cookie-cutter house
Identical suburban dwelling
A cookie-cutter house is one of many nearly identical homes, typically in a subdivision where the same few floor plans repeat throughout the neighborhood.
The term is mildly disparaging, suggesting mass production and lack of character: They moved into one of those cookie-cutter houses where you can't tell yours from your neighbor's.
From the cookie cutter that stamps out uniform shapes.
