Interestingly, several TV shows’ sets have been slammed over the years by people ~keeping it real~ and arguing that certain characters’ jobs and lifestyles just wouldn’t allow them to have the lavish homes or apartments they sometimes do on television. For example, a 2015 Bustle article suggested Monica Geller and Rachel Green’s Greenwich Village apartment on Friends — thought to be around 1,500 square-feet — would probably cost renters a whopping $5,000 per month in NYC.
Similarly, Sex and the City‘s lead character, Carrie Bradshaw, lived in a super cute, Upper East Side apartment in NYC — all while working as a freelance writer. According to The Financial Diet, Carrie’s apartment would have cost her nearly $3,000 per month to rent. Sorry SATC fans, but Carrie being able to afford her place is totally unrealistic!
Thankfully, we’re usually able to look past the huge and expensive pads we see our favorite TV characters hanging out in every day and just take them for what they are — awesomely decorated living spaces! Scroll down to see more of the most iconic television living rooms ever.
