After World War II, American veterans came home, married, and had children, creating the "Baby Boom" in the United States. Lots and lots of houses were needed to accommodate the rising population, and entire suburban neighborhoods were built where the houses varied only slightly from each other. Even minor variations in detail only accentuated these similarities and made each neighborhood look hopelessly dull. The yards were also uniform, and one common tactic to make them look different was flipping the blueprint, as if having the garage on the left instead of the right would create visual interest. In fiction, especially animation and comics, the similarity will get ramped up: The houses, gardens, and cars will be identical. The lives of the residents may also be identical, or the point may be that their lives are different, even if their houses are the same. Such neighborhoods are sometimes called "Levittowns", named after William Levitt, who made several innovations and improvements in planned communities. To this day there are many American cities named (officially or unofficially) Levittown, and the presence of one in Puerto Rico shows how far Levitt's influence extended. Wikipedia uses the term "tract housing" because a whole line of houses are built at once, while recognizing the American and Canadian slang term "cookie-cutter housing". "Development" is a more general term, used when things beyond just the houses are planned out at the start. Often this includes more complicated street patterns, gated communities, and usually a little bit more variety in house design (but not by much). Similar communities exist throughout Great Britain and the rest of Europe, but the degree of conformity may differ. This is a common trait of the Stepford Suburbia.

The Russian film The Irony of Fate involves a man, having been put on a plane while drunk, ending up in an apartment in Leningrad all but identical to his Moscow apartment, even down to having the same lock on the door. As entire standardized districts of USSR show, the phenomenon of copy-and-paste housing is not limited to suburbs. | |

Inevitably the case in the City-Building Series, since housing has one or two models per level of evolution and they all have the same requirements to evolve. Having an area of housing all at the same level is actually beneficial since higher-level housing provides more space and taxes, and too strong a housing disparity affects your citizen's happiness. | |

ORPHANIMO!!: In the third album, we get to see the neighborhood where all the people that sold their house to Vallalkozo already ended up as part of the deal; every single house looks exactly the same without even the slightest difference. Hans, who is forced to accept a house here due to being fired (for this story at least), remarks what a poor quality the houses are. | |

The SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Squidville", where Squidward moves to a squid-only closed community called Tentacle Acres, where everyone lives in an Easter Island head, which is identical to his old home. | |

Lampshaded in Asterix. When in Britain, Asterix, Obelix, and Anticlimax walk down an endless row of absolutely identical houses, and Asterix says, "Good thing we have the house number. Its description might not have been enough." | |

Homer Price: In the story "Wheels of Progress" by Robert McCloskey, the local millionaire decides on a whim to build a new suburb for Centersburg. One hundred identical houses, with her mansion in the center. Hilarity Ensues when said mansion is moved away accidentally, and the hundred-and-first house put in its place. And it turns out the guy hired to put up the road signs got into the hooch buried under said mansion and has yet to start putting up the signs, leading to some serious confusion. | |

In the Schoolhouse Rock! short "Energy Blues", the sameness of the houses even extends to the identical puffs of smoke coming out of the chimneys. | |

The town of Perfection in UglyDolls has the citizens living in identical white houses with grey roofing. The symmetry nearly causes Babo, one of the Uglydolls, to have a panic attack. The visiting Uglydolls themselves are given a lopsided storage shed to stay in instead, something they find pleasant. | |

Dexter's Laboratory is set in one such suburb. Dexter's home is identical to the others on the outside since his laboratory is underground, but his neighbor and archnemesis Mandark has a massive above-ground lab that looms over his house. | |
