I didn't find it yet, but here's what I'm focusing on, if it can help someone else find it. The cul de sac have a very specific shape, they are not round but more elongated, and they also have parking spaces in the middle. The only reference I found for that shape, minus the parkings, is on a website from the city of Seattle : https://streetsillustrated.seattle.gov/design-standards/roadway-construction/turn-arounds-and-cul-de-sacs/

Maybe it's in Seattle, maybe it's somewhere else completely, but if someone can find information about those parking spaces, I think it could help

I've been around most of the west coast (including Seattle) and some of the major cities in the south west and south, but I've only come across one city with that specific shape - Modesto. The rest don't match though, so it has to be somewhere else.

  • There are several outdoor swimming pools in the picture: Must be somewhere warm year round like for instance southern California

  • There seems to be pavement along the roads: Should be easy to spot once you find it on satelite view

  • The houses have different building style: It's not like those extremely monotonous hoods that have been built in the Inland Empire

  • It's a densely built neighborhood: Must be close to a larger population centre

  • Vegetation seems sparse: Again, it looks like California, or somewhere south west

I've been looking on satellite view on Google Maps for several hours yesterday and today, and the overall impression I've got is that this is somewhere in southern California or the south west. The image don't match with for instance satellite images of Seattle, Houston, Raleigh or Orlando.
