Remember all those houses and apartments you saw in TV shows and movies? Some of them are around and have attracted many fans from all over the world to come and visit these properties.
These properties, which range from apartment buildings to seemingly normal houses have been used in movie and TV productions. However, as these films and TV series ended, they left a mark on fans who now flock to these abodes found all over the United States.
5 Movie or TV Show Houses You Can Visit
While most TV shows and movies were filmed on a set in a studio, productions often use actual houses as the backdrop and often film scenes just outside of them. Here are real-life filming locations that were featured in movies and TV shows that you can actually visit.
The Amityville Horror (1975)
We are starting with perhaps the most famous haunted house in the United States, the Amityville Horror House from the 1975 film. 112 Ocean Ave, Amityville, NY 11701 is a very well-known house and still stands to this day. It is still being used as an abode, though it attracts tourists too.
It is best known for its haunting eye-shaped windows that scared viewers throughout the 70s, according to House Beautiful. However, it is often best not to visit this infamous "haunted house" alone...
Dexter
The apartment belonging to the serial killer who kills serial killers can be found in one of the Bay Harbor Club condos in Miami Beach. It still exists in Florida and has attracted fans from all over the world. According to List 25, it was featured in every single episode of the popular murder series. Unlike the one in Amityville, this one may come from a very dark show, but it can be very relaxing and sunny to visit.
Home Alone
The Home Alone house in Illinois still stands as one of the most iconic houses ever featured in movies as this was where Kevin McCallister made his hilarious and iconic defense against two bandits.
According to Home Bay, this iconic house can be found at 671 Lincoln Ave, Winnetka, IL, though there are actual people now living inside as it was bought for $1.585 million back in 2011. That did not stop tourists from visiting, though, as they still try to get their pictures taken in front of the home, If you plan on visiting this place, just remember to be very respectful of those living inside the house, as well as their neighbors.
