Monica and Rachel somehow managed to live in an enormous Manhattan apartment with purple walls and room for everybody to hang out. Jess Day found a loft with giant windows, exposed brick, and three roommates who made daily life considerably more complicated. TV apartments have always been suspiciously spacious, especially considering what their occupants do for a living. Still, it’s hard not to imagine moving into one. Some have beautiful views, others have incredible furniture, and a few are so comfortable that we’d happily overlook the people already living there. Sharing a bathroom with Sheldon Cooper might be exhausting, but that living room is awfully nice. Here are 15 TV apartments we’d gladly call home.
IMDbMonica and Rachel’s Purple Apartment, Friends
Between the enormous windows, purple walls, and mismatched furniture, Monica’s Greenwich Village apartment feels like somewhere you could actually relax. We’d even tolerate her cleaning schedule.
IMDbThe Industrial Loft, New Girl
Jess and the guys share a huge loft with wooden beams, giant windows, and enough living room space for an entire party. The roommates are another matter.
IMDbTed and Marshall’s Apartment Above the Bar, How I Met Your Mother
Ted’s apartment has a cozy living room, plenty of books, and a familiar red front door. Living directly above MacLaren’s makes going out almost ridiculously convenient.
IMDbFrasier Crane’s Seattle Apartment, Frasier
Frasier has enormous windows, a grand piano, expensive furniture, and a balcony overlooking Seattle. We’d happily keep Martin’s battered recliner if it meant living there.
IMDbWill Truman’s Upper West Side Apartment, Will & Grace
Will’s place has a fireplace, comfortable furniture, and enough room for Grace’s frequent visits. The apartment is lovely, although Jack would probably never leave.
IMDbKhadijah’s Brooklyn Apartment, Living Single
Khadijah shares a Brooklyn apartment with Synclaire, complete with warm colors, patterned furniture, and a living room that always seems to have space for the whole group.
IMDbAbbi and Ilana’s Chaotic Apartments, Broad City
Abbi’s apartment has the familiar charm of mismatched furniture and personal clutter. We’d take the room, although sharing space with her unpredictable roommate Bevers sounds exhausting.
IMDbMindy Lahiri’s Colorful New York Apartment, The Mindy Project
Mindy’s apartment is filled with bright colors, patterned wallpaper, and playful decorations. It looks like someone had a wonderful time buying furniture without checking the prices.
IMDbCharles’s Beautiful Arconia Apartment, Only Murders in the Building
Charles lives in a beautifully furnished apartment with blue cabinetry, colorful artwork, and vintage details. The Arconia itself is magnificent, provided you ignore its murder problem.
IMDbDon and Megan’s Manhattan Penthouse, Mad Men
Don and Megan’s apartment has sleek midcentury furniture, warm wood finishes, and a sunken living area. It’s a stunning place to live, even if dinner parties get complicated.
IMDbDev’s Cozy New York Apartment, Master of None
Dev’s apartment has a comfortable leather furniture and just enough room for friends to gather. The fireplace and natural light make it especially appealing.
IMDbJerry Seinfeld’s Surprisingly Comfortable Place, Seinfeld
Jerry’s apartment isn’t enormous, but the grey couch, open living area, and familiar kitchen make it feel comfortable. The main drawback is Kramer treating the front door as optional.
IMDbLeonard and Sheldon’s Pasadena Apartment, The Big Bang Theory
Their apartment has a roomy living area, colorful furniture, bookshelves, and plenty of geeky collectibles. Getting Sheldon to approve a new seating arrangement could take several meetings.
IMDbJune and Chloe’s Manhattan Apartment, Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23
June moves into Chloe’s stylish Manhattan apartment, where the furnishings look expensive and the roommate is completely unpredictable. We’d keep the apartment and establish some very firm boundaries.
IMDbSean’s Enormous New York Loft, Felicity
Sean’s loft has exposed brick, high ceilings, and more room than any struggling New York entrepreneur should reasonably afford. There’s even space for his questionable inventions.
