Too big, and too much natural light to be Camp Logan. It’s over-sized and hideous, so it could definitely be in Sugar Land. My vote is Greatwood.

I agree that there are a plethora of generic homes in the loop; however, this house majorly predates the current de-construction lameness trend of Bellaire/West U/etc.etc.

It’s definitely outside Hwy 6/1960 and from the late 80s. Since it looks like it’s been on the market a while, I’m guessing it was one of the first new nice houses in a neighborhood that later filled up with cheaper homes, so these folks saw their value erode. Could be parts of Katy, Champions, Sugarland, etc. So many to choose from so I’m going out there and saying Mission Bend or some other neighborhood in the no-zone between SugarLand and Katy.

More: the ceilings are really low for a new house - can’t figure that out. maybe it’s an 80s. the hardware is new dark oil rubbed bronze but the doorknobs are old, silver - don’t match, means a redo. why are they ceilings so low in the back? berber carpet upstairs, another 80s or early 90s the iron stair rail though - that’s new. this is really confusing because why is the ceiling so low in the back room? it looks like 8′ or maybe 9′ - a new house would be 10 at least. ok, i’m keeping at 59 south, but I really don’t know!

fugggly! no furniture! Gus - no fair!
ok this house really could be anywhere. It’s early 90s - I’m going to say the flooring is a new update as are all the new ceiling fans. the master bath though is still stuck in the original condition. what’s with the carpet in the dining room? and why leave those plates? red brick with detached garage, don’t see any golf course. hmmmm. couldn’t be Bellaire - you just did that a few weeks ago. I will say it’s a suburb and I have not idea where - though someone said the energy corridor, that could be right. I just don’t know. ok, I’ll say a suburb out 59 south for lack of a better idea! Red brick - so 90s.

That ground floor is so gaudy that I really want to say Royal Oaks, but the house is too old. The black anodized metal windows and plastic “crystal” bathroom faucet handles point to a late 1980s construction date.

I’m going to guess Sugarland or Bellaire.

Def say a mid 80s house that has been recently updated. For a flip, maybe? Semi high end kitchen appliances. Why, oh why, does someone put a commercial stove/grill in a kitchen, with no hood? Have fun cooking on that bad boy. Hope you like smoke.

Classic 80s bathroom. Could easily be inside the Loop. Will have to think some more about this.

I know this, it’s the house of teh Fresh Prince of Bellaire…

On a serious note, I think it’s some kinda golf course housing development too… I’m going with Conroe!

Was marble also radon emitting? Somebody should get a geiger counter on those floors…
