Seeing Stars: Where the Movies Were Shot (on Location)



PART  12

Filming locations of TV Shows,
Made-for-TV Movies & Music Videos.

The new ABC sitcom "THE NEIGHBORS", is about a family that finds
itself living in a neighborhood filled with aliens from another planet,
where the clueless inhabitants ride around in golf carts and have
names like 'Larry Bird' and 'Jackie Joyner-Kersee'.

Where is that quirky neighborhood in real life?

You'll find it in the North Hills section of Los Angeles
(in the northeast San Fernando Valley).

The alien family's blue home is at at 9220 Providence Lane, in North Hills.

And the human family's (The Weavers') brown home is at 9218 Providence Lane, in  North Hills.

However, this is a private townhouse/condo neighborhood, behind gates,
and as such the entire development maps to 9245 Noble Ave, in North Hills.

( It should be noted that in they filmed first/pilot episode in a different location.)

[ Remember: these are private homes. Do not trespass on their property,
knock on their doors, or do anything else that might disturb the residents. ]

Here's a good Google Aerial View of the houses.
And a Bing StreetSide view of a nearby street in the development.

Ever wonder where the "Murder House" from "AMERICAN HORROR STORY"
is really located?   It's not a studio set, and yes, it's actually in L.A.

You'll find it at 1120 Westchester Place, in central Los Angeles,
south of Hancock Park and north of the West Adams district.

[ Remember: this is a private home. Do not trespass on their property,
knock on their door, or do anything else that might disturb the residents. ]

Here's a good Google StreetView of the house.

If you've seen the Fox sitcom "NEW GIRL" (with Zoey Deschanel),
you've probably noticed the unusual apartment house where
Jess and her three guy friends live.

You'll find that brownstone building at 837 Traction Ave, in the
warehouse/arts district on the east side of downtown Los Angeles.

That's at the east/northeast corner of Traction Ave and Avery Street,
just east of Alameda, between 3rd & 4th streets - east of Little Tokyo.

Built in 1906, the building (like many in downtown) has been converted into lofts & offices.
They're called "Binford Lofts", and you can see a YouTube video tour of them here.

You can see for yourself in this Google StreetView panorama.
