===Setting and location===
[[File:Archie Bunker House 01.JPG|thumbnail|The house featured in the opening credits sequence, as it appeared in late 2013]]
Lear and his writers set the series in the Queens neighborhood of [[Astoria, Queens|Astoria]]. The location of the Bunkers' house at 704 Hauser Street is fictitious. No Hauser Street exists in Queens. The address is not presented the way addresses are given in Queens: most address numbers are hyphenated, identifying the number of the nearest cross street. Nevertheless, many episodes reveal that the Bunkers live near the major thoroughfare [[New York State Route 25A|Northern Boulevard]], which was the location of Kelsey's Bar and later Archie Bunker's Place.<ref>{{cite web |last=Berman |first=Marc |title='All In The Family' Turns 50 |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/marcberman1/2021/01/12/all-in-the-family-turns-50/?sh=11d89a4354aa |website=Forbes |access-date=October 24, 2022 |language=en}}</ref>

The exterior of the house shown at the show closing is a home located at 89-70 Cooper Avenue, [[Glendale, Queens]], New York, across from [[St. John Cemetery (Queens)|St. John Cemetery]] ({{coord|40.712492|-73.860784}}).<ref name=fewer>{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/03/nyregion/fewer-fans-visit-all-in-the-family-tv-home.html?ref=todayspaper| first=Vivian| last=Yee| title=Stifled by Time's Passage, Fewer Fans Visit the Bunkers' TV Home| newspaper=The New York Times| date=June 2, 2013| page=A16| access-date=February 26, 2017| archive-date=November 9, 2016| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161109024011/http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/03/nyregion/fewer-fans-visit-all-in-the-family-tv-home.html?ref=todayspaper| url-status=live}}</ref>

Many real Queens institutions are mentioned throughout the series. Carroll O'Connor, a Queens native from [[Forest Hills, Queens|Forest Hills]], said in an interview with the [[Archive of American Television]] that he suggested to the writers many of the locations to give the series authenticity. For example, Archie is said to have attended [[Flushing High School]], a real school in [[Flushing, Queens]], although in the "Man of the Year" episode of ''Archie Bunker's Place'', Archie attended [[William Cullen Bryant High School|Bryant High School]] in nearby Long Island City. As another example, the 1976 episode "The Baby Contest" deals with Archie entering baby Joey in a cutest-baby contest sponsored by the ''[[Long Island Daily Press]]'', a then-operating local newspaper in Queens and Long Island.<ref>{{cite web |title=Carroll O'Connor Interview |url=https://interviews.televisionacademy.com/interviews/carroll-oconnor |website=Television Academy Interviews |access-date=October 24, 2022 |language=en |date=October 22, 2017}}</ref>

The writers of ''All in the Family'' continued throughout the series to have the Bunkers and other characters use [[telephone exchange names]] when giving a telephone number. Most other series at the time, such as ''The Mary Tyler Moore Show'', were using the standard fictitious [[555 (telephone number)#Fictional usage|555 telephone exchange]] at a time when the [[Bell System]] was trying to discontinue them. At different times throughout the series, the exchanges ''Ravenswood'' and [[Bayside, Queens|''Bayside'']]—both valid in the area—were used for the Bunkers' telephone number. Actual residents of the Bunkers' age continued using exchange names into the early 1980s, which is referred to in the 1979 episode "The Appendectomy", in which Edith gets confused between the two versions of a number she is dialing.
