""All in the Family" was filmed in California, but Archie Bunker's house was located at 704 Hauser Street in Astoria, Queens. Unfortunately, neither the street nor the interior of that house is real. That said, some of the exterior shots were done using an actual (and still standing) house in Queens. That house is located to the southeast at 89-70 Cooper Avenue in the Glendale neighborhood. It's currently a 1,312-square-foot tourist attraction. As for what it's worth today, ballpark estimates put it at $820,000."
"While we couldn't find sales documents for this address in the period that the Bunkers "lived" there, NYC's ACRIS property records documents a mortgage on a house three doors down document for $12,500 in 1968. Given the similarity of these row-homes, it's reasonable to assume a similar value in a stable post-war real estate period. With a monthly payment of just $90.38 on a 30-year mortgage, Archie's middle age and golden years looked like smooth sailing until the house was paid off."
All in the Family was filmed in California but portrayed Archie Bunker's home at 704 Hauser Street in Astoria, Queens; the house and its interior were fictional. Exterior shots used a real Glendale, Queens house at 89-70 Cooper Avenue, a 1,312-square-foot tourist attraction now estimated around $820,000. NYC ACRIS records show a nearby mortgage for $12,500 in 1968, suggesting similar row-homes had comparable values. A 30-year mortgage at that price produced a monthly payment near $90.38. Inflation adjustments place the 1968 price near $112,156 today and housing-specific measures estimate roughly $136,566 in 2026.
