Who Are They Killing Off on Modern Family

Seeing Stars: Where the Movies Were Shot (on Location)

On the hit ABC sitcom, " MODERN Family ", they used 3 real houses
for the outside shots of the three family unit homes. All of them are on the
west side of Los Angeles, but in different upscale neighborhoods.

[ Warning : these are three individual homes. Practise not knock on their doors,
trespass on their property, or practise anything else that might disturb the residents . ]

Phil &Claire Dunphy'southward house can be institute at
10336 Dunleer Bulldoze , in Cheviot Hills .

(There is no Google StreetView for this house, only
here is a detailed article about the domicile, with photos.)

Jay &Gloria Pritchett'southward firm is in Brentwood ,
at 121 S . Cliffwood Avenue .

Here is a Google StreetView of their firm.

Mitch Dunphy & Cam Tucker's house is at
2211 Fox Hills Drive , near Century Metropolis .

Here is a Google StreetView of their house.

(It's about two miles n of Phil & Claire'south house,
and iv miles east of Jay & Gloria'southward.)

Most of the scenes on "Modernistic Family" have identify in and around the three family homes (or on the sets they congenital at 20th Century Pull a fast one on studio to duplicate the interiors those homes), merely they practise occasionally venture out for an on-location shoot, more often than you might think.

Looking back on the very showtime (pilot) episode, for instance,
in that location'southward a scene at a mall where xi-twelvemonth-former Manny tries in vain
to woo a xvi-twelvemonth-quondam girl who works at a photo kiosk in the mall.

Fortunately, I've been to that particular mall many times,
so I recognized it immediately.

This mall scene was shot inside the South Bay Galleria ,
located at the corner Artesia & Hawthorne Blvds , in Redondo Embankment .
(They are on the top (tertiary) flooring of the mall.)

Hither's a photo of that mall:

Here is a Google StreetView of the mall's exterior,
with the photographic camera looking southwest.

But allow'south talk about more recent on-location scenes.

Here are just a few examples of Modern Family on the road...

In Season 8, Episode nineteen, the family dresses up like Roaring 20's gangsters
to nourish the wedding ceremony of Phil's male parent.  There's a key scene where the family
stops at a gas station , still in costume, where an embarrassed Haley
meets up with 2 of her schoolmates.

You can scout that scene here .

When we showtime encounter them driving in that scene, in costume, riding in
a cerise 1920's-vintage convertible they are driving northward on Pico Blvd ,
just north of Overland Ave, in the 10600 block of Pico .

The gas station itself is a Unocal 76 station
at 11675 Due west. Pico Blvd ., in West Los Angeles .

That's at the North.E. corner of Pico Blvd & S. Barrington Ave.

Here is a Google StreetView
of the gas station.

One detail abroad-from-abode location has shown up in several different
episodes (including  Season eight, Episode fifteen).  It's the bowling alley
where Cam and Jay become league bowling.

You can picket that scene here .

Those bowling scenes were shot in the San Fernando Valley,
in an actual bowling alley, called Pinz Bowling Center ,
at 12655 Ventura Blvd , in Studio Urban center , CA .

Another location that they have used often on the show tin can be seen
in Season eight, Episode 3, where Cam coaches a football .

You lot can watch that scene hither .

This scene was shot on the football field of

Palisades Loftier School ,
at 15777 Bowdoin St , in the hills of Pacific Palisades .

They take used the high school for a number of other scenes.

If the schoolhouse looks familiar, you lot might take recognized it from the serial
"Teen Wolf", where information technology plays the regular role of "Buoy Hills Loftier  School".

Here is a Google StreetView
of the school's football field.

In Flavor vii, Episode sixteen, Mitchell and Cam try to teach Lily how to ride a cycle .
The scene is obviously shot at a park , just which one?

You can watch that scene here .

Yous would think that they would have stayed close to the studio and shot
this park scene at Cheviot Hills Recreation Center, where they have filmed before.
But no, they traveled all the way to Beverly Hills for this one.

Just granted, it is a very attractive park.

This was shot at Will Rogers Memorial Park ,
at 9650 Dusk Blvd , in Beverly Hills .

This park is right across Sunset from the Beverly Hills Hotel, and
was named later on Will Rogers, who was the honorary mayor of the city.

(Don't misfile this park with the much larger Will Rogers State Park in
Pacific Palisades, which was Will Roger's actual home/ranch.)

Hither is a Google StreetView
of Will Rogers park.

In Season vii, Episode 16, Claire attends a yoga grade where the sexy teacher
shows her a number of stimulating positions... much to Claire's secret  delight.

You can watch that scene hither .

This scene was filmed in an actual yoga studio,
Goorus Yoga, at 15327 West. Sunset Blvd,Los Angeles .

(That is only a block e of Palisades High School.)

Here is a Google StreetView
of the yoga studio.

In Flavor 6, Episode 23 , Phil tries to bosom into
an one-time cinema he helped to build:

You lot tin can watch that scene here .

In real life, this is the

Rialto theatre,
at 1023 Fair Oaks Ave , in South Pasadena ,

Here are a couple of photos I shot of the theatre dorsum in 1992:

(This theatre was seen in "The Player", in "Transformers",
and most recently, in "La La Land".)

Here is a Google StreetView of the theatre.

In Flavour 6, Episode 21 , Phil helps Jay move Lily's Princess Castle
domicile, considering Gloria insists on keeping information technology around.

  When Jay complains almost it, Phil takes it every bit a hint, and deliberately
drops the pink castle off the dorsum of their truck, into the route, where it
is immediately hit by a garbage truck and smashed into pieces.

Y'all tin can spotter that scene hither .

This scene was filmed with Jay'southward truck headed northeast
on Bluff Creek Bulldoze , in Playa del Rey .

(Playa del Rey is between Marina del Rey and LAX.)

The castle falls off the truck where that road meets South. Seabluff Bulldoze,
at approximately 12334 Bluff Creek Drive , in Playa del Rey .

Here is a Google StreetView of the street
where the castle falls off the truck.

In Season viii, Episode twenty, Phil and Jay invest together in a parking lot ,
so argue near who they should rent as a parking bellboy.

You can lookout this scene here .

Although this is a real parking lot, it's non a paid parking lot, and so they
had to bring in the prop barriers and toll berth, plus the signs, of class.

In the real world, this is a church parking lot, at
1236 South . Fairfax Ave , in west Los Angeles .

It is on the westward side of Fairfax, only due north of Pico Blvd.,
next to Korean Western Presbyterian Church of L.A.,
Just over a mile south of Farmers Market & The Grove.

Here is a Google StreetView of the lot.
