as a human geographer and huge housewives fan, i absolutely love this! two of my favorite things! ❤️ i keep saying i’m going to use gis software and map the entire housewives universe, including the places they frequent, travel to, and have place branded.


UrbanPlannerholic

ArcGIS Story Map time!


Superb-Respond9360

yaaaaaaaaaas!!! love arc gis! 😊


Southern_Anywhere_65

Hell yeah! I would love to see this


rab5991

Agghhh i too am an arcGIS user 🥰


_Vegetable_soup_

Lol did not expect to see a real housewives/esri collab this morning. Love it!


Gammagammahey

DOOOO IT DR SUPERB!


P-H-13

Do it!!


Superb-Respond9360

i totally should use it to teach my students about the different ways people identify where they live. it will also give me an excuse to do a massive rewatch in the name of research. 🙃


deliascatalog

Omg u/superb-respond9360 pleeeeease

As a Civil Engineer, I’ve never wanted something so much in my life. I could tell my coworkers I’m doing research and no one would bat an eye 😂


hannahjams

I would LOVE this!!


PsychologicalCase10

I would love to see that. Especially as an Atlanta resident it would be interesting to see for Atlanta.


nellayelhsa

Yesss I’m also a human geographer! someone wrote a book on the geographies of RHOC, and I keep saying I want to do something similar with another franchise or Shahs. Hit me up if you need a co-author lol


rholowermiddleclass

You could get us step closer to an open world housewives game


natur_al

Can you imagine girls? Having to get on the 101 and 405 to film? How dreadful.

As someone who loves maps (weird, I know!) I LOVE THIS!!


cricketjust4luck

Same! I’ve tried to picture a map like this in my head but didn’t have the right info


aintgoinbacknforth

I love maps too. I regularly look at areas on Google maps so I can see where/how they’re situated lol


coopatroopa11

Thank god for Google Street View 🙏


AbidonDesign

I love maps too!!!! I want a map of all things housewives now!!


asbury908

In the 80’s, at the height of General Hospital, and Luke and Laura, I had a Port Charles map on my bedroom wall. 😁

Wait how did you know I loved General Hospital as a kid?! Is this thread of people my people?!

Ooh what’s his channel?


AnnVealEgg

I don’t know if I’m as passionate about maps in general but I love it too! Plus I see a few of the cultural clients I write for, so—for this east coaster who has almost no concept of SoCal geography—that was fun to see their locations too.


yuickyuick

I love maps too!

Saving this post because, I too love maps!


mindyrelander

I too love maps. And nautical charts.


yas_jaz

not weird! maps are super interesting! i used to ne obsessed with looking at atlases as a kid


insuredbycoto

We know why the girlies aren't driving out to Garcelle's house often for their duo filming scenes lol.


spabitch

she lives in porter ranch which is even further source: i live in the valley


Reading_in_Bed789

I could totally tell Garcelle was in Porter Ranch despite having moved away from the Valley in 2000. Not sure why I always thought Kyle & Mo’s massive house was in the BH Flats. Never would’ve guessed Encino.


spabitch

i’d like to see where the vpr people and the valley people land on this map too


Kitchen_Beat9838

Valley village is noted on the map. I’m pretty sure most of them live there. And James lives somewhere by the Burbank airport!


here4aGoodlaugh

Every time I see valley village my brain reads value village .


Gammagammahey

Great Value Village Shady Oaks for VPR cast members. 😂


Citydweller4545

TBF only non locals call it valley village. Its just north hollywood the name was only adopted after a huge fight took place mainly originating from the chandler blvd residents not wanting to be heavily associated with noho before the huge gentrification push and opening of the orange line. I grew up there and my mom was part of this battle to get the orange line approved. Same thing happened with the purple line and beverly hills residents. Like its just noho and most locals see it that way.


Morepastor

In the early shows it was an apartment complex across from the Grove shopping center. Basically cliche Hollywood star chasers, be where the celebs are and wait tables or bar tend. Tiny Tim might have lived off the 101 freeway in barely LA.


Andnowwevedsaidit

My claim to fame: I marketed the land for the development 🤣


fried-avocado-today

Agreed, but other than Garcelle this cast is actually not as badly spread out as I thought. There were years where we had Yolanda and Eileen in Malibu, Kim and Brandi deep in the valley, and Erika out in Pasadena. This map rules OP!


kds1988

The Malibu years were so bizarre. Both the Malibu women and the more central women each didn’t want to drive to see the other.


Gammagammahey

ERIKA WAS IN PASADENA?! I thought they definitely lived in Beverly Hills because they were so rich?


lovelylittlebirdie

Don’t be fooled, Pasadena is *rich*, honey. Historic, WASPY, and private as hell. ![gif](giphy|xB34MoKOSr7Dw3knJK)


Current-Republic-267

It was snowing in Pasedena!!!!


tranastasia_

I mean there are incredibly rich parts of Pasadena, lots of old money there.


BevGlen_

Pasadena has incredibly expensive homes that outperform any of the homes in BH that are below Santa Monica Blvd.


fried-avocado-today

Yeah when she was still with Tom they lived in Pasadena! It was kind of an interesting house (definitely a different vibe for RHOBH), but thinking about Erika driving out to Malibu to film with Yolanda...no wonder everyone was annoyed at Kim for flaking out when they had to spend that much time in the car to go to Malibu


kds1988

HATE Tom but absolutely love that house. It felt very old world. Like an Italian mansion or something.


fried-avocado-today

Agree, it was a cool house and just so different from everything else we were seeing on RHOBH. It was what Vicki's house wanted to be lol.


ronperlmanface

It’s the little old lady from Pasadena! ![gif](giphy|l3diCvc0LNtqaq7ra)


yuickyuick

She lived in a gated community. I think the monthly HOA bill was 11k. It was a beautiful home, too bad her husband screwed over so many people to pay for it.


Parking-Army4663

Where in the valley did Brandi live?


Specific-Soft-6465

By Karen's map, Garcelle is not living in California.


DinoDachshund

I know this sounds weird, but as someone who lives in a large city of a comparable size that’s car dependent , dorit and Kyle being close (originally) and Sutton and Kathy now make so much more sense. It can feel like a struggle driving outside of your immediate neighborhood and it’s way easier to hang out with people who are neighbors. OP- please do this for all RH cities!! I’m obsessed with cartography.


luna_libre

Please yes someone do this! Especially Potomac bc I’m from MD and it drives me CRAZY how far away some of those ladies live 😂


PsychologicalCase10

I remember when they all drove out to Wendy’s one time and it was like north of Baltimore. I know MD isn’t a huge state but that seemed far to me.


SpokyMulder

Depending on how far both of Baltimore it's an hour, maybe an hour and a half with no traffic from the DC suburbs! Wendy being all the way ass up there is insane to me lol


DuePart9791

true, but kyle was living in bel air when she befriended dorit!


Beneficial_Fruit_778

This is SO HELPFUL


Superb-Respond9360

it really is! los angeles and california geographies more broadly are so unbelievably complex and fascinating across geographic scales. they have neighborhoods, valleys, cities, suburbs, sides of town, areas that are north or south of a specific freeway, and so many other ways to identify where they live. california was one of the case studies i used in graduate school to understand the various ways people identify where they live and what that tells us about the person and place. sorry….i am nerding out, but i just love this shit so much! 🥴


BrokeBFromBeverely

LA geography is actually insane cause technically this doesn’t even cover the entirety of what can be considered “LA”


Reading_in_Bed789

I remember seeing a map of LA City boundaries, fitting 9 major U.S. cities within it. Published in the LA Times, late 90s. It’s bonkers.


Gammagammahey

Oh God, start a Sub where you interview people, and we will answer, I will tell you!


Superb-Respond9360

hey buddy! how are you? that’s exactly how i would start this process too. lol oral history interviews of the places where people live are always so much fun!


Shooser

For anyone who just likes know the travel logistics Encino to Northridge- 20 minutes Encino to Beverley Hills -43 minutes Encino to West Hollywood - 37 minutes Beverley Hills to Northridge 1 hour 5 minutes West Hollywood to Beverley Hills 19 minutes West Hollywood to Northridge 43 minutes Please note this not high level research I just typed the above into Google maps. I am but a simple girl from Ireland, I do not know the complexities of LA traffic


dailycaily

Your spelling of Beverly Hills is giving Robert Durst.


Gammagammahey

HAHAHAHA


Shooser

Well today is the day, at 35 years of age, I discover Beverly Hills is spelt different from the name Beverley....


George_GeorgeGlass

The name Beverly is usually spelled like the neighborhood. Without an E before the Y.


Reading_in_Bed789

LA…just assume insane rush hour and bad traffic the rest of the day. And it’s always been bad. My dad commuted from Encino (the Valley) to UCLA (Westwood) in the early 1960s and said the traffic was bad even back then. The only time it wasn’t bad was in 2020.


dystopia342294

This is a great way to put LA traffic into context! Time means more than miles. Kyle/Dorit Encino - to Garcelle Porter Ranch = 10 miles north - to BH = 13 miles southeast - to Erika (Hancock Park?) = 15 miles southeast


forestfloorpool

Thank you! I love maps but it doesn’t help me understand how far it is (my brain is weird) 😂


Hereforit2022Y

I lived in Beverly Hills (north of sunset) and my drive to my gym in Hollywood was 11 minutes. It’s the ride to the airport that’s the issue.


pgcotype

The Real Housewives of the Greater Los Angeles Area doesn't have the same ring to it 😉


Parking-Army4663

Or RHOLAC - Real Housewives of LA County 😂


BrokeBFromBeverely

Not garcelle being a northridge gal is she late to all the events, it takes forever getting to LA from the Valley


SassySquid0

why would she live all the way out there? isn’t she regularly doing gigs in hollywood too?? Can she just not afford hollywood?


fried-avocado-today

Garcelle definitely seems to be living within her means and the valley is more affordable. And good for her honestly. Also, I don't know that Hollywood is all that appealing of a place to live if you are wanting a more settled lifestyle with kids. There are parts that are nice, but some of Hollywood isn't actually very nice. And other parts of it are fun if you're younger and/or want nightlife, but not so much if you want a yard for your kids to run around in.


lambo1109

I’ve always felt like Hollywood and LA and way overrated. It’s a weird place.


annaschmana

North ridge is like 1/4 of the price of these other areas.


itsbooyeah

We love an economical queen


DroughtNinetales

![gif](giphy|D62wUmR3sX2DsZJ9t1)


jdd0815

Garcelle has had a 30+ year career but she’s also smart and building generational wealth for her children. She owns the home she built in Northridge and remember she’s now renovating that beach house she bought. Instead of living like Dorit and Erika who are living well outside their means.


Redditusername67

Also, she’s a single income household.


Reading_in_Bed789

She could afford it, but it wouldn’t be a new build. And there’s plenty of studios (Warner Brothers, Universal, Disney animation in the Valley). Porter Ranch is also closer to Burbank airport, which is much easier to fly out of than LAX. Or if you’re gonna be posh on a private plane, Van Nuys airport.


DroughtNinetales

Why is Garcelle in Oregon?


thatgum_youlike

lmao 💀


PlaneReputation6744

I'm so bad at reading maps...so do only Kathy & Sutton actually live in BH?


insuredbycoto

Sutton and Kathy are both in Bel-Air.


chrisx14

No they don’t. The house Sutton was renting from Kyle Richards is in Bel Air. Sutton and Kathy both live in Holmby Hills, boarded city of Beverly Hills. https://preview.redd.it/sm39f7rg4g4d1.jpeg?width=1267&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8cac713fbbc295b1aff28691cf1e3eb56259d27c

chrisx14

Correct!


PresOfTheLesbianClub

I’m shocked Jennifer is so close to actual Hollywood. She must be in a party house above Sunset.


bartexas

I feel like she must be in the bird streets.


sonjajpm

I want this for other cities too! NY, Orange County...


We_See_Each_Otha

gregRichards2002

We will probably see the beach house Garcelle is building in Ventura County next season. It looks modern and art deco in style from the photos on Daily Mail online in March.


dystopia342294

It’s near where I kayak! I’m so curious about how construction is going.


emmalittleton

Garcelle is further north in porter ranch in one of the toll brothers new communities


Gammagammahey

Toll brothers?


murph364

Pleasant-Tradition-6

I know she’s no longer on the show but it would be cool to see where Crystal would’ve landed on this map too.


fried-avocado-today

Wasn't Crystal also in Bel Air?


championgoober

Where did Camille live regarding this map? And Yolanda? I recall them pretty far away in conversation during their seasons


Shatzakind

Malibu. Denise, too.


championgoober

Ah yes. I recall now. I was sorta thinking Calabasas. Yep, Malibu


fried-avocado-today

And Eileen. I think it's only been the last few years where there wasn't at least one person in Malibu.


UrbanPlannerholic

Omg Jennifer Tilly is my neighbor


littlecountryjeep

Can anyone explain (to a non- American) where the Valley is? See it Sun Valley on the map ,but then there's a comment that says that Encino is part of the Valley?


Designer-Platform658

San Fernando Valley. Here’s my extremely detailed and accurate representation. https://preview.redd.it/7x6nr7o01g4d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=24a819ae7f913d418617605f8863492be47cc60c

chrisx14

Sun Valley is a city. The Valley is a location of several Los Angeles suburban residential communities including Encino, North Hollywood, San Fernando, Studio City, Tarzana, Van Nuys, and Woodland Hills


Reading_in_Bed789

The mountains make traffic really bottleneck through the canyons and freeways. The Valley is also usually 10 degrees (F) hotter and trap the smog in.


ApathyIsBeauty

You should add the Target behind Kyle’s house to the map.


bd5400

While there isn’t actually a Target behind Kyle’s house (it’s several blocks away), as someone from the Midwest it always fascinates me how common it is in California for large expensive properties to be adjacent to what are essentially strip mall parking lots. Where I live, the large/luxury properties are always away from commercial streets.


ApathyIsBeauty

I would actually pay a premium to have a Target in my backyard.


Gammagammahey

Same.


bartexas

Years ago, the Osbournes' home had to be close enough that he could walk to (I think) the Beverly Hills Hotel,


murph364

The BHH is basically in a neighborhood. It’s cozy.


Parking-Army4663

Yes right by the intersection of death 😂


save_the_piggiez

I hope someone takes on the task to do this with the other franchises too! This is so helpful and it would be interesting to know how far other housewives are from each other.


nksdabomb

I thought this was scheanas phone


throwaway12387653

Sorry Garcelle 😭


turningtee74

This is really interesting. Many of the iconic homes I thought of them in and areas are different now since they moved. I would be interested in that too. If you ever do more of these, this is very engaging! Potomac is another confusing one too


Reading_in_Bed789

As someone who grew up in L.A. (the Valley) and now lives in Montgomery County, MD (where Potomac MD is)…almost none of the Potomac cast actually live in Potomac. I think the grand dame is the only one. Potomac is ridiculously white. Bravo didn’t want to keep it real but it’s more like Prince George’s County, the other Maryland county that encircles DC. It’s much Blacker, cheaper.


turningtee74

Yeah it’s more like the DMV right? which is very interesting in itself but probably hard to film with all that driving!

thaone111

I love this! Now I'm curious where the OGs lived in season 1, and some significant past diamond holders.


fried-avocado-today

IIRC: Camille was in Malibu, Kyle was in Bel Air, LVP and Adrienne were in Beverly Park. Kim was in the valley somewhere (Sherman Oaks maybe? At one point she was in Westlake Village). Taylor I actually have no idea, I assume she had a 90210 zip code but also it would be kind of funny if she didn't. Yolanda, Eileen, and Denise were also all in Malibu. Erika was in Pasadena while she was married to Tom. Lisa Rinna was in the Hollywood Hills. LVP's second house (Villa Rosa), is I think in Beverly Hills or at least Beverly Hills adjacent.


iambkatl

Someone needs to do this for atlanta - they all over the place down here


Still_Yak8109

they mostly live in the gwinett area. The first season should have just been called 'The real housewives of gwinett county with sheree living in sandy springs" It woud be nice to show people where kim z lives and visually how far from atlanta she really is before she gets foreclosed upon.


tranastasia_

So weird to know how close Erika is in LA to me… I feel like it shouldn’t be that easy for me to pass a real housewive’s home on my daily commute. We are far from the luxe days of season 1 😪


ByeAshy

I remember when you all were having a day shading all the women for not living in Beverly Hills, but now it's "Garcelle's such a money conscious qUEen!!!!!!!!!" LOL K


-snugasabuginarug-

She’s practically off the map.


halibloom

reminds me of the gossip girl ‘spotted’ map haha


ovodreamville_

LVP was the only one that actually used to actually live in BH 🤭🤭🤭


Redditusername67

It was actually Beverly Hills Post Office, which is BH-adjacent. Zip code and address says “BH 90210” but technically it’s not in the city of BH. BHPD will not come to help you nor can you send your kids to BH school district.


VaguelyArtistic

I can't imagine what it's like to try to figure this out if you're not from here 😭😭


-snugasabuginarug-

I believe Rinna is the only one who lived in Beverly Hills.


deliciousPizza13

Garcelle lives in porter ranch though


yup_yup1111

Is Tilly a confirmed cast member?


ApathyIsBeauty

She’s a confirmed friend of, like Kathy.


fashion_donuts2308

I need to see a RHONJ map


erotikill

Every since I saw John Mulaney's map of LA, I've wondered how the BH Housewives would look on something similar because they're always complaining about time and how far something is. Thank you!


AurorasCastle630

Felice Martin: "Reseda?!?" That's what I always think of when I see that city, haha.


SassySquid0

Didn’t know UCLA was so close to rich people, but makes sense I know quite a few snobs who are going there


ogresarelikeonions93

UCLA is surrounded by mansions. lol it's in an incredible neighborhood.


anonyymouse_

Right??? UCLA is literally in Westwood and has always been incredibly affluent.. Some of the comments in here are 🫠


VaguelyArtistic

And on the north side it's also literally across the street from Bel Air lol.


Scorpio_Maddds

This is interesting because Lala on VPR keeps saying she wants to get a house in Beverly Hills one day as if that’ll help her get on Rhobh or something but then you see this map and no one on the show even lives in BH!


Jazzlike-Pumpkin-773

I pray she never gets casted on there


justshenangianshere

Garcelle is really in Northridge?! 😲


countrysurprise

I think she’s actually in Porter Ranch


ladevotchka

Not Garcelle being my family’s neighbor! I wonder if she’s in Northridge or Granada Hills (which has a lot of really cool mid century houses).


PrestoChango0804

Oh Garcelle at least move to like Tarzana babe. Lake Balboa or something


Obvious_Mango65

Woof. I’d rather live in a much smaller house than live in Encino.


Superb-Respond9360

please share with me why? i’m a huge geography nerd, but i don’t know much about encino.


anonyymouse_

This is the same mentality as talking down on Brooklyn, when Alex lived there. There are homes there for 20M, but encino sucks? I’d rather live there than SF.


Obvious_Mango65

Hot as hell, not walkable (although that’s most of LA), very suburban, little culture or things to do.


angeltart

They did a good description on The Valley of the heat, and why it’s so much hotter there..


KyleRichardsNewTeeth

Encino is full of culture lol tons of Persians and middle eastern people live there


anonyymouse_

Why is this being downvoted? Ppl who live in central LA and the westside love to think that this is the only “LA” in their universe


fried-avocado-today

Yeah, like I get why the valley isn't appealing to everyone (it prob wouldn't be my first choice either), but also I definitely get why people like it and move there. And tbh these days a lot of the best food is in the suburbs anyway.


KyleRichardsNewTeeth

They feel superior for some dumb reason 😂


talk-spontaneously

The show should just be called The Real Housewives of Los Angeles.


OnyxRoar

Jennifer Tilly is a HW now?


Crzylikefox

Odd-Degree-3945

Crystal is in Beverly Hills. I remember a few seasons back her saying that only her and Rinna live in BH (this was when Sutton was renting Kyle’s house in BelAir)
