Typical directions to a county house: "We're the 4th (or 7th or 10th or 12th) house from the corner."

Typical directions to a city home: "We're the house with the stone front porch (or the house with the shutters and window boxes, or the house with the front chimney or the house with the stained glass front windows)."
