Houston has nice modern mansions, with no zoning in the city it really allows for beautiful neighborhoods. Some houses are stucco, some are glass and concrete.

You did a nice job representing Cathedral Hill/Summit there. In fact, St. Paul is littered with neighborhoods with some very large, stately houses. I don't know what the technical definition of mansion is, but if you go up and down Edgecumbe Road, or in certain parts of Highland or even Como, you can find some pretty big houses.
I have this hairbrained theory that part of the reason that the population density in St. Paul is so much lower than in Minneapolis is because there are so many big houses on huge lawns. Although, Washburn-Fair Oaks in Minne has its share of mansions, as does Kenwood, near Minnehaha Falls and pretty much any neighborhood adjacent to the Chain-of-Lakes.
Modern definition of a mansion is 8k sq and up. Some older homes that were considered mansions in the past still do hold on to that designation even though the modern criteria has changed.
I forgot about So Florida. There are a ton of mansions between Palm Beach and Miami Beach but not so much variety. The overwelming majority are Mediterranean in style or ocasionally modern. L.A. has everything from colonial to tudor to modern to Mediterranean and every other style and also in huge quantities.
Here are some examples from my hometown, San Jose, CA. San Jose is often considered by many people to be the standard for boring suburban sprawl, but there actually are quite a few beautiful places to live in the city.
I know what you are saying, but its not that extreme. Do you have any pix?
Not personal. Yet there are tall buildings next to homes here.
