What is the setting of The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides?

The story takes place in the early 1970s somewhere in the middle of the United States, in an unnamed suburb built next to a big city, which also remains nameless. The author, Jeffrey Eugenides, was raised in the state of Michigan, so we can safely assume that this is probably the state that served as a model for the fictional suburbia. The Virgin Suicides story spreads over 13 months. It begins in June and ends in July the following year. Suburbs from the 1970s were a collection of relatively new houses built according the same model of buildings and following a very simple and efficient urban plan.
