Scott needs to win comment of the day with the ‘Calle de Caca’ comment.

It has that Montrose/Menil/Museum District look but the house across the street is what is puzzling. The lot and house could be Montrose. Or somewhere in the Heights or the Timbergrove Manor area. Definitely a nice neighborhood with nice older homes. Just something about that house. It doesn’t have the Rice Military feel. It’s either a free-standing townhome or an end unit. A narrow one so I go with an end unit. The little square windows have that
“M” look so I still like the letter M.

There appear to be curbs across the street which would knock out several neighborhoods.

I think I’ll go with the letter M.

I am so not into modern, but I have to admit that I like this place. Rice Military would have been my guess if 10 people hadn’t gotten to it first. I’ll say Jackson Hill or West End.

Another clue are those little square windows high up in that hallway leading to the living room.

Looks like a recently new townhouse, with somewhat modern looking furnitures. Probably somewhere between Montrose and the museum district area.

Actually this does look like one of the Caceres townhouses. The finishes, touches and quality of most everything in Caceres is top notch, but it all comes with a price… a big one. The one thing these Caceres townhouses seem to mostly have is a very stupidly laid out kitchen. That’s a nice high end stove, but putting the kitchen in a line makes no sense to me. It also ruins the ambiance of the kitchen. Why spend all of that money and then blow the deal on the kitchen layout? The houses in the subdivision are all really nice that I’ve seen. Personally, I’ll take Rice Military and my view of downtown for a fraction of the price. I’ll trade my crappy GE profile stove for that one any day though…. and I’ll run the plumbing for the pot filler.

Downtown, Midtown, inside loop6 seems to be the right location, but something tells me that it will be just to easy. Knowing Gus, I suspect some unexpected twist here :)

EaDo is a good guess…but I live in that area and you don’t see too many trees like that. But I could be wrong. I would also say somewhere north of I-10, Fifth Ward-ish area. Maybe.

Has anyone guessed EdDo yet? And what about just north of downtown, like Summer/Winter/Houston Streets?

This place is quite new and looks huge & out-of-place on its street, where it is haunted by the Ghost of Little Homes Past.
I’m sure I’d have to HATE IT even though it’s warm and livable on the inside.
There aren’t any children here. Also, the elec. bill is enormous due to all the halogen bulbs.
Off Quitman.

Crap. If this were in Rice Military or any of the other crowded townhouse communities, the neighbors would be in view. It’s probably a newly built free-standing townhouse, somewhere in the Heights area. But crap. Where in the Heights? North heights… Sunset Heights, Shady Acres… within a mile of 610, maybe even close to 45. Yes. That’s my guess.
