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

Steel Magnolias
It's hard to believe that it's been 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 milestone anniversary than grabbing your gal pals and spending a weekend in the beloved house turned bed and breakfast. Plan your visit here.

Full House
This beauty was featured in the opening credits of the family-friendly '90s TV show, Full House. 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, so be respectful.

A Christmas Story
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! Just like an Airbnb, but tied to an iconic pop culture relic. Plan your trip here.

10 Things I Hate About You
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.

Bird Box
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.

Amityville (1975)
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...

Boy Meets World
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.

Hocus Pocus
Tourists in Salem, Massachusetts, 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.

Breaking Bad
If you're still going through Breaking Bad withdrawals, I have 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?

Scream
Did you know that the isolated mansion where a bunch of high schoolers decide to party regardless of a killer on the lose—yes, that house—is on Airbnb? Well it is, and your dream to live like you're Sidney Prescott can finally come true. Although the '90s thriller may have been terrifying, the house and property it sits on is STUNNING. Bonus: You can even get married there.

Dexter
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.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Hey Potterheads, I've got some good news for you! You can visit the house that was used as the exterior shots of the home in the first HP. 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 for a tour.

Silence of the Lambs
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.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch
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.

The Holiday
When Kate Winslet's character comes from her small cottage in the UK and begins her stay at Cameron Diaz's LA mansion, you could tell she was a little starstuck—I would be too! 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 a rose garden. So yeah, I'd want to live there too.

Downton Abbey
Attention all Downton Abbey fans! You could 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.

Halloween
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.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
The home used for the exterior shots of the Banks' home was built roughly 70 years ago actually sits in nearby Brentwood, not Bel-Air. The 2-story, 17-room mansion is complete with with 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, 3,898 square feet of living space, a master suite with a massive walk-in closet, multiple fireplaces, a pool, a spa, a putting green, a detached 3-car garage, and a gazebo. But the real question is: Does Will Smith come with the house?? This a private residence, FYI, so don't trespass.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
The traditional Colonial where Ferris started his infamous day off may have been set in Chicago yet 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?

Groundhog Day
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.

The Notebook
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 5-bedroom, 4.5 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.

Home Alone
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.

A Star is Born
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 recently on the market for just over $2 million.

Mrs. Doubtfire
This iconic corner Victorian was the exterior setting for the 1993 classic where Robin Williams's 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.

Father of the Bride
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.

Twilight
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.

Hocus Pocus
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.

Top Gun
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.

Friends
The classic NYC show was mostly filmed on a set at Warner Brothers Studios in California, the exterior shots of their apartment building are of a real place in Greenwich Village in New York. While there is a little cafe below the apartment, it's unfortunately NOT named Central Perk.

Money Pit
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 8-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 was on the market for a cool $5.9 million.

The Odd Life of Timothy Green
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 & breakfast and even from the outside, you can see its southern charm.

Poltergeist
The 1982 thriller film set around the Freeling family used a real house on a quite 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 so if you choose to visit, just remember to be respectful.
4267 Roxbury St Simi Valley, CA 93063 - 36/41
Twilight
The home used for fictional Bella Swan's father's house recently went on the market—not in fictional Forks, Washington but in real-life St. Helens, Oregon. The residence held on to plenty of the features from its Twilight heyday, including Bella's green bedroom. If you plan to visit, watch out for the vampires and werewolves that like to hang around this place.

Sleepless in Seattle
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 4-bedroom, 2-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.

Breakfast at Tiffany's
Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's is truly one of the most iconic movies of all time. This apartment taught is 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.

The Brady Brunch
Okay, so technically this was mostly featured in the TV show, BUT it's the same house that was used in the film. This house is actually the second most-photographed in the US, 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.

Sex and The City
Yes, this is the apartment used in the TV show but it, like The Brady Bunch house, is also used in the Sex and the City movie. Fans know that Carrie Bradshaw's apartment was basically the fifth main character throughout the series run and into the first movie. Fans can always be spotted outside of her small-but-lovable apartment. It's gotten so much attention that the homeowners put up a chain blocking the stairs and a "no trespassing" sign, so please be respectful of their wishes, if you do walk by.
