It looks nicer when taller houses are hugging the coastline. One suggestion would be to just have grand insulae along the coast while medium villas would be on the back road.
You could also try 2x2 plazas along the forced walker route. I’ve tried this before with small statues, fountains and oracles along the route. Coverage of prefects, engineers and schools would need double-checking.
I also like to dot a few 1x1 spaces with uniform-looking 1x1 medium insulae, if that’s something you want to experiment with.

Is this the same map with the plateau you shared the other day?

The 2x2 plaza is a nice touch. I was afraid it would break things, but seems stable so far
