The kitchen, which played a pivotal role in many intense scenes, features modern appliances and a minimalist design. The walls of the kitchen are painted a deep brown color, and there is cabinetry along one wall. It’s here that Walter White concocted his infamous blue methamphetamine. Walter White’s house is located in Albuquerque’s quiet and unassuming neighborhood.

At the beginning of the first season, Skyler and Walt Junior pressure Walt to fix the water heater. They are surprised when Walt installs a new heater instead of fixing the old one, despite not (yet) having much money. While installing the new heater, Walt discovers the house has extensive wood rot around its lower walls and foundations.

People like this will lash out with even the slightest provocation. Based on everything I’ve seen with my own eyes when visiting, and in a lot of videos and online reports, the homeowner seems like the type of person who enjoys confrontation. In case you’re not familiar, that is a beautiful cobblestone alley that blew up in popularity fairly recently and it gets flooded with tourists. However, some people lived there before it became popular and I truly do feel sympathy for those people because they did nothing to bring about the craziness. While you probably have a legal right to walk on the sidewalk in front of the house, just as a matter of respect I would remain on the opposite side of the street.

"Everyone was so familiar with it that we knew we didn’t need a lot," Freeborn notes. You could argue that Walter White became a power-obsessed drug dealer because he needed money. Thanks in part to being cut out of the multi-billion dollar company he helped create, Walt suffered from a chronic inferiority complex. This unassuming suburban house, boasting approximately 2,300 square feet, was purchased by Walter White in the series for a reasonable $134,000.

Walter is impressed by the monetary returns from the meth operation, and Hank offers to take him as a ride-along to a DEA bust. The next day, Walter faints at the car wash and is taken to a hospital; there, he is told he has inoperable lung cancer and will likely die within the next two years. During the ride-along, Hank busts a crystal meth lab, taking cook Emilio Koyama (John Koyama) into custody. Walter sees Emilio's partner fleeing the scene, and realizes it is one of his former students, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul).

The Herbert and Kitty Pritzlaff House, Joshua Tree Street, Palm Desert CA. Built on the site of the Pritzlaff's 1947 Cliff May-designed home, which was destroyed in 1949 in a fire. The Claude S. Voile House, Joshua Tree Street, Palm Desert CA. Sold in 1951 to Robert Crooker who added a bath and swimming pool. The Esther Breedlove House and Studio, Avenida Obregon, La Quinta CA.

Each one, in its own way, echoes the gravitational pull of the Walter White address, turning these areas into tourist attractions. Walt buries his money in seven barrels on the Tohajiilee Indian Reservation and convinces Jesse to go into a relocation program. While waiting to be picked up, Jesse figures out that Walt poisoned Brock. Hank approaches Jesse and offers to help bring down Walt. With Hank's help, Jesse lures Walt into a trap by claiming to have found his money.

The Sandia Mountains in particular, ubiquitous in the Albuquerque landscape, are a problem. A brief reflection, however, encourages him to set Breaking Bad on location in the state of New Mexico. The scouting allowed us to select a particular house to house Walter White and his family. The latter is very happy to rent her home for the needs of the production, even preferring to move to give the technicians and actors all the space they need to work. While on the topic of iconic locations, let’s not forget Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles, our favourite hangout spot in Jackie Brown, or the Sierra Canyon School, the backdrop to the teen drama series, “All American”.

Believing the house might collapse on itself, Walt ends up removing the rot all throughout the day and into the night. He also creates a trapdoor to the crawl space by the water heater. The famous meth lab of the no less hallucinatory series may not hold many barrels, but still, it’s full of it.

The constant influx of Breaking Bad fans became too much for the homeowners to handle, so they ultimately decided to install a 6-foot-high, wrought-iron fence around the yard. The real-life home where Breaking Bad was filmed has a much less controversial and eventful history. Eventually, Heisenberg’s actions catch up to him, when brother-in-law Hank realizes that Walter is the meth kingpin he’s been after (while sitting on Walter’s toilet, might we add). The answer comes later in the show when we witness a flashback to the time Walter and Skyler first laid eyes on the house. Not too shabby, if you think about the dire financial condition that the White family finds itself in during the first few episodes of the show. The Breaking Bad house is a reflection of quintessential American living.

With the DEA skeptical and Hank being unable to drive due to his condition, he enlists Walt's help in the investigation as a driver and tracker. Walt attempts to sabotage the investigation, but Gus blames him for drawing the attention of the authorities. Seeing they need a new distributor to sell the large quantity of product they have remaining, Saul arranges a meeting at a local restaurant with a mysterious meth kingpin. Jesse shows up for the meeting high on drugs, and leaves when the kingpin does not show. Walt realizes that the restaurant owner, Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) was the man they were supposed to meet. Under questioning by Walt, Gus explains that he was observing the pair, and refuses to work with them because Jesse is a drug addict.

During their initial questioning, they bring in Marie, who is bitter at Saul for enabling Walter and leading to Hank's death. Walt is briefly mentioned in passing by Saul Goodman (now going by the alias Gene Takavic) as he attempts to explain to Jeff how crazy his life had become and how much money he could get by getting into "the game". In the present, Jesse, Skinny Pete, and Badger see various news reports on the aftermath of Walt's massacre. After Brock recovers, Jesse learns that the boy had likely been poisoned by accidentally eating lily of the valley berries, not ricin. Walt responds that killing Gus was still the right thing to do.

It ends at the Pacific Ocean, at a place called Stearns Wharf. This is a great place to spend the afternoon for some chowder or a sunset drink and appetizers at one of the many restaurants located on the pier. On the weekends, the beach walk is lined with arts and crafts vendors all along Cabrillo Boulevard. After checking out several houses, I returned to the first place I stepped into. You may have heard his name from the recent auction of his “Wave House” during Modernism Week. As the curtain falls on our exploration, we marvel at the sheer power of storytelling.

This elegant property, built in 1941, features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and over 3,500 square feet of living space on a 0.28-acre lot. Walter White, portrayed by Bryan Cranston, was a high school chemistry teacher who turned to a life of crime to secure his family’s financial future after being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. This character’s transformation from a mild-mannered educator to a notorious drug lord adds an extra layer of intrigue to the house where it all began. Meanwhile, Skyler buys the car wash where Walt used to work and uses it to launder his drug money. Evidence from Gale's murder leads Hank to suspect that Gus is involved in the blue meth business.

Despite the benefits of using a real house, such as being able to capture authentic, convincing shots, there were also certain drawbacks. TV shows are not always filmed in the actual locations where they take place, but "Breaking Bad," which is set in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was actually filmed mostly in Albuquerque. Of course, filming in the actual location of the setting helps with the show's authenticity. Every place comes with certain drawbacks, from the weather to the expenses to the crowds.
