The Simpsons is America's longest-running TV comedy and one of the most astounding successes in television history, having grossed Fox sums of money measuring in the billions and winning over 23 Emmys as well as a Peabody Award. Now in its 29th season, the show takes place in the stereotypical suburban setting of Springfield, meant to be a kind of Everytown USA which works in part because every state seems to have an actual Springfield. In fact, only 34 states do, but Springfield's vague location has become somewhat of a running joke in the world of Homer and his fans.
The show strings together storylines—ornamented with political and social commentary, celebrity guest appearances, and sharp, jagged humor—that poke fun at the lifestyle of middle-class America. Crucial to this success, is the city of Springfield, and its endless bounty of strange residents, that have provided the perfect stage for the Simpsons family and their misadventures.
The Simpsons themselves are a typical middle-class American family, with the normative make-up of a mom, dad, and three kids. They live at 742 Evergreen Terrace in a two-story detached house with an attached garage, basement and loft, all dressed in a light pink that becomes light brown later in the series. Their home is an example of a standard suburban tract house, and just as Springfield has become an Everytown, so too has the Simpsons' house—one of TV's most recognizable—become a symbol of American suburbia.
Now, the iconic house has gotten a makeover, multiple. HomeAdvisor has reimagined the Simpson family home in 8 different architectural styles that would surely stick out in Springfield. Take a look below!
