Several suggestions:
1. A big deserted theme park like Disneyland. Abandoned attractions and rides, statues of cartoon and movie characters, and real mutants and monsters prowling in the shadows. Vending machines containing food are also common. Players can climb onto things like roller coasters or go into tunnels and mazes.
2. Hartsville Nuclear Plant in Tennessee. Like Chernobyl, but with an American atmosphere and items. Pizzas and hamburgers in refrigerators, American weapons, NPCs who speak with southern accents and act like cowboys in a wild, ruined world.
3. Venice, Italy as a PVP location. Beautiful but ruined buildings with canals filled with water everywhere. I don't know if characters will be able to swim, but if that is possible then there can be underwater locations. Otherwise, players may cross the water on bridges and floating rubbish, which become choke points where enemies set up ambushes.
4. A fictional walled city. Survivors have banded together to build a sturdy wall which can be defended against mutants. Inside, they have tried to rebuild a peaceful and normal life, with small farms, schools, hospitals, shops etc. Fighting between factions is not allowed inside and troublemakers are punished with execution or being thrown out. Players may be invaders trying to get in, defenders of the city, peacefully trying to rest or do business inside, or unravelling a conspiracy or mystery over the city's leader(s), who are secretly belonging to an evil or dangerous faction such as something like Monolith, slavers, or even intelligent mutants.
5. The International Space Station. Stalkers in SPAAAAACCEEEEEE!
