Breaking Bad is a crime drama series created by Vince Gilligan, starring Bryan Cranston, Anna Gunn, Aaron Paul, Giancarlo Esposito, Dean Norris, and Betsy Brandt. The show follows a chemistry teacher, Walter White, who, after finding out that he will soon die from cancer, starts cooking and selling methamphetamine to secure his family's financial future.

He partners with his former student Jesse Pinkman, and together, they establish a successful business. However, their lives are constantly threatened by the other stakeholders of the crime business, including other druglords and law enforcement agencies.

Breaking Bad is regarded as one of the best shows ever created. It has a global following and a 9.5 IMDb rating. The house that was used as Walter White's residence became a spot where fans would often visit to click a picture. The iconic Alberquerque house is now for sale for the price of $4 million.

Is 308 Negra Arroyo Lane a real address?

No, 308 Negra Lane, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87104, is a fictional address of Walter White's residence where he lived with his pregnant wife and son in Breaking Bad. In real life, the address is different, which was not used in the show to protect the privacy of its real owners.

The actual house is now up for sale for $4 million, according to the local news channel KOB-4. The showrunners changed the name and address of many other real places, such as the A1A Car Wash, which is known by a different name in real life.

Where is Walter White's home?

Walter White's house in Breaking Bad is actually at 3828 Piermont Drive NE, Albuquerque, NM 87111. After the show's success, the location became so popular that fans would use it as a tourist spot and click pictures. The owners, Fran and Louis Padilla erected a 6-foot iron fence to deter visitors in 2017.

Their daughter Joanne Quintana talked to KOB-4 about their experience while filming the show that changed their lives. She said:

“We were, like anybody, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing. You got to meet the actors, the actresses, you got to see how they set up the equipment and what it all takes.”

She also talked about the volume of passionate fans who would visit the site.

"We average 300 cars a day. Come Balloon Fiesta, hundreds of thousands come for balloons. Balloons go up, they come down. Where do they come? Here,” said Quintana.

Joanne believes that whoever buys the house should turn it into a museum dedicated to the show. This would give greater access to the fans who have loved and appreciated Breaking Bad for many years.

“I hope they make it what the fans want. They want a BnB, they want a museum, they want access to it. Go for it. This is what they want. They want the iconic pool," Joanne added.
