If we are limiting it to apartments/condos, then _Frasier_’s is the one I want. If houses are included, then Charlie’s Malibu beach house in _Two and a half Men_. ---

Barbara Gordon’s apartment from the 60’s _Batman_ TV series. It had a fake wall behind which you could hide a costume and a motorcycle. ---

Samantha’s apartment on Samantha Who? is spacious and nicely appointed. ---

> [@Bridget\_Burke](#): > > Cordelia’s apartment in _Angel_! A spacious place in Silverlake with nifty “Hollywood Spanish” architectural details. And a cutely retro tile bathroom. Kitchen?

The ghost’s name was Dennis.

But the constant repairs would be expensive. And I would have gotten rid of all those African masks; there was still one in Joyce’s bedroom, long after she was gone.) Why would there be constant repairs if there were no vampire slayer in residence? Or are YOU a vampire slayer? ---

Sigourney Weaver’s apartment in the movie Copycat for movie hm, not sure for tv apartment, i dont watch a lot of sitcoms. On retrospect, Forever Knight’s loft works for me, and I even like Toronto. Can we retrofit it for handicapped access? ---

I like Niles Crane’s apartment from _Frasier_ with all of his wood and bookshelves and his furniture style. I also, as a single person I could handle Paul & Jamie Buchman’s apartment from _Mad About You_. But as a slob, I don’t think I could deal with having to keep my bedroom constantly clean so that I wouldn’t be mortified by it every time a guest had to walk through it to get to the bathroom. ---

If I’m going extravagant, I’ll take Charlotte’s place in Sex and the City – the one she got in the divorce from Trey. For a more comfy and economical Manhattan option, I would choose Seinfeld’s apartment. But I’m keeping the bathroom door shut all the time! ---

I’ll take Bob Newhart’s apartment from **The Bob Newhart Show**. Can I keep Suzanne Pleshette? Not sure I like either of Mary Richards’ apartments. ---

Niles did have a great apartment. I remember Susan having a great view out of her apartment in Suddenly Susan, but I don’t remember much else about it. Neither one is technically in a city I want to live in. ---

I always thought Emma Peel’s apartment was pleasant looking. Perhaps a bit dated now. ---

Kara Thrace’s place in Caprica City seemed decent, for a basement apartment. Admittedly, Thrace wasn’t too thrilled with it - she claimed that neither the heat, air conditioning, or toilet functioned properly. And “the rent’s a crime.” But this is Kara Thrace - she’s never happy. Also, I’d rather hope that Thrace’s apartment would come complete _with_ a naked Kara Thrace. Which would improve it substantially. ---

Or are YOU a vampire slayer? I’m not a vampire slayer in this life–but Sunnydale just seemed a riskier neighborhood. Even before it became a giant crater. However, Giles also had a pretty fine place… (Yes, I think Dennis did move on.) ---

If Lois Lane could afford that Taj Mahal apartment in _Superman: The Movie_ on a reporter’s salary, Metropolis must be a renter’s paradise. ---

Vampires are the most common species of demon there, and they’re a problem mostly if you don’t take the appropriate precautions.
