Small, tidy, and no longer the beginner town it used to be.

About Rosewood
Rosewood is the smallest of the four default spawn towns, a neat grid of two-storey houses with detached garages sitting below the Kentucky State Prison. For years it was the standard recommendation for a first run. Build 42 changed that: zombies were redistributed onto Main Street and around the fire station, and the forest that used to soak them up was thinned out.
Treat it as a medium town now rather than a soft one. The houses loot well and the garages are generous, but the loot to zombie ratio is below average, and axe maintenance is harsher in Build 42, so a fight you would have won before can leave you without a weapon. Rosewood is still one of only two default spawns with both a fire station and a police station.
