You'll find it at 26885 Chaucer Place, in Stevenson Ranch, CA. Stevenson Ranch is
a master-planned community in the Santa Clarita area, (The neighborhood was also seen in the 1998 movie "Pleasantville".) Here is an aerial photo of the house. Here is a map link. And here is a Google
StreetView
panorama of the house. Warning: This
is a private home.
Do not trespass on their property,
Now lets examine the opening credits, scene by scene...
What we see is the map of a very real suburb. But ironically, it's not the same suburb where you'll find Nancy's house. This is actually the
city of Calabasas,
California. To be more precise,
the widest street, at the top, is Parkway Calabasas,
while the Here's an actual
aerial
map of that suburb.
Next, we see the entrance
to the fictional community of Agrestic, The name may be fake, but that sign/fountain is very real. You'll find it at the
west/northwest corner of ( Yes, we're back to
the neighborhood with Nancy's home. These opening And as you might expect, the sign really reads "Stevenson Ranch", not "Agrestic". Here is an aerial photo of the fountain/sign. Here is a map view. And here is a matching
Google StreetView
panorama.
That shot was filmed
in Rioux Memorial Park, (It's west of that Agrestic sign, and east of Nancy's house.) The full official name
is Dr. Richard H. Rioux Memorial Park, The doctor ran the

photo of the park. And here's a map

Next, we look down on a suburban street, where the houses have red-tile roofs. This is the intersection of Kavenaugh Lane & Singer Place, in Stevenson Ranch The camera is looking northeast up Singer Place. (That shot is quickly
followed by a similar view, which - not surprisingly - was shot just Here is an aerial photo of both locations. And here's a Google
StreetView
panorama matching that first shot.

center named Creekside Village,
just south (I think the camera is looking southwest, at the northeast side of the shop.) Here's an aerial
photo of the shop. And here's a map
link.
But this time the houses are a little fancier than the ones we've seen before. Not surprisingly, they
didn't shoot this one at Stevenson Ranch - Instead, they shot
it at yet another location in Calabasas:
that (The camera appears to be looking south/southwest.) It's about a mile north
of the coffee shop, and about four miles Here's an aerial
photo of that intersection. And here's a map
link.
This was shot in the same neighborhood as the mini-van shot. In fact, it's on the
same main street, Mont Calabasas Drive, (The camera is again looking southwest.) Here is an aerial photo. And here is a map link. .
