I was thinking that Diana Ross has three songs concerning property:

My Place
It's My House
This House

The Four Tops have:

7 Rooms Of Gloom
Macarthur Park

R Dean Taylor has:

There's A Ghost In My House

Just for some fun, can you name any more songs?

Shorty Long's "Function at the Junction" should qualify since I think the Junction was a place of business, not an intersection.

Can't believe no one mentioned "Keep Off, No Trespassing" by the Marvelettes!

Another Marvelettes title, "The Truth's Outside My Door."

My World Is Empty Without You -- "inside this cold and empty house I dwell..."
Love Child -- "started my life in an old, cold, rundown tenement slum..."
Blue Room -- "We'll have a blue room/A new room, for two room.../Not like a ball room/
A small room, a hall room.../Far away, upstairs..."

Well, Marvin was building that world in If I Could Build My Whole World Around You. However, David Ruffin's world ended in My Whole World Ended.
