I review the properties of two nearby giant H II regions — 30 Doradus and NGC 604, and of two nearby young star complexes now past the H II region phase — Constellation III and NGC 206. I discuss the stellar populations, mode of star formation, gas content, and kinematics as clues to what conditions may be like in more distant starburst environments.
