===The Brady house===
The house built in 1959, by Harry M. Londelius Jr., and used in exterior shots, is located in [[Studio City, Los Angeles|Studio City]], within the city limits of Los Angeles. It originally bore little relation to the interior of the Bradys' on-screen home, but was gutted and renovated in 2018 to match the layout of the soundstage sets.<!-- Please do not insert the address of the house, to respect to the current owners' privacy.--> According to a 1994 article in the ''Los Angeles Times'', the [[San Fernando Valley]] house was built in 1959 and selected as the Brady residence because series creator Schwartz felt it looked like a home where an architect would live.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Here's the story of the Brady Bunch house |url=http://davidbrady.com/times/latbrady.html |access-date=August 11, 2010 |website=Davidbrady.com}}</ref> A false window was attached to the front's [[A-frame house|A-frame]] section to give the illusion that it had two full stories (the 2018/19 renovation installed a real window where the false one was in the TV show footage).<ref>{{cite book |last=Alleman |first=Richard |title=Hollywood: The Movie Lover's Guide: The Ultimate Insider Tour of Movie L.A. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OPRKEpwjfLQC&q=brady+bunch |publisher=Broadway Books |location=New York |date=March 6, 2013 |isbn=978-0-8041-3777-5 |pages=427–428 |url-access=subscription}}</ref> Contemporary establishing shots of the house were filmed with the owner's permission for the 1990 TV series ''[[The Bradys]]''. The owner refused to allow Paramount to restore the property to its 1969 look for ''[[The Brady Bunch Movie]]'' in 1995, so a [[facade]] resembling the original home was built around an existing house.{{citation needed|date=July 2018}}

The house was put up for sale, for the first time since 1973, in the summer of 2018 with an asking price of $1.885 million.<ref>{{cite news |last=O'Kane |first=Caitlin |date=July 19, 2018 |title=Iconic "Brady Bunch" house for sale after nearly 50 years |work=[[CBS News]] |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/iconic-brady-bunch-house-for-sale-after-nearly-50-years/ |access-date=July 19, 2018}}</ref> Cable network [[HGTV]] outbid seven others for it, including [[NSYNC]]'s [[Lance Bass]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Rao |first=Sonia |date=August 7, 2018 |title=It turns out HGTV outbid Lance Bass for the 'Brady Bunch' house |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2018/08/07/it-turns-out-hgtv-outbid-lance-bass-for-the-brady-bunch-house/ |access-date=August 8, 2018}}</ref> HGTV has expanded the home for its original series ''[[A Very Brady Renovation]]'', with the goal of recreating each of the interior rooms used in the TV series (which had only existed as a Paramount Studios set) while maintaining the original exterior look from the street, and to make it fully habitable (unlike the sets made on Paramount soundstage #5). The six actors who played the TV children, and who also actively participated in the 2018/19 renovation, posed for a photo in front on November 1 the same year.<ref>{{cite news |date=November 1, 2018 |title='Brady Bunch' cast members reunite at TV family home |newspaper=[[Winston-Salem Journal]] |agency=[[Associated Press]] |url=https://www.journalnow.com/news/trending/brady-bunch-cast-members-reunite-at-tv-family-home/article_d5027d07-fad8-5f89-9dc9-f99ac945cd6c.html |url-status=dead |access-date=September 10, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181102195954/https://www.journalnow.com/news/trending/brady-bunch-cast-members-reunite-at-tv-family-home/article_d5027d07-fad8-5f89-9dc9-f99ac945cd6c.html |archive-date=November 2, 2018}}</ref> In May 2023, it was announced that HGTV was selling the house for $5.5 million.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hgtv.com/shows/hgtv-stars/articles/hgtvs-brady-bunch-home-is-for-sale|title=You Can Live in HGTV's 'Very Brady' House — for $5.5 Million|publisher=[[HGTV]]|date=May 24, 2023|access-date=May 26, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=O'Connell|first1=Mikey|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/hgtv-selling-brady-bunch-house-renovations-pictures-1235499038/|title=HGTV Flips 'Brady Bunch' House, Lists It for $5.5M (Exclusive)|publisher=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|date=May 24, 2023|access-date=May 26, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Fine|first1=Camille|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/americasmarkets/2023/05/25/brady-bunch-house-listing-hgtv/70256338007/|title=The 'Brady Bunch' house is listed for sale and resembles the sitcom after HGTV renovation|publisher=[[USA Today]]|date=May 25, 2023|access-date=May 26, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Valdez|first1=Jonah|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2023-05-26/hgtv-is-selling-brady-bunch-house-5-5-million-studio-city|title=The 'Brady Bunch' house is renovated and restored, and HGTV has it on sale for $5.5 million|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=May 26, 2023|access-date=May 26, 2023}}</ref> The house was bought on September 11, 2023 by media executive Tina Trahan, the wife of former [[HBO]] chief executive [[Chris Albrecht]] and a longtime fan of the show, for $3.2 million.

In the series, the address of the house was given as 4222 Clinton Way (as read aloud by Carol from an arriving package in the first-season episode entitled "Lost Locket, Found Locket", and "Clinton Way" is clearly legible on Marcia's driver permit in the fifth-season episode "The Driver's Seat").<ref>{{cite book |last=McHugh |first=Erin |title=Where? |publisher=Sterling Publishing |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IzGYzUX8jq0C&q=brady+bunch |year=2005 |isbn=978-1-4027-2572-2 |page=54}}</ref> Although no city was ever specified, it was presumed from references to the [[Los Angeles Dodgers]], the [[Los Angeles Rams]], and a [[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood]] film studio, among many others, that the Bradys lived in [[Southern California]], most likely Los Angeles or one of its suburbs. Episode 5: My Sister, Benedict Arnold, has Sheri Cowart, who played Kathy Lawrence doing a cheer implying Greg and Marcia went to Fillmore Junior High. This school, known more formally as, "Fillmore Middle School" would probably imply the Brady family lived in Fillmore California.  <ref>{{cite book |last=Mansour |first=David |title=From Abba to Zoom: A Pop Culture Encyclopedia of the Late 20th Century |publisher=Andrews McMeel |page=54 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7GN0E_diWbAC&q=brady+bunch |date=June 1, 2011 |isbn=978-0-7407-9307-3}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Terrace |first=Vincent |title=Encyclopedia of Television: Series, Pilots and Specials 1974–1984 |publisher=VNR AG |year=1985 |isbn=978-0-9184-3261-2 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AKlgjBCPPnsC&q=brady&pg=PA3 |volume=2 |page=63}}</ref>

The interior sets of the Brady house were used at least three times for other Paramount TV shows while ''The Brady Bunch'' was still in production: twice for ''[[Mannix]]'' and once for ''[[Mission: Impossible (1966 TV series)|Mission: Impossible]]''. In the case of ''Mission: Impossible'', the Brady furniture was also used.<ref>Mannix – season three, episode 19 – "Who is Sylvia?"</ref><ref>Mannix – season four, episode two – "One for the Lady"</ref><ref>Mission: Impossible – season six, episode 20 – "Double Dead"</ref> A re-creation of the Brady house was constructed for the ''[[The X-Files|X-Files]]'' episode "[[Sunshine Days]]", which also revolved around ''The Brady Bunch''.
