Sweeeeet street view. Always reminds me of Michael Jordan’s house/street in Space Jam.
I love Pasadena. With its colonials and gambrels, those neighborhoods do feel like an old Northeast or Midwest railroad suburb. Then it quickly transitions to Bungalow Heaven, an ode to the West/Northwest.
While Elgin, Illinois can be seen as totally Chicagoland, I think it could also fit in somewhere North of Detroit with a similar size and feel to Pontiac, Michigan
Burr Ridge right outside of Chicago reminds me of the North Atlanta suburbs with the hilliness and big mansions. People think all of Chicagoland is pancake flat but there's some topography in the burbs.

I'd still say the Atlanta area still is more hilly, than anywhere in the Chicago area. That said, I forgot Burr Ridge is as hilly as that, in a few parts. This reminds me of how hilly some areas are in the further out southwest suburban parts of St. Louis, i.e. near Eureka, MO.
Are you saying the more distant parts feel more like MA or just that they aren't in Metro Boston so they shouldn't feel like it anyway?
Manchester isn't really distant it's an hour from Boston on I-93 without traffic. It's just about the same distance from Boston (city hall to city hall) as Providence. It's fair to say Providence is a little closer since Boston city hall is on the north side of the city, but they are relatively equidistant.
Nashua to mee feels like MA. It could just be any other similar size mill city in MA just doing a little better than most and considerably worse than the nicest ones. Manchester doesn't feel that different to me either, it pretty much comparable to Lowell, MA in a lot of ways. The main difference is that it's the biggest city in the state, which is a big difference for sure. I think it would still fit in among the MA gateway cities way better than say, Portland Maine
Btownboss is right as most people in S. NH live there precisely because it is not Massachusetts. Its place many people move to from MA to escape MA politics/culture.
Irvine feels like it should be a Bay Area suburb. Outside of Hollywood, SoCal is largely blue collar, small business, slow-paced, and Hispanic. Irvine, however, is very Asian (especially Chinese/Taiwanese and Korean), highly educated, corporate, and fast-paced, with a lot of tech, finance, and pharma, just like the Bay Area.
I'd say Irvine would be like a posh East Bay burb like San Ramon, as Irvine has virtually zero homeless and I'd believe San Ramon also doesn't.
Just in the Buckhead neighborhoods alone, you can see houses/areas where it feels like it could be the Southwest, west, midwest, northeast, etc. Some of the houses/places can be seen if you click through the various neighborhoods here: https://www.buckhead.com/neighborhoods/
Madison, AL as prestigious as it is to me feels like it belongs to Nashville more than an Alabama city.
Madison or Huntsville just don’t seem to be a part of Alabama, period!!
