Where these TV show houses are today
There’s something weirdly satisfying about seeing where your favorite TV houses are now. Whether you grew up watching the Tanner family gather in the living room or knew every inch of Walter White’s Albuquerque home, those houses feel weirdly familiar. But when the cameras stop rolling, those iconic homes go back to being regular properties—owned, sold, remodeled, or even completely unrecognizable.
If you’ve ever paused a rerun and wondered who lives there now or whether you could drive by on your next trip, you’re not alone. Here’s a peek at where some of those well-known TV houses are today—and what they’ve been up to since going off-air.
The Full House Home – San Francisco, CA
The “Full House” exterior was filmed at 1709 Broderick Street, not actually part of the famous Painted Ladies lineup. It’s a private residence in a quiet San Francisco neighborhood. For a while, the home was owned by the show’s creator, Jeff Franklin, who had plans to turn it into a fan-friendly destination.
That didn’t go over well with the neighbors. After some pushback, Franklin sold the house in 2020 for around $5.35 million. It’s still a private residence today, and while you can walk by, don’t expect a tour or open house.
The Fresh Prince House – Brentwood, CA
The Banks family home isn’t in Bel-Air—it’s in Brentwood. The real address is 251 N Bristol Ave, Los Angeles. The exterior was used for shots in the original show, but all the interior scenes were filmed on a soundstage.
In 2020, the house made headlines when it was temporarily listed on Airbnb for a limited-time Fresh Prince-themed stay, decked out with memorabilia. Since then, it’s gone back to being a private luxury home, but it’s still one of the most recognizable drive-by spots in the area.
Breaking Bad House – Albuquerque, NM
The real house from Breaking Bad is located at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane in the show, but the actual address is 308 Negra Arroyo Lane is fictional—the real home is at 3828 Piermont Drive NE. It was used for exterior shots, including the infamous pizza-on-the-roof scene.
The real-life owner has had a rough go with fans showing up, throwing pizzas, and trying to peek in windows. These days, the house has a high fence and security cameras. Tour buses still roll by, but don’t expect a warm welcome at the door.
The Golden Girls House – Los Angeles, CA
Most fans think the Golden Girls house was in Miami, but the real one was located in Brentwood, Los Angeles. It was used for exterior shots during the first season before a replica was built at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida.
The original Brentwood home sold in 2020 for $4 million. It looks quite a bit different now—more updated, more neutral, and definitely not covered in 1980s flair. But it’s still standing and still quietly famous.
The Brady Bunch House – Studio City, CA
The Brady house is probably one of the most famous TV homes ever. Located at 11222 Dilling Street in Studio City, it looked nothing like the show inside—the interiors were filmed on a soundstage. HGTV bought the house in 2018 and gave it a full TV-ready makeover.
They recreated the show’s interior using original blueprints and lots of custom pieces. The renovation aired as a series called A Very Brady Renovation. In 2023, HGTV sold the house for $3.2 million—less than they paid, but it still draws plenty of attention.
The Sopranos House – North Caldwell, NJ
Tony Soprano’s house, with its long driveway and brick facade, is located at 14 Aspen Drive in North Caldwell, New Jersey. The real owners lived in it throughout the show’s run and beyond, keeping it pretty much the same as what you saw on screen.
In 2019, the home was listed for sale at $3.4 million. It hasn’t officially sold since then, but it remains one of the most famous homes in TV history—and you can see it clearly from the street.
The Friends Apartment – New York, NY
The exterior of Monica’s apartment is located at the corner of Bedford and Grove in Manhattan’s West Village. The actual building has a downstairs restaurant and no Central Perk in sight. And no, the inside doesn’t match the show—it was filmed on a soundstage in LA.
You can still visit and snap a photo from across the street. The apartment building is a regular residence now, but you’ll always find a few fans lingering on the corner for that perfect picture.
The Gilmore Girls House – Burbank, CA
The “Gilmore Girls” house you remember isn’t a real home—it’s a facade on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California. It’s part of their permanent backlot and has been used in other productions, too. If you’ve got a sharp eye, you might spot it in Pretty Little Liars.
You can visit the house through the Warner Bros. Studio Tour. It’s been left mostly intact, and they’ll even point out a few familiar Stars Hollow landmarks while you’re there.
The Roseanne House – Evansville, IN
Unlike a lot of other shows, Roseanne used a real house for exterior shots—and it’s located at 619 South Runnymeade Avenue in Evansville, Indiana. The show’s working-class setting matched the real neighborhood well.
The current owners have kept it fairly low-key. It looks a little more updated now, but it still resembles what you’d remember from the opening credits. You can’t tour it, but fans do occasionally stop by to snap a photo from the sidewalk.
The One Tree Hill House – Wilmington, NC
Lucas Scott’s house from One Tree Hill is located at 1829 Wrightsville Ave in Wilmington, North Carolina. The show filmed on location in the area, so many spots from the series—including the River Court and Karen’s Café—are real.
This house has become a bit of a fan destination. It’s a private residence now, but people still swing by to grab a photo or take part in local tours that cover filming locations. The show may be over, but the area hasn’t let go of its connection.
