42 Houses From Movies and TV Shows You Can Actually Visit

Movie and TV show fanatics know the immediate thrill of seeing the house or apartment building that appears in their favorite flick or series. It takes that emotional connection to the fantasy world and brings it into a physical space, which is why no one should pass up the opportunity to visit their favorite movie or TV destination if they can. From spending a night in Ralphie's room from A Christmas Story to visiting the museum that is Bruce Wayne's mansion from The Dark Knight Rises, you’ll want to visit more than one of these iconic buildings from movies and TV shows.

Nestled near downtown L.A., the building used for the exterior shots of this Fox sitcom is actually a real-life apartment building you could rent, although I can't guarantee the roommates will be as fun.

It's hard to believe that it's been more than 30 years since M'Lynn, Shelby, Ouiser, and the rest of the ladies from Truvy's Beauty Shop first graced the big screen. And there's no better way to celebrate the iconic film than by grabbing your gal pals and spending a weekend in the beloved house turned bed and breakfast. Plan your visit here.

320 Jefferson St, Natchitoches, LA 71457

This beauty was featured in the opening credits of the family-friendly '90s TV show Full House, but you already knew that. The exterior used for the Tanner household sits in a row of homes called "The Painted Ladies." If you plan a visit, just remember it's a private residence. Be respectful!

1709 Broderick St., San Francisco, CA 94115

Nothing says Christmas spirit like (re)watching A Christmas Story on repeat, but now you can take your love of the movie to the next level. Not only can you go visit the house from the movie, but you can actually stay overnight in it—AND you could stay in Ralphie's room! It's just like an Airbnb but tied to an iconic pop culture relic. Plan your trip here.

3159 W 11th St, Cleveland, OH 44109

I'm sure you recognize this almost 6,000-square-foot home as the home from the 1999 rom-com/drama cult classic starring the late Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles. In 2018, the house went up on the market for $1.6 million. If you find yourself near Seattle and want to pay the home a visit, just remember it's a private residence and to be respectful.

2715 N Junett St., Tacoma, WA 98407

This home featured in the majority of the thriller is located in a suburb of Los Angeles and had film buffs flocking to the scene to see it in person during the height of its popularity. The owner says the home has been featured in three other movies over the last two decades as well.

304 N Canyon Blvd, Monrovia, CA 91016

The Amityville Horror house still stands to this day and honestly, it's a little hard to miss. While the eye-shaped windows featured in the film are gone, the house itself is still there as a private residence. I'm all for a nice road trip, but I'm just gonna let you go solo to this one...

112 Ocean Ave, Amityville, NY 11701

The Matthews' fictional home hit the market for more than $1.5 million back in 2016 and is still a private residence. In reality, it's a two-bedroom, two-bathroom spread ideal for any family. What I wouldn't give to be neighbors with Mr. Fenny!

4196 Colfax Ave, Studio City, CA 91604

Tourists in Salem, MA, might recognize the massive, white Colonial house with black shutters that sits at 318 Essex Street. It's Allison's house from Hocus Pocus, the 1993 Halloween flick that's now reached icon status and plays more than 20 times each October on ABC's Freeform channel. But while fans of the movie might already know that the house is real and not a Hollywood sound stage, they probably didn't know this: It's a museum, and you can visit it right now.

318 Essex St, Salem, MA 01970

If you're still going through Breaking Bad withdrawals, here's a fix: You could take a trip to New Mexico and see where the fictional White family lived. It's a private residence, so keep that in mind, okay?

3828 Piermont Dr. NE, Albuquerque, NM 87111

While most scenes of the hit drama were actually filmed in Long Beach, California, Dexter Morgan's sun-faded apartment complex exists in Southern Florida. In real life, they are the Bay Harbor Club condos in Miami Beach. It's a private residence that only members can enter, but drive east and you should be able to see the complex.

1155 103rd St (at Bay Harbor Club), Miami Beach, FL 33154

Hey Potterheads, you can visit the house that was used as the exterior shots for the home in the first Harry Potter movie. If you want to see the interiors from the movies—including that under-the-stairs "bedroom"—you'll have plan a trip to Warner Brothers Studios in the United Kingdom for a tour.

12 Picket Post Close, Winkfield Row, Bracknell RG12 9FG

The house featured in 1991 classic thriller where "Buffalo Bill" stalks Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) is actually located in rural Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh. And, in 2016, it sold for nearly $200,000. However, luckily for the new owner, the basement used in the movie was actually on a soundstage. The scariest part of this house? It has five bedrooms but only ONE bathroom. Talk about a horror.

8 Circle St. Layton, Perryopolis, Pennsylvania 15473

This one goes out to all my fellow '90s kids! We all remember the Spellman Manor, filled with doors leading to other worlds and the aunts we wish we all had—plus, the most important thing, Salem, the talking cat. These days, the home actually holds multiple businesses, so fans can feel free to take a peek inside as long as visits are kept brief and quiet.

64 E Main St., Freehold, NJ 07728

When Kate Winslet's character comes from her small cottage in the U.K. and begins her stay at Cameron Diaz's L.A. mansion, you could tell she was a little starstruck. This gorgeous 10,324-square-foot home became a tourist attraction for fans of the romantic movie. It features a media room in the finished basement, a pool and spa, paddle tennis court, and rose garden. So yeah, I'd want to live there too.

1883 Orlando Rd., San Marino, CA 91108

Attention all Downton Abbey fans! You can visit the primary filming location for the show and truly see what it feels like to be Lady Grantham. The grounds and select parts of the castle are open to the public between 60-70 days a year, so just be sure to plan your visit accordingly.

The home featured in the 1978 slasher film is now a South Pasadena Historic Landmark and an art gallery dedicated to the flick. That's right, you can now visit the residence—now painted baby blue and pale pink to give it a happier look—and get in some Halloween pop culture moments while you're at it.

1000 Mission St., South Pasadena, CA 91030

The home used for the exterior shots of the Banks' home was built roughly 70 years ago and actually sits in nearby Brentwood, not Bel-Air. The two-story, 17-room mansion is complete with with five bedrooms, four baths, 3,898 square feet of living space, a main suite with a massive walk-in closet, multiple fireplaces, a pool, spa, putting green, detached three-car garage, and gazebo. This a private residence, FYI, so don't trespass.

251 North Bristol Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90049

The traditional Colonial where Ferris started his infamous day off may have been set in Chicago, but it actually stands in Long Beach, California. The nearly 5,000 square foot home was used for interior shots in the movie as well as exterior shots. Who else painfully remembers that wallpapered staircase?

4160 Country Club Dr., Long Beach, CA 90807

In real life, like in the movie, the Victorian is actually a bed and breakfast, and you can stay there still! The Cherry Tree Inn bed and breakfast sits in Woodstock, Illinois not Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. The spectacular house is worth a stay if you find yourself in that suburb of Chicago.

344 Fremont St, Woodstock, IL 60098

While I'd love to think Ryan Gosling actually did renovate the house for the movie, filmmakers chose to take the already beautiful Martins Point home and make it look dilapidated for the early "before" scenes. This gorgeous five-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom estate spans 4,255 square feet is just one of 18 homes on Martins Point Plantation, a 900-acre private waterfront community. Noah's house would cost approximately $12,000/month to rent today—according to an estimate experts at ForRent.com gave Domino. So there's that. Plan your trip here.

204 Martins Point Rd., Wadmalaw Island, SC 29487

I think it's safe to say that every '90s kid wanted to have their turn in Kevin McAllister's sprawling house. That staircase, along with the rest of the home featured in the movie, is located on a quiet, tree-lined street outside of Chicago. Although you can't take a tour of the inside (I'd like to imagine it's still covered in wallpaper), you can see the exterior in person on a tour. Plan your tour here.

671 Lincoln Ave, Winnetka, IL 60093

Fans think they have found Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga's secluded rockstar hideaway and that it might actually be a four-bed, three-bath home in rural Calabasas. While no one from the cast or crew has confirmed the news, I'll be the first to say that this home looks identical to the one shown in the film. From the art studio to the barbecue area, I can see why it was on the market for just over $2 million.

481 Cold Canyon Rd, Calabasas, CA 91302

This iconic corner Victorian was the exterior setting for the 1993 classic where Robin Williams' character pretended to be a British nanny just to nab more time with his kids. However, after Williams' passing, the steps on the corner have become so much more of an attraction, as people left tributes to the late actor there. In 2016, the house was sold for $4 million. Plan your trip here.

2640 Steiner St., San Francisco, CA 94115

Did you know that Steve Martin's house in Father of the Bride is actually a private residence in Pasadena, California? Movie buffs can drive past the home and imagine the wedding happening in the backyard.

843 S El Molino Ave, Pasadena, CA 91106

Let's be honest, the Cullens' house was just (if not more) as attractive/incredible/mysterious as the Cullen family. Because the house was built on a slope, it has that “floating among trees” illusion. Although you can only see the residence from the street, it does not disappoint.

3333 NW Quimby St, Portland, OR 97210

I think we all coveted the loft area Max had in his bedroom. But what you don't realize in the movie is that the house is actually right on the water and has gorgeous views. Fans can drive by the home in Salem, Massachusetts, to see for themselves. Just be sure to be quiet and respectful, though, since this is a privately owned home.

3 Ocean Ave, Salem, MA 01970

This charming little 500-square-foot cottage was the set where Maverick, played by Tom Cruise, waited on the porch after he's late for dinner with Charlie. The house even has large photos from the movie on the exterior of it. Fans can easily grab a snap of the home.

102 N Pacific St, Oceanside, CA 92054

90 Bedford St, New York, NY 10014

While Tom Hanks and his briefcase are no where to be found on this property, the 1986 film starring Hanks and Shelley Long used this incredible eight-bedroom home for the exterior shots of Money Pit. While the movie portrays the house as the ultimate fixer-upper catastrophe, this home was actually owned by a 1952 gold metal Olympian. Most recently, this private residence sold for $3.5 million.

199 Feeks Lane, Locust Valley, NY 11560

One glance at this stunning property and it's easy to see why it was chosen as the home of Jennifer Garner's fictional family in the Disney film The Odd Life of Timothy Green. At the time of filming, it was a bed and breakfast. Even from the outside, you can see its southern charm.

155 Greenville St, Newnan, GA 30263

The traditional brick home where Molly Ringwald's character, Sam, dreaded her 16th birthday sits on a tree-lined street in a suburb just 30 minutes outside of Chicago. It has been on and off the market over the past few years but sold for more than $1 million in 2018.

3022 Payne St, Evanston, IL 60201

The 1982 thriller film set around the Freeling family used a real house on a quiet street in California. Today, the house looks almost identical to when it was used in the movie. Not surprisingly, the house gets quite a few visitors. If you choose to visit, just remember to be respectful.

4267 Roxbury St, Simi Valley, CA 93063

The home used for fictional Bella Swan's father's house is a private residence—not in fictional Forks, Washington, but in real-life St. Helens, Oregon. The building held on to plenty of the features from its Twilight heyday, including Bella's green bedroom.

184 S 6th St, St Helens, OR 97051

The home used for the exterior shots of the Conner house is actually a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Indiana with nearly 2,000 square feet of living space. This home was listed in 2013 for $129,000. Because this is a private residence, remember to be respectful of the owners.

619 S Runnymeade Ave, Evansville, IN 47714

While Tom Hanks doesn't *actually* live there, fans of the '90s classic can still visit the houseboat used in the movie. It's actually a stunning four-bedroom, two-bathroom and sold for more than $2 million back in 2014. Just be sure to be quiet and respectful, though, since this is a privately owned home.

2460 Westlake Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109

Starring Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly, Breakfast at Tiffany's is truly one of the most iconic movies of all time. This apartment taught us that having a large living room to throw glamorous parties in is wildly important. While you can't go inside of the building, you can just imagine her floating down the stair with utter grace.

169 E 71st St, New York, NY 10021

This house is actually the second most-photographed in the U.S., right behind The White House. This property is now being renovated as part of an HGTV special. See more cool facts about the house here.

Fans know that Carrie Bradshaw's apartment was basically the fifth main character throughout the series' run and into the first movie.

66 Perry St, New York, NY 10014

266 St Margaret St, Charleston, SC 29403

Don't we all dream of having a massive estate as grand as Wayne Manor?
