Real Chase House

Although the story is set in the fictional suburb "Three Rivers" of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the house and street used for exterior shots is actually in Pasadena, California which is about 10 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles.

The Floor Plan 

This is the floor plan of the house originally used. It differs in many details from the soundstage model.

The second floor has changed completely. Angela's room is even on the other side of the house. Of course the bathroom isn't that big in reality. There could be one or two more rooms but we've never seen that part of the house in the pilot episode. And remember, these floor maps are drawn just based on screenshots from the aired episodes and most likely not to scale.

Exterior images

These pictures were taken around 1997 in Pasadena. The house has been renovated and looks a bit different. One of the big trees in front of the house has disappeared. The house has now new owners.
