We couldn\u2019t resist, and we\u2019ve brought back to life the How I Met Your Mother apartment where the good friend's Ted, Robin, Lily, Marshall, and Barney lived. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, what better way to pay tribute to one of the best comedies of all time than by recreating the apartment and looking back on its iconic set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, here\u2019s our take on the apartment of TV\u2019s most beloved group of friends (well, after Friends<\/a>, of course).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About The HIMYM Apartment Set<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apartment 4C is where Ted Mosby, a New York City architect, and the other cast members lived throughout the series. Consisting of a living room, two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a kitchen, it\u2019s located on the third floor above a bar in Manhattan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The apartment also has access to the roof of the building, which is seen in some episodes. Here\u2019s the floor plan of the HIMYM apartment we created in the RoomSketcher App:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"HIMYM<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the nine seasons, Ted\u2019s roommates rotated between cast members. We followed the lives and antics of long-time couple Marshal and Lily, the eccentric playboy Barney, and the news anchor Robin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Messy Living Room<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ted\u2019s living room is messy and cluttered. One of the most memorable furniture items is the couch, which was placed in the middle of the living room and was often the epicenter of the action. At the start of the TV series, it was a brown leather couch with a red throw blanket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"HIMYM<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then, at some point, it morphed into a reddish-orange couch. While we can\u2019t compare it to the iconic Barcaloungers in Friends, it played a vital role throughout the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ever-Changing Kitchen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Painted in a creamy yellowish-beige hue, Ted\u2019s kitchen in the HIMYM apartment is also incredibly cluttered. The cupboards were often left open, and we could see the shelves filled with jars, tins, and spices. The refrigerator is covered in photos, and cooking and cleaning items were often left on the counters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cluttered Bathroom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Painted in the same shade as the kitchen, Ted\u2019s bathroom is small and messy just like the rest of the apartment. Grooming products line every inch of the space.
Though small, the bathroom was still an essential part of the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember when Lily and Marshall spent an entire episode in the bathroom making plans during their anniversary? Or the time in Season 3 when Lily rescued Missy the goat from school, and it ended up in the HIMYM bathroom?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ted\u2019s Bedroom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ted Mosby\u2019s bedroom is dominated by his favorite possessions. While the Star Wars posters and decorative elements show Ted\u2019s interests and hobbies, his collection of architectural books depicts his profession and his dream of designing a skyscraper that would be part of the famous Manhattan skyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Is the \u2018How I Met Your Mother\u2019 Apartment Located?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The writers of HIMYM never provided fans with the exact address of the apartment, but they gave us a few clues. The apartment is situated above McLaren\u2019s, the bar where the cast members often hung out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McLaren\u2019s is based on a real bar called McGee\u2019s\u2014a place with muraled walls and comfy booths on West 55th Street. Other clues lead us to believe that the HIMYM apartment is located on the Upper West Side, as the 86th Street subway station is the closest subway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, who knows, but somewhere in Manhattan is enough for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Much Would the HIMYM Apartment Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Upper West Side of Manhattan is a prime neighborhood filled with parks and green spaces, cool restaurants, and art galleries. Rent in Manhattan<\/a> is expensive, so the HIMYM apartment, with its living space of more than 1,000 square feet (about 100 m2) could cost over $4,000 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the HIMYM Apartment Real?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the TV series, the group hangs out at McLaren\u2019s or in the apartment. For us, these were real places. So, imagine how we felt when we found out the show was filmed in a Los Angeles studio<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
