Larian could just set aside several different homes in different areas of the city as you suggested. Depending on which background the player chose would determine which home would belong to the player.
It would be better to have a new place to call home. This could be the same place for everyone, or we pick from a small number of options in different areas depending on what we like the most, not on our background. Nowhere in character creation does it tell us that we have to be from Baldur's Gate and it would be rather jarring to find out that we lived there in Act 2 when we spent all of Act 1 thinking we could be from somewhere else and picking the dialogue options without the Baldurian tag accordingly. Now if in character creation they change the description in all the backgrounds to indicate that we must all be from there (or near there I guess for Outlander?) then they could do the different homes in different areas, but I think that would be too much work when they could be doing other things.

I would rather they don't do much at all with the backgrounds since there are not nearly enough options and also people rp them differently. A guided tour option for everyone would be a good idea though, or maybe different quests that take us to all the different areas.
