Thanksgiving movies don’t always get the same hype as Christmas classics, but they’ve given us some of the most memorable homes on screen — the places where chaos unfolds, relatives collide, pies burn, and someone inevitably ends up carving the turkey badly.
And since half the fun of these movies is low-key judging the interiors (and imagining what they’d go for in today’s market), it only felt right to give these iconic homes the full real-estate-listing treatment.
Since films and Thanksgiving TV show specials give us sprawling Colonials, dysfunctional dining rooms, cramped walk-ups, and kitchens that witness generational trauma, we’ve had more than plenty to work with; so we imagined what these famous homes would look like if they hit Zillow today.
Consider this your unofficial peak-season open house tour — without the broker-babble, the cinnamon-pumpkin candle overkill, or the sudden shift in energy that happens when someone suggests a friendly round of Thanksgiving poker to keep the night lively.
Below, a few of the biggest Thanksgiving-movie homes — reimagined as if they were hitting Zillow this week.
Neal Page’s Colonial in ‘Planes, Trains and Automobiles’
Estimated price today: $1.9M–$2.3M
Where it “would” be: North Shore Chicago suburb (in spirit)
Listing-style description:
Spacious 5-bedroom Colonial with classic suburban curb appeal and a floor plan designed for hosting — assuming your guests actually make it home. Features include a center-hall staircase, a formal dining room big enough for a turkey-day meltdown, and a cozy family room ideal for decompressing after a 700-mile commute gone wrong. Detached garage fits two cars or one very stubborn travel companion.
Real-life counterpart: The real house from Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a six-bedroom Colonial located in Kenilworth, Illinois, and was recently listed for sale in 2024 asking $2.6 million. And while it does bear a resemblance to the iconic Home Alone house, Steve Martin’s inviting home in the 1987 classic is not the same property as the McCallister house.
The Larson house in ‘Home for the Holidays’
Estimated price today: $350K–$450K
Where it “would” be: Baltimore suburbs (the film’s intended setting)
Listing-style description:
Warm and lived-in 4-bedroom with 1950s charm, multiple gathering spaces, and a dining room that has seen things. Classic mid-Atlantic architecture with original wood floors, a nostalgic kitchen, and a family-room setup perfect for emotional blowouts or last-minute gravy disasters. Backyard includes plenty of space for siblings who need to “take a walk and cool off.”
April’s cramped walk-up in ‘Pieces of April’
Estimated price today: $650K+ (because New York)
Where it “would” be: Lower East Side
Listing-style description:
Sun-filled prewar apartment with one bedroom, one bathroom, and approximately zero counter space — but tons of heart. Located in a vibrant neighborhood with endless dining options, ideal for those who might need a backup plan when the oven gives up mid-meal.
Original brick walls, quirky layout, and the kind of character Zillow commenters dream about. Building includes friendly neighbors who may or may not lend you a working stove.
Kathleen Kelly’s apartment in ‘You’ve Got Mail’ (honorary Thanksgiving pick because fall vibes reign supreme)
Estimated price today: $2.8M–$4.5M each
Where it “would” be: Upper West Side, Manhattan
Listing-style description:
Classic prewar charm meets book-lover fantasy. High ceilings, oversized windows, and the kind of cozy fall energy that practically demands sweaters, roasted chestnuts, and Nora Ephron dialogue.
Rooms are generously sized, with hardwood floors, built-ins, and the perfect living-room window for watching leaves fall while contemplating major life decisions.
Real-life counterpart:
A lovely brownstone at 328 West 89th Street and Riverside Drive in Manhattan, New York, served as filming location for Kathleen’s You’ve Got Mail apartment.
The Baker apartment in ‘Hannah and Her Sisters’ (Woody Allen’s Thanksgiving anchor film)
Estimated price today: $4M–$7M
Where it “would” be: Upper West Side or Central Park West
Listing-style description:
Spacious, art-filled prewar apartment with massive rooms, soaring ceilings, crown molding, and a dining room made for elaborate holiday spreads. Multiple sitting areas, gallery walls, and classic Manhattan elegance. Perfect for hosting extended family, philosophical debates, and at least one major life crisis per guest.
Real-life counterpart: the grand apartment at The Langham on Central Park West — used as the primary filming location for Hannah’s home and the setting for the family’s Thanksgiving dinners — was actress Mia Farrow’s own residence at the time.
The Addams family mansion in ‘Addams Family Values’
Estimated price today: $10M–$15M (plus whatever it costs to insure a moat)
Where it “would” be: Somewhere on the fringes of Westchester County, if zoning boards dared
Listing-style description:
Grand, gothic, and dramatically overqualified for hosting Thanksgiving — or in this case, a truly unhinged Thanksgiving pageant — the Addams family mansion is a 19th-century fever dream with turrets, stonework, shadowy hallways, and enough square footage to house multiple ghosts, eccentric relatives, and one extremely committed butler.
Features include a cavernous dining hall suited for elaborate feasts, a kitchen built for experimental cuisine, and sprawling grounds that can easily accommodate sword fighting, séances, and any holiday festivities that skew a little… off the beaten path. Perfect for buyers who think “a little dark” is actually the highest compliment.
The Stone family house in ‘The Family Stone’
Estimated price today: $1.6M–$2.2M
Where it “would” be: Suburban Connecticut
Listing-style description:
Gorgeous multi-story Colonial with shingled exterior, sprawling floor plan, and enough emotional square footage to fuel an entire holiday film. Features a warm, lived-in kitchen, a dining room ready for high-tension toasts, and a cozy living room made for fireside confessions. Ideal for big families, big opinions, and unexpected romantic entanglements.
The Tuohy family mansion in ‘The Blind Side’
Estimated price today: $2.5M–$4M
Where it “would” be: East Memphis
Listing-style description:
Expansive Southern-style home with stately columns, a sweeping staircase, and multiple interior spaces designed for large-family holidays. Features a chef’s kitchen, formal dining room, multiple seating areas, and the kind of warm-meets-polished interior that looks great during emotional sports montages.
Private backyard suitable for football practice, impromptu pep talks, and large holiday gatherings.
The Baker family home in ‘Dutch’ (a deep-cut Thanksgiving selection)
Estimated price today: $900K–$1.4M
Where it “would” be: Affluent Atlanta suburb (per filming locations)
Listing-style description:
Upscale 5-bedroom traditional with manicured landscaping, oversized rooms, and formal entertaining spaces. Features include a classic ’90s staircase, well-appointed kitchen, and family room ideal for mending fractured father-son relationships. Driveway long enough to reflect on life choices.
‘The O.C.’’s Cohen house — home of the annual “Thanksgiving from Hell” episodes
Estimated price today: $8M–$12M
Where it “would” be: Newport Beach
Listing-style description:
Iconic SoCal mansion with cathedral ceilings, sun-drenched rooms, pool views, and the famous open-plan kitchen that witnessed multiple chaotic Thanksgivings. Features include a chef’s island, formal living room, and backyard perfect for dramatic entrances and unexpected dinner guests.
Real-life counterpart: Filming for the series took place at a real house located in Malibu, California (and not Orange County, as the series claimed), which has since burned down in a fire. A different mansion stands in its place.
The Pearson house in ‘This Is Us’ (Thanksgiving episode central)
Estimated price today: $550K–$900K
Where it “would” be: Pittsburgh suburbs
Listing-style description:
Warm 3-bedroom family home with nostalgic charm and a kitchen that has weathered decades of holiday flashbacks. Includes a cozy living room, homey dining area, and yard space suitable for emotional breakthroughs and slow-motion montage moments.
The ‘Friends’ apartments — because no one does Thanksgiving TV like Friends
Estimated price today:
– Monica & Rachel’s: $2.3M–$3M
– Joey & Chandler’s: $1.4M–$1.9M
Where they “would” be: West Village (the fictional version)
Listing-style description:
Spacious, sunlit prewar units with improbably large kitchens for Manhattan. Hardwood floors, quirky built-ins, and open layouts perfect for hosting massive Thanksgiving dinners (even if half the group is fighting). Includes room for giant turkeys, surprise celebrity cameos, and at least one argument over who gets the last slice of pie.
