ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The house made famous by the “Breaking Bad” TV series is up for sale, and the owners of the otherwise unassuming home in one of Albuquerque’s older neighborhoods are hoping the property’s role in the long-running series will help them fetch a pretty penny.
The house, centered on mythical methamphetamine cookers Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, wrapped up more than a decade ago, but its legacy continues to draw looky-loos to the home and other associated filming spots around town. While “Breaking Bad” certainly has left its mark on New Mexico and this quiet block in Albuquerque, the listing is sure to reignite interest.Quintana said her parents purchased the home in the 1970s and that she and her siblings grew up there. As her parents got older and the show’s popularity skyrocketed, it became harder to protect them. The family was forced to put up a metal fence and install security cameras to keep fans at bay.“This was our family home from 1973, almost 52 years,” she told the station. “So we’re going to walk away with just our memories. It’s time to move on. We’re done. There’s no reason to fight anymore.”It was 2006 when a film scout first approached Quintana’s mother about shooting a pilot episode at the home. Within months, the equipment was set up and filming began. The homeowners had a hard time keeping fans from attempting their own pizza tosses or trying to sneak dips in the iconic backyard pool.The housing market in New Mexico’s largest city certainly isn’t what it would have been when Walter White was applying for a mortgage, and the price paid by Quintana’s parents five decades ago is unimaginable now. The median price in the Albuquerque area is approaching $400,000, andSome online real estate calculators put the estimated market value of the four-bedroom ranch-style home at just over $340,00
