Calgary. We live on the very outskirts of town in a community where the homes all look identical from the outside...it's a little Stepford Wives for my tastes but it's our situation for now
We are located about 30 minutes north west of Houston, Texas in the suburbs. We lived in downtown Houston for years and loved it, but needed a yard and more piece and quiet so we moved out of the city about 5 years ago.

I always sing the theme song from Weeds when we enter our neighborhood as everything is the same 4 houses rotated and the yards are all landscaped exactly the same. I love our neighbors but it definitely irritates me. I will say those houses on that show are much larger and nicer than ours, lol.
The next house we buy will have some acreage to it and not be in a cookie cutter neighborhood.

We live in a house in Monterey, California. Three blocks from the beach! It is the best place I've ever lived and I have the best housemate, my beautiful wife! Just want so badly to add an LO to our family.

Ha! That's too funny! Out here when they develope a neighbourhood you get a choice of say 4 floor plans, four exterior house colours, etc. Plus they will name a neighbourhood and all the stress will be something very similar. For example one of the neighbourhoods here is called Cranston, and the street names are all like Cranberry Green, Cranberry Grove, Cranberry Way, etc. It's creepy. We're renters (because the market here is WAY outside our budget) but when we do buy a home it will likely be in Nova Scotia, where M and I are both from. The homes there are not at all cookie cutter but we too are hoping we can live outside town a little with some land. We'll see - I often feel like I will never be able to buy a house.
We live in a canyon near the Hollywood sign but are looking to move to Pasadena or Alta Dena bc we have 2 dogs and will really need a yard by August when we become a family of three!
