I think you're on the right track (no pun intended even though that one was highly appropriate) with the residential area. If it gets a bit congested towards the rear with houses, fences, trees, free-standing garages, back yard sheds, it will give to eye too much to digest before it realizes there's a backdrop there.
Revisit some of Steve's scenes, which I don't think have the depth that you do; the eye has so much to take in it never gets to the backdrop only a few inches beyond the scene's focal point!
With the depth you have, it should work to your advantage ...

Keep up the good work, there, Big Guy! It's coming along just fine, fine, super-fine!
