The house of the Coleman Ettinger (Jason Robards) and his wife Gena (Piper Laurie), as seen from the front and also from the behind with New Hanover High School behind it. The alley that the gang wanders down throughout the movie is just behind the backyard.

At 13th and Princess, the other end of the block from Coleman’s house is where Leanie bikes back home from dance class at school, before then turning into Coleman’s front yard into the backyard. She is seen biking past these same three houses repeatedly (5 times, I counted), but from different angles to give the impression she is biking past several different houses.

A few times the parking lot for the New Hanover High School is used as the hangout spot for the boys.
