Explanation and Analysis:

“The Veldt” is set in an unnamed suburb in the United States at some point in an imagined future. The entire story takes place within the Hadleys' high-tech “Happylife Home” that performs all sorts of domestic tasks, such as clothing its residents, making food, and automatically turning on and off lights as they walk through the house.
