British suburbs

[Melody]

Given that we all know the house the Dursley's live and this question
is not really about the movie, I have a OT question.  :)

In the beginning of CoS there was a wide shot of the neighborhood the
Dursley's live in.  The houses were perfectly matching and went on
forever.  I was actually shocked and wondered...do y'all have suburbs
like that?  Are they full of the same house repeating over and over
all the same color all the same style?  How terribly depressing.  No
back yard.  Barely a front yard.  Is this normal for England?
