1. Monica Geller’s Apartment from Friends
Who wouldn’t want to live in Monica’s rent-controlled Manhattan apartment? It was a spacious yet homey apartment that had bright colors (who doesn’t remember the purple walls?), an open kitchen/living room, and a large balcony. With the door always unlocked, it was where all of the friends hung out when they weren’t at a certain coffee shop downstairs.
2. Carrie Bradshaw’s Apartment, Sex and the City
The apartment (and walk-in closet) that is the envy of every girl in search of her own apartment. Could a freelance writer afford such a nice brownstone apartment in NYC when she was probably spending all of her money on shoes? Probably not, but it’s a classic television apartment that lives up to its pop-culture status.
3. Leonard and Sheldon’s Apartment, The Big Bang Theory
Once again, a bigger apartment that most of us renters are used to, but these guys sure know how to decorate. Plus, who wouldn’t want to live across the hall from their on-and-off again girlfriend. I’m sure these tech-savvy nerds pay their rent online.
4. Barney Stinson’s Apartment, How I Met Your Mother
The ultimate bachelor pad complete with two 300-inch flat screen TVs and a life-sized Storm Trooper. When can we move in?
5. Lucy and Ricky’s Apartment, I Love Lucy
It might not be as modern as some of the other apartments on this list, but it had a dine-in kitchen, a bedroom big enough for two twin beds, and the landlords were their best friends so no matter how many crazy hijinks Lucy got herself into, their apartment was always safe.
