Wisteria Lane of Desperate Housewives, Universal Studios Hollywood

A visit to Wisteria Lane, the street where Desperate Housewives lives. Today known as Colonial Street. This street is set at Universal Studios lot, Hollywood California USA. The houses and street have been used in several other movies and TV productions such as Dragnet, Munsters, Colonial Street and Delta house.
A number of music videos been filmed here as well; Dilemma by Nelly ft. Kelly Rowland, Why don't you get a job by Offspring and It's a beautiful day by Michael Bublé!

Fry Billner I doubt you even own a passport. I'm surprised you actually know what or where the continent of Europe is. Though you're most likely too much of an ignoramus to be aware of all the countries that constitute said continent.

[@Charlie-rb7to]

@Eurovision Fanclearly he or she is someone who deleted their comment! Unless you are blind, you'll see that another commenter responded to the same remark posted. Any particular reason you questioned me and not vicki g?

[@Charlie-rb7to]

@Eurovision Fanyou responded to a comment I made ONE YEAR AGO to someone else (who has clearly deleted their comment over the course of the last 12 months!). I think the only person who needs to shut the F up and keep their opinions to themselves is you. What exactly is your problem?? And, just to reiterate, YOU are the one who initially responded to a comment I made A YEAR AGO! I hope that little nugget of information has absorbed into your little brain...

[@firman5933]

Ohhhh....i love the show! And I'd love to live there....wisteria lane, a place full of drama 😁

[@giulietta-1555]

growing up in Europe, i always said some day i will live in a street like this.. maybe one day 😁

[@Limewave]

Hi, thanks for your question. This was filmed while the series was still being produced and at that time this was as close as you got. If they actually filmed that day, the tram would not be allowed to drive up the street at all. We where told only a few of the houses actually had an inside and lots was filmed at a soundstage. They use the street and houses for other films and series so I doubt any furniture from the series is still there. They where probably removed the last day of filming.

[@barbaradan-asemah5723]

Wowie 😳

[@ruzzelladrian907]

I wanna live there !

[@rossellinirossicalrossc3507]

They also filmed Big Mommas House here, and the music video for Dilemma - Nelly & Kelly.

[@Limewave]

Yeah, they've shot a lot of films, TV-shows and music videos here as I wrote in the description, where I also mention the Dilemma video. :-)

[@jhall1ny]

I love the updated design of Katherine Mayfair’s house. Beautiful, warm wood work, open floor plan, contrasted with bright colors in the kitchen. I love how they opened up the galley kitchen into a horseshoe by wrapping it around the dining room, and creating a bar stool seating area. My second favorite home is Bob Hunter’s house. Admittedly he and his husband’s decor choice is more suited for a modern home, so it looks tacky and out of place. Betty Applewhite did a beautiful job of decorating the house (minus the prison cell in the basement).

[@xbeanmarie]

Omgggg i need this!!! I’ve watched that series too many times

[@Mia-vb8zy]

OMG OMG I wanna go there 😖 I was obsessed w desperate housewives

[@Bmariposah]

[@SnickersAveect]

Omg! I wish I can go to this very place - Wisteria Lane. I wanna walk on foot on the pavement and enter the houses and admire the interior.. this would be so much fun. Desperate Housewives is awesome

[@qseued]

I remember going on that tour years ago as a teenager in Universal Studios. I was waiting for the Gaby or Bree to come out or something lol. But alas, you are not allowed to step out of the tour bus.

[@mikoajpapiez1231]

House of Gabrielle, Susan, Mary Alice, Applewhite's/Bob&Lee's, Martha Huber, Edie, Mike's/Katherine first floor is fully decorated in in the house. All second floors, Lynette's interior, Bree's interior, second room of Susan (behind stairs) and Gabi's kitchen were in sound studio and only Karen McCluskey house has a first and second floor fully functionall. Only Lynette's house is a facade. They don't even have a back wall (I saw that in one of the videos). In Bree's house is only a toilet.

[@abigailarroyo9951]

[@cancelaaatoday]

When the show was in production, the Studio Tour trams rarely accessed the street during the week as it was in constant use, so real fans had to visit on weekends or occasionally on rainy days. As of May 2012: The street has been resurfaced, and a lot of white fencing (and wisteria) has been removed.

[@phil7708]

Absolutely amazing, I'd love to visit some day

[@thekingswool]

I finally went to USH last year in Nov and I was fangirling so hard when we drove through colonial street. I wish I could have seen it dressed like this before they got rid of it all. Desperate Housewives is forever iconic.

[@amandaeklund9499]

[@TheAlfonsoL]

I went there on January 2010! It was absolutely AMAZING! I have a question: what does it mean when outside a house there is a light? Are they filming inside or what? Because I remember there was light outside Bree´s house

[@nicolsr2922]

Its now kinda sad to see that the street has lost all its colors. Bright colors of the houses have been removed, all the fake flowers too, lots of trees, and the playground/garden in front of Edie's house. Wisteria Lane brought so much life to Colonial Street

[@valentinchesnay6817]

They are driving too fast 😞😞

[@oksanan7609]

Как бы я хотела там побывать❤❤❤ такие спокойные времена

[@JonesFamilyTravels]

Great video!

[@cancelaaatoday]

One of the most popular places to shoot on the back lot,"Colonial Street" has a long history; it is now more commonly known as Wisteria Lane. Production ended on the 8-year run of Desperate Housewives in April 2012. The area is having a makeover to get it back to a more generic neighborhood so it can once again begin appearing in other shows and productions with no echoes of Wisteria.

[@MadameHollywoodX]

So if I visit 'Universal Studio's' I can take the studio tour and see Wisteria Lane?

[@Chamsk]

They makes nelly and kelly Rowland “dilemma” video clip up there in Susan house

I would love for someone to recreate this neighborhood or houses similar to this.

[@Limewave]

From my understanding the houses are still there on the Colonial Street of Universal Studios Lot in Universal City, California. However they do make some changes to the street/houses now and then depending on what film or TV-series they shoot there at the moment.

[@tianalowe4529]

We've been to Wisteria Lane and looked for the Desperate Housewives buff.ly/1udTm8v #movie #universalstudio #wisterialane #travel

[@Limewave]

@comomoloful1 Of course! It's a lot of fun and Wisteria Lane is just one of many interesting and fun spots to see during this tour. Once you've paid the entrance fee to Universal Studios you can take this ride for as many times as you want as well. It's just a matter of how many times you want to stay in the line, or if you're lucky enough to get here in the right time. Inside Universal there's also many other things to do of course, rides to enjoy etc.

[@II-be1ze]

Been there- great tour.

[@BBrunnel]

I hope it’s still up I would love to visit one day

[@Limewave]

The houses have been used to lots of films, TV-shows and music videos so I expect they are still there. But perhaps they get some adjustments now and then to fit new requirements.

[@jazzyg1909]

This is awesome 😍

[@L1d0]

They also shot The 'Burbs here, with Tom Hanks and Carrie Fisher.

[@cancelaaatoday]

Every house featured on Desperate Housewives were houses that were and had been built and featured many years prior; (ex: The Munster's creepy house). They simply remodeled the outside with and updated paint job, took away some tresses, removed the stone wall and 19th century gothic fencing and voila! 1313 Mockingbird lane, formerly, the "Maxim House" of the 1946 movie "So Goes My Love" (aka "A Genius in the Family") becomes infamous again on Desperate Housewives. Wonder what it'll become next!

[@kikoujuju6813]

Real house ? Real town??. Dont know what to think. Too perfect !🤣

[@Limewave]

No, it's not a real town. It's a street on the backlot of Universal in Burbank CA. Some of the houses are fully built with rooms and interior etc while some are not. And nobody lives here, this is purely for the movie industry.

[@kikoujuju6813]

Sure do. These houses have been used for multiple shows throughout the years so even if they do not shoot Desperate Housewives anymore you're likely to see them in other shows and films.

[@honeyabigaill]

I had no idea they had thisss

[@hpfav101]

does this still exist does anyone know?

[@Limewave]

I'm pretty sure it's still there and will stay since it's been used over and over again for various films, TV-shows and music videos since. I believe it's been used since back in the '70s but probably there's been several buildings added and adjusted since then.

[@Limewave]

Hi, thanks for your question. No, it's not open to public, it's a set on Universal Studios in Burbank California. You could probably get a chance to see the street (from a tour-tram) if you go on the VIP tour. (However the street gets closed down if something is filmed there).

[@RoyBoy710]

Can you get out and walk along wisteria lane?

[@Limewave]

@MadameHollywoodX There's no guarantee, but it's featured on the tour when they're not shooting. Another excellent tour is closeby; Warner studio tour. The first time we were here they were shooting Friends, so unfortunatelly we weren't allowed on their set. The second time the show had ended, but we were allowed to visit "central perk" and sit in the famous sofa :-) If you want to see photos from this, go to flickr and search for: "Warner LimeWave"

[@Limewave]

The tours are not allowed on the street if they are filming.

[@Limewave]

@waaaraaa This is inside Universal Studios and is used for filming. Nobody lives here. Right now this set is mainly used for Desperate Housewives, but many other tv-shows and films has been taped here as well.

[@Limewave]

Fredric, if you're referring to the very last one... we did some research and if we're not mistaken it was used by the character of Rose Kemper prior to season 5.

So do people stay in the house or is the studio
