Iconic ‘Brady Bunch’ House in Los Angeles Officially Named Historic Landmark

LOS ANGELES — One of television’s most recognizable homes has received official recognition in Los Angeles. The house famously used as the exterior of the “Brady Bunch” family home has been designated a historic cultural monument by the Los Angeles City Council. The property, located in the San Fernando Valley, became widely known after appearing in the opening shots of the classic 1970s sitcom The Brady Bunch. Although most interior scenes were filmed on a Hollywood soundstage, the home’s exterior quickly became one of the most recognizable residences in American television history. City officials approved the designation after determining that the home holds significant cultural value tied to television history and popular culture. The new status helps ensure the property’s preservation for future generations. For decades, fans of the beloved show have traveled from across the country—and even around the world—to see the house in person. Visitors often stop by the quiet residential street to photograph the home, which closely resembles how it appeared during the original series. The property’s fame has only grown over time. In recent years, it was renovated and featured in a television project that recreated the interior spaces to match the look of the sitcom’s set, further cementing its place in pop culture history. The historic landmark designation highlights how television history has become part of Los Angeles’ cultural identity. From classic film studios to recognizable homes used in television shows, the city continues to preserve sites connected to its entertainment legacy. For newcomers and visitors alike, the Brady Bunch house remains a reminder of California’s deep ties to the entertainment industry—and the lasting impact a television show can have on American culture decades after it first aired.
