People are discussing the characters in a comedy show and one of them asks

> 高木ってとこじゃないの

From the context I'm guessing it means "You like Takagi, don't you?"

Again the dreaded って. Don't know if it means は or という here. とこ means "place",
and when I put it all together I get "It's not a place called Takagi"/"Takagi
is not a place". Arghh!!!

Meaning of nounってとこ
From
[Weblio類語辞書](http://thesaurus.weblio.jp/content/%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A6%E3%81%A8%E3%81%93%E3%81%A0):

> **ってとこだ**

From these definitions the literal sense could be rendered "It's at/about..."

  * 高木ってとこじゃないの？

Is it about(lit: "is (your mind) at") Takagi？

  * 値段相応ってとこかな

It's all about/at matching value to money

You are correct that it is a colloquial form of というところ. It doesn't literally
mean _place_ , but perhaps you can think of it as “in that _vicinity_ ”.

ってとこ is often used when you are pretty sure, but not exactly sure:

> Q: How heavy is that bag?  
>  A: 5kg **ってとこ** だ ( _I'd say 5kg_ )
>
> Q: Who do you think she has a crush on?  
>  A: 高木 **ってとこ** じゃないの？ ( _I bet it's Takagi, no?_ )
>
> Q: Why didn't he give me credit for my work?  
>  A: 自分だけほめられたい **ってとこ** だろう ( _He wants all the praise, or something like
> that._ )
