Those two views both look like they could be Anywhere, USA and Anywhere, Canada to me (at least at first sight and roughly speaking).
I'd give pic credits to the two SSP users who took these pics but not right now, in order to not spoil any guesses from people who want to try...

The pictures don't like like "anywhere Canada," though. In southern Ontario you get a lot of brick, and in some places you get a good amount of vinyl siding (which I hate), but there's hardly any wood siding here. And those fences/walls at the front of the property are foreign here. You don't get houses like that in Quebec, either.
That first picture looks like Buffalo, and the second one looks like Winnipeg. Though I'm waiting to be shown I'm wrong, as you can take photographs from certain angles to suggest contradictory things. The camera always lies, in other words. Though when placed in context of an entire photo thread you wouldn't be able to sustain the trickery!
