Haven't seen this posted yet unless I missed it, does this help? If someone builds it they can use it to create an entire physical floor plan of the apartment building.
Wait, what rooms are there in Wayne Manor besides the library with the clock/fireplace/parent portrait, his bedroom, and the door outside? And sometimes Alfred's room? And occasionally the graveyard is out the library window but sometimes it isn't. And somewhere on property is a big hole.

Found a better set pic. I guess all those layout pics are wrong that have the kitchen squared off with the rest of the living room, or that have a wall right behind the stove.
The portion of wall we see on the left could actually be the end of what conceals a short bending section. It's a trick of camera angles where that neighbor's apartment appears more immediately parallel than it is.For all your "Hallway could angle left" conspiracy nuts.
That reminds me, isn't there a Lego Seinfeld set coming this year?Haven't seen this posted yet unless I missed it, does this help? If someone builds it they can use it to create an entire physical floor plan of the apartment building.

I've yet to see a layout of this house, let alone that makes sense. I assume that the Banks remodeled the house after season 1 because so much changed, but I've seen people try and justify that the old rooms still exist somehow.
No it couldn't. The bend would have to begin less than a foot past Jerry's doorframe.
They're cheating the structural geography, it happens all the time in stage, film, and TV. Jerry's apartment is the way it is because it makes it easier to shoot in and allows for more camera setups with four actors. The T-Rex paddock in Jurassic Park changes from being flat to being a giant pit because it makes the scene better, and no, none of the stupid internet diagrams of it are correct or fix anything. It doesn't have to make sense, 99% of people are never going to notice, and most of the ones who do won't care.
I think this ruined the magic for me even more. I thought they were in an actual diner.
Here's the actual set. A completely straight hallway looks entirely possible.
The exposition shot outside the diner is real but yeah the interior is just a set

If Jerry's apartment was the house from the Navidson Record, then who was the
Looking through a lot of abandoned mansion exploration videos on YouTube, their mansion HAS to be much, MUCH bigger than that. My guess is the front is a hallway from the foyer that leads to the living room (and it has one staircase, likely one of the multiple staircases in the mansion), and then the kitchen. That would be just one side of the mansion if we are talking realistic terms. The other side might have an office, drawing/reception room, powder rooms, and such.
I sometimes think about this floor plan of Frasier's apartment. I think this is the originator's account here.

It's sometimes cursed knowledge. I can't watch the long take from Goodfellas without noticing that there was no reason for them to walk through the kitchen. The could have just gone straight into the club at the 1:00 mark instead of taking a left and making a circle.

A hundred times this man. Worse yet, I saw this long before watching the entire movie, so it was a poor introduction.
go into kitchen, take a left, right, right, then left. Hallway wall is now covered by some drape to look different.
To be utterly fair it is a three bedroom place and I've always thought that Fraser is rich. The most unrealistic parts about it are the sheer size of the living room and the five bathrooms
Years of practice as a psychiatrist and current job as a (presumably successful?) radio show host. Plus whatever his dad pitches in from his savings, presumably. Might have Niles contributing too since Fraiser is the one "caring" for their dad.
Granted, he'd have spent a lot on rent in Boston before that. Might be sending support to Lilith for his kid too. But he's obviously got some cash.
Nothing like logically spaced apartments and waiting for your wife to die so you can install your toxic ex as a surrogate
The real answer, honestly. You could probably "fix" the apartment layout so it can actually exist, but then it's not optimal to shoot in. It doesn't really make sense if you think about it. But it's just one of those things where once you know, you can never un-know.
How come nobody mentioned the single episode in the middle of the series where that hallway expand to fit an entire row of apartments?
