The iconic Albuquerque home featured in AMC’s Breaking Bad is now on the market after its owner faced years of disturbances from fans and tourists. The house, which served as the residence of Walter White (played by Bryan Cranston) in the hit series, is listed for $3.9 million. The property is being sold by real estate agents David Christensen, Sonya Avila, and Ryan Johnston.
This home, part of the popular show about a high school teacher turned meth manufacturer, was featured throughout all five seasons. The show, which starred Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, became one of the most acclaimed television dramas ever. The house itself has been a lived-in property since filming began in 2006, despite its fame.
The 1,910-square-foot home has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and includes a swimming pool and a two-car garage. Joanne Quintana, who grew up in the house, has been the owner and expressed both the joy and challenges of living in such a well-known location. Initially welcoming fans, Quintana became frustrated over time as tourists, often recreating scenes from the show, caused damage to the property and disrupted her daily life. Notably, fans threw pizzas on the roof to replicate a famous scene, leading to costly repairs.
Despite installing a large metal fence and posting multiple “no trespassing” signs, the disturbances continued. Quintana described incidents such as receiving a suspicious package addressed to Walter White, which resulted in a bomb squad being dispatched. The house has become such a tourist attraction that on some days, up to 300 cars visit.
After nearly 52 years of family memories in the home, Quintana is ready to move on and has decided to sell the property for a price that reflects the lasting legacy of Breaking Bad. Though the median price for similar homes in the area is around $400,000, the fame of the house has significantly inflated its value.
