I will mention that while the Seattle pictures are pretty typical for a large section of north Seattle, I wouldn't call them signature or exclusive by any means. They do give a good flavor for the large section of craftsman houses that make up a lot of the inner neighborhoods.
Good thread. The houses shown represent a pretty good neighborhood in St. Louis. Maybe not the best of the best but fairly representative of what the middle class can afford. The other city depictions are great as well. I didn't realize how unique New Orleans's facades were. They look like miniature southern plantation homes and are really fascinating.
That pic of Landsdowne Ave in STL is not one of the more flattering blocks. There are many more interesting, dense and beautiful streets than that one.

I did look around more and found some really nice blocks that happened to be on the north side. I'm assuming you're referring to streets like these:
But I believe the first link attempts to showcase some of the stuff you see in this link. For the second link, if you keep going along Landsdowne, you see a variety of different housing. The surrounding yards also give that roomy feeling that is common in other residential neighborhoods, but at the same time, maintains architectural variety, some trees and hints of urbanity compared to some of the outer neighborhoods. Basically, I would still keep the second link because it showcases a lot more in terms of diverse architecture and space that St. Louis has to offer (imo).
I think you did a pretty good job of finding some decent areas. Some of the really really really nice areas in St. Louis unfortunately are blocked off from street view because they are on private streets but here are some homes that I would consider some of the most attractive in our city:
Fountain Park: http://goo.gl/maps/gltpB
Note that this neighborhood different from the others in that it is DEEP in what people would consider "The Hood" around here and the homes are dirt cheap. One of the homes shown on street view is currently for sale for $4 thousand dollars.
Delmar Ave in the city is usually the dividing line between the haves and have nots around here. The same home could literally be worth 100 times more if it is located one block south of that street compared to one block north.
It gives a strong reminder of the awesome architecture we can bring back with some good investment and more population in the area.
