Is it just me, or does the thought of Karen from down the street showing up at your front door with a package addressed to Walter White feel like the plot twist of a season finale? Well, that’s exactly the reality facing the current owners of the infamous Walter White’s house from Breaking Bad, which has been drawing fans like moths to a flame for over a decade. Imagine living in a house where hundreds of people cruise by daily, snapping selfies like they’re on some sort of high-stakes treasure hunt!
Now, after five iconic decades under the same roof, the family is finally putting this piece of television history on the market. But hold on, it’s not just because the house has become the New Mexico version of Disneyland; there are a few pizza-related “fans” who might just be pushing them to the edge! As the story unfolds, one can’t help but wonder—what would it be like to call home the backdrop of one of television’s most legendary dramas? Complete with package deliveries that might just need a bomb squad…
Curious about the price tag on an opportunity like this? Spoiler alert: it might just cost you a cool $3.995 million! If that figment of your imagination is flickering, you can check out the full story behind this iconic home. LEARN MORE
Breaking Bad has been off the air for over a decade, but fans still make the pilgrimage to Walter White’s house.
The most famous house in all of New Mexico, that of Walter White’s on Breaking Bad, is up for sale. And while the owners didn’t directly blame fans (or pollution…), they and their pizzas haven’t exactly made it easy.
The Breaking Bad house has been with the same family for over five decades and is now owned by one of the daughters of the married couple who purchased it in the 1970s. But with around 300 cars driving by or stopping every day, it has become too much to handle, especially with eventual owner, Joanne Quintana, helping care for her ailing parents inside.
At one point, Quintana recalled, “Around 4:30 in the morning, the doorbell rang, my mom got up and opened the door, and it was a package…My brothers said that’s it, we’re done, fence is going up. That’s too close for comfort is the front door.” Apparently the package was actually addressed to Walter White, causing her to call the bomb squad.
And while there may be some slight bitterness buried in the push to sell, fortunately it wasn’t all bad times for the family. As Quintana remembered, allowing the Breaking Bad crew to film at her residence gave her once-in-a-lifetime stories, including one about her mom’s cookies that she always made on shooting days. “What was funny was Bryan Cranston could not eat not one cookie. Because he had cancer in the show, so he was losing weight. So he would pass, but everybody, all the directors, all the writers would eat the cookies. The last day of shooting, he takes a picture holding my mom’s biscotti because he finally got to eat her cookies…Aaron Paul had to grunt and get angry to get into his character of Jesse. That was awesome. And the magic of Hollywood, nobody will ever get to experience what we did.”
It’s too bad that the traffic and the Breaking Bad fans have essentially forced the family to leave the house they grew up in, but there are at least some unique memories that they can carry with them to their next home. Maybe the Poltergeist house will hit the market again!
The price for the house — whose listing you can find here — is $3.995 million. So if you want to be the one who knocks and have that sort of cash sitting in barrels, you can have one heck of a pool party.
