Walter White’s House from ‘Breaking Bad’ Is Now Up for Sale for $4 Million

The iconic Albuquerque house made famous as Walter White’s home in Breaking Bad is now up for sale, carrying a hefty $4 million price tag. This suburban, ranch-style home, located in northeast Albuquerque, spans 1,910 square feet and includes four bedrooms and one bathroom.

Despite its “Zestimate” of around $343,000, its connection to the hit show gives it an entirely different value.

Joanne Quintana, whose family owned the home for decades, shared that it has been a hotspot for fans since Breaking Bad ended in 2013. Tourists from around the world flock to the property, often taking photos and sometimes going to extremes like attempting to reenact scenes, including tossing pizzas onto the roof—a nod to one of Walter White’s most memorable moments in the series.

The house’s journey into pop culture history began in 2006 when a film scout knocked on the door and proposed using it for a pilot episode. Quintana’s late mother, Fran Padilla, usually avoided answering the door, but on that day, she did. After verifying the project’s legitimacy, the family agreed, and the house became a key location for the show. Filming for interior scenes, however, took place in a studio.

Quintana recalls fond memories of the filming process, including how her mother baked cookies for the cast and crew. Bryan Cranston, who played Walter White, refrained from indulging due to his character’s storyline, but he finally enjoyed a cookie on the last day of filming, taking a photo with Fran’s biscotti.

Over the years, the growing popularity of the show brought both excitement and challenges to the family. An average of 300 cars passed the property daily, with some fans leaving packages addressed to Walter White. Security measures like a fence and cameras were added after incidents such as a bomb squad being called for a suspicious delivery.

Now, with her parents gone, Quintana and her siblings have decided it’s time to let go of the home that has been in their family for over 50 years. The listing, managed by David Christensen and Sonya Avila of Christensen Group | eXp Realty Luxury and Ryan Johnston of InterPhase Entertainment, has drawn interest from investors. Potential buyers see opportunities to transform the property into a vacation rental or even a museum dedicated to the show.

Whether it becomes a fan destination or simply a high-profile home, this piece of television history continues to captivate Breaking Bad enthusiasts around the globe. For Quintana and her family, it’s a bittersweet farewell, as they hold onto decades of memories while stepping away from the spotlight the show brought to their quiet neighborhood.

The listing company has created a website to highlight the property, promoting it as an opportunity to own a part of pop culture history.
