How can you tell? There’s not a more homogenous place than Houston. Could be anywhere they build ugly McMansions…

One of the early West U replacements. Built in the early 80s, given the finishes and selections. Larger than the standard West U lot, despite the red brick boxes and colonial style windows being so close to the neighbors. (Evidenced by the trees and added green space for the typical 5,000 sq ft WU lot. Must be west of Buffalo Speedway.

There’s a city of West U. water bill on the kitchen counter…not really.

West U was my first guess but I’ll have to say Southgate being so late to the game.

The fact that that tree trunk is thicker than my wrist rules out 99% of Houston’s suburbs…

Had to Wiki the “Rhoda” comment - guess us young bucks weren’t around back then…sheesh. Does a floral couch like that count as “retro” yet or is it still just an eyesore? This house has got to be near Meyerland.

To me, it looks like a rehabbed house that might have been built in the ’80s, or even before. The staircase is a giveaway in my mind — no self-respecting faux-neo-Georgian would have a staircase that Rhoda might have walked down.

Oh, this isn’t a game of “guess the date?” Oops. I’ll go with West U., too.

Close neighbors, some small trees, brick facade, 2 car garage. I say new construction around Montrose.

I’m thinking far, far west Memorial. Like Eldridge & Memorial area, perhaps near Barker’s Landing.
