AI imagines a typical home in Houston — with somewhat weird results
Artificial intelligence and the housing market are two hot-button topics in 2023. With that in mind, one home services provider has set out to determine what a "typical home" looks like in every state and in the nation's 30 most populated cities using an AI generator, and the results are ... interesting, to say the least.
For a typical Houston and Texas home, the AI chose a red brick, two-story home (familiar), but with a weirdly European roof and cobblestone front over the front entrance. At very least, the yard looks about right.
A tall, old oak tree snakes above the perfectly mowed front yard, with a stone path leading from the street to the steps of the porch. Several trees decorate the side and back yards, providing the essential shade every Texan craves in the hot summer months.

The AI-generated Houston home is predictably large with several front-facing windows.







All Star Home, who wrote the report, additionally pulled the median home value for each state and city that was included to determine how much each home could cost. Zillow says the average Texas home is worth $302,333 as of May 2023, so that's how much this Texas home could be worth.
The cities included in All Star Home's report are Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, and El Paso. Each idyllic home is unique, with only Dallas and Fort Worth sharing some German/European exterior features.
Zillow says the average Houston home is worth $265,733 in May 2023, so homeowners will have to judge whether the AI-generated home matches that number or if it's wildly off base.
