The apartments featured in the iconic sitcom Friends are not real in the sense that they don't exist as actual living spaces.
- The exterior shots of Monica and Rachel's apartment building were filmed at 90 Bedford Street in Greenwich Village, New York City. However, the building's interior was recreated on a soundstage.
- The interior sets were designed and built specifically for the show. These sets were incredibly detailed and became instantly recognizable to fans.
- The apartments were also used for filming exterior scenes, with the use of clever camera angles and set design.
While the apartments themselves are fictional creations, the Friends production team paid great attention to detail in their design and construction. This meticulous attention to detail helped to create a sense of realism and contributed to the show's lasting popularity.
