“The Simpsons” Has Been On TV for 30 Years—Here Are the Best Homes

“The Simpsons” is in its 30th season—and now holds the title of the longest-running primetime scripted series. Over three decades, we’ve seen hundreds of versions of the opening theme, ending with the family together on the couch, in a home most Americans would probably recognize. That said, Springfield (and its surrounding areas) has some other pretty awesome places to live. So here’s a selection of the coolest pads in “The Simpsons” universe.

In “Helter Shelter” (season 14 episode 5), the Simpsons family moves into a 100-year-old home after termites damage their real home. Before landing there, however, they investigate their other living options, through which they discover Lenny has an unexpectedly nice bachelor pad.

In “The Bart of War” (season 14, episode 21), we learn that Flanders has an extensive Beatles memorabilia room AND a panic room (complete with a Christian cross door handle). In another episode, “Dead Putting Society” (season 2, episode 6), we see he also has a man cave featuring a pool table, foosball, a dart board, and a full bar with imported beer on draft. Not bad, Ned!

In “The Bart Wants What It Wants” (season 13, episode 11), Bart falls for the wealthy Greta Wolfcastle, whose mansion features props from her famous dad’s movies, a pink canopy bed in her room, and a giant home theater.

In “You Only Move Twice” (season 8, episode 2), the Simpsons abandon their longtime home for a new one outside Springfield after Homer gets a new job working for Hank Scorpio. The new, wood-filled house is automated in every way, with a self-cleaning kitchen and a green house full of self-watering plants. However, Marge suffers from an identity crisis when she realizes she has nothing to do and starts drinking. Plus, they need to leave after it becomes clear that Hank Scorpio is secretly an Elon Musk-like super villain.

We see a lot of this mansion throughout the series, but in “The Mansion Family” (season 11, episode 12), the family gets to take full advantage of its amenities while they house sit for Burns. They learn he has a disposable canopy bed for every new day, along with a mechanical dresser called the Auto Dresser. Long hallways with art cover safes, and an office displays a row of the heads of rare, hunted game (including a narwhal).

In this Treehouse of Horror XII episode (season 13, episode 1), the family moves into a futuristic smart house voiced by Pierce Brosnan. Unfortunately, the house falls in love with Marge and hatches several plots to kill Homer. It’s all pretty convenient living before the murder stuff kicks in, though.

In “A Fish Called Selma” (season 7, episode 19), famous actor and playboy Troy McClure falls in love with Selma, one of Marge’s two cantankerous sisters. He lives in a Space Needle-like apartment featuring a pool, a giant, pastel seashell-shaped bed, and an aquarium.

We see the simple Simpsons’ house in various states of disrepair over three decades, but it’s always pretty classic. It, like the show, has proven it can pretty resiliently stand the test of time.
