The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990)

The Banks mansion from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Brentwood, Los Angeles Here's the twist the theme song never mentions: the white-columned house Will's cab pulls up to is not in Bel-Air at all but in Brentwood, on the other side of the 405. Built in 1937 in a Georgian style, it supplied the establishing shots, while Uncle Phil's living room and that curving staircase were on a soundstage. In 2020 one wing was offered on Airbnb for a handful of $30 nights, and in 2026 the estate was listed for sale at $29.5 million. It is a private home behind its hedges, so admire the columns from the street.
