Top 20 TV houses Americans want to live in

Would you swap where you live for your favorite TV home?

Half of Americans would trade their current living situation if it meant they could live in their favorite TV home, with houses from “Full House”, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “Golden Girls” the most envied.

That’s according to a new survey of 2,000 Americans which found 48% would give up where they live to enjoy some silver screen surroundings.

The Tanner family’s Victorian home from “Full House” topped the list of most-yearned-for homes — the four bed three bath San Francisco property itself was put up for sale in 2024 for a cool $6.5 million.

The survey was conducted by Talker Research on behalf of Travelbinger (https://travelbinger.com) and found many people would uproot and swap states or even move abroad if it meant living in their chosen TV home.

It’s perhaps easy to see why many would be happy to swap their current residence for the even less modest Banks’ mansion from “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, located in Los Angeles and the second-most desired TV home for Americans.

Rounding out the top three and proving these on-screen homes live long in the memory was the Miami home of Blanche Devereux of “The Golden Girls” fame, which concluded in 1992 but proves these homes and TV sets leave a long-lasting impression.

But while the chance to live in a likely multi-million dollar on-screen property graced by their favorite stars appeals to close to half of Americans, a large number would turn down the chance with 41% saying they’d actively stay put if the offer to swap residences came through.

Willingness to swap for a TV home decreases with age — 64 percent of Gen Z and 59% of millennials would say yes, but that lowers to 52% of Gen X and plummets to just 37% of boomers.

Other on-screen residences to make the top 20 included Monica’s apartment from “Friends”, the humble “Bridgerton” mansion and Tony Soprano’s New Jersey residence.

Some “Veep” fans would gladly swap and live in The White House, while “Sex and the City” star Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment and the penthouse of “Succession’s” Logan Roy also appeal.

More humbly, properties like the Byer’s cabin in “Stranger Things”, Walter White’s Albuquerque home from “Breaking Bad” and Jerry’s New York apartment in “Seinfeld” also made the list.
