Personally I really like that small house by the lake in rosewood. It's got convenient access to water for fishing, while still being at least somewhat close to town.
I really like the valley station bridge. It's quiet enough to be a safe place to build up, but also very close to a lot of good looting and action. Not to mention, the wrecked cars on the bridge offer a great source of training mechanics. There's a mechanic's shop really close by to the south, and with some luck, everything you need to get your first car up and running can be found here.
I'm also nostalgic for this settlement, as it's the first place I properly built up with my friends in MP.
I'm not that good at the game, I always tend to go back to my familiar newbie spot which is the Muldraugh warehouse in the north-eastern part, next to the road. There's a gas station nearby, it's easy to protect the upper floor and you can farm on the roof too. I once fortified a house slightly in the woods, not a lot of zombie activity but got kinda bored constantly driving back and forth to get there.
