1 The Stars Hollow Musical Is Confusing
Reddit user mauvaisfoie doesn't understand why the Stars Hollow musical is part of the revival. The fan wrote that it doesn't make sense to focus so much on this performance when the revival could talk more about Lorelai and Rory.
Fans have many thoughts about Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life, and some feel that the musical is an odd storytelling choice. Of all the great things to love about Stars Hollow, this likely isn't one of them, and many viewers would have preferred if the revival focused on other characters, instead.
