A few weeks back while I was out stalking the Californication house, Mike (from MovieShotsLA) and I set out on a mission to find Kelly Taylor’”‘”‘s house from the new 90210 series.
I had been searching for the house for quite some time and on this particular day I called Mike at work (poor guy!) and said “We are going to find that house today!” I’”‘”‘m nothing if not determined! Mike and I knew the house was located in Venice from
, and since I was already in the area, I realized it was now or never! I was not leaving Venice without finding that house. 🙂
Kelly’”‘”‘s house has appeared on
quite a few times, beginning with the pilot episode. And each time it appears, a plaque with the numbers “2229” is clearly visible in the background. But neither Mike nor I could seem to find any area in Venice with house numbers in the 2200 range. We found blocks with addresses of 2100, 2300, and 2400, but for some reason 2200 was nowhere to be found. Mike had become convinced that the “2229” sign was just a prop added to the house for filming, but I held out hope. Something told me that sign was really there.
Since Google Street View does not cover the Venice area, I acted as Mike’”‘”‘s eyes and ears driving around Venice while he sat in front of his computer at work looking at aerial maps. LOL My boyfriend always says how amazing it is that Mike and I managed to find each other. I mean who else in their right mind would do this stuff with me?? LOL Anyway, after driving around for a while I was just about ready to give up hope. Then all of sudden, an idea struck Mike and he told me to head to Glyndon Avenue. He had remembered working once in a quaint little section of Venice and thought it might be the area where Kelly’”‘”‘s house was located. So, using my trusty GPS, I drove over to Glyndon Avenue and sure enough, there was the house – “2229” sign and all. See, you should always trust a woman’”‘”‘s intuition! 🙂
Many episodes of
were filmed at the actual Venice Beach house and I also believe that some interior filming took place there, as well. This is apparent in both the pilot episode, in which fellow teacher Ryan stops by Kelly’”‘”‘s house, flowers in hand . . .
. . . and the episode entitled “Secrets and Lies” in which Silver’”‘”‘s house party gets slightly out of hand.
Kelly’”‘”‘s house is very cute and very picturesque in person. In fact, it is just the type of house I would expect to find a grown-up Kelly Taylor living in. Especially since she is so obviously still carrying a torch for Dylan and this house is so reminiscent of
. 🙂 I absolutely loved stalking Kelly’”‘”‘s house. In fact, driving around Venice that day while talking to Mike on the phone will always be one of my fondest stalking memories! Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂
: Kelly Taylor’”‘”‘s house is located at 2229 Glyndon Avenue in Venice.
