One of the show's deep ironies is how a rising Southwestern Scarface remains occupied with dramas that one would expect to play out in an utterly average three-bedroom suburban home--what needs fixing, whose car is parked outside, when his wife coming home. Life and death standoffs are harrowing, sure, but they ride sidecar to Walt White's ostensible main concern, which is family, and keeping them together means keeping house.

Jesse gets thrown out of his aunt's Spanish Colonial in the first season, but ends up blackmailing his parents into selling it to him at less then half of their asking price. Ironically enough, this house was actually sold during production of the second season, forcing the crew to construct a set that replicated the interiors. [Photo via WallDruggie/Flickr]

Known as Octopus Car Wash to non-fictional Albuquerquians, this handsome horned structure is where Walt works part-time in the pilot to supplement his meager teacher's salary. It gets brought back later and plays a much bigger role than viewers initially imagined, which is how a lot of things work in Breaking Bad. [Photo via WallDruggie/Flickr]

Walt teaches chemistry in this red clay brick building in the early seasons. Fun fact: showrunner Vince Gilligan named this fictional high school after the real-life elementary school he attended in Farmville, Va. [Photo via WallDruggie/Flickr]

The L-shaped 80s motel known as the Crossroads is effectively synonymous with Wendy, the hard-living woman of negotiable affections who rooms there. Together they get lovingly profiled in the intro to Season 3's "Half Measures," and they're still standing, if nothing else, despite the last few decades having left them looking a little worse for wear.

Here's the colorfully graffitied coffeehouse where Tuco Slamanca runs his low-level drug ring entirely on meth-addled rage. [Photo via WallDruggie/Flickr]

The Schrader's handsome Pueblo-style abode, decorated throughout in Marie's signature purple, may have started off as a minor locale in Season 2, but by the final season it's the backdrop for some of the series' best acting. [Photo via Nadine3112/Flickr]

Jesse makes purchase of a piece here in Season 2, although attentive viewers will recognize this hotdog shack—or at least the sign—from a drug-selling montage in the first season. Off-screen, the Dog House Drive-In is a popular spot with an above-average Yelp rating.

This curious building, which somewhat resembles adobe pottery, made brief appearances in Seasons 2 and 3 as the location for Jesse's rehab. In reality, the structure houses the spa at the Isleta Resort and Casino.

This brightly bordered Fring-owned fast food company gets its own commercial in the Season 3 episode "Kafkaesque." The real-life restaurant used in the exterior shots is a Mexican place called Twisters, which has the Hermano's logo forever enshrined on a wall inside.

Jesse gives his rebound girlfriend the money to buy this humble single-story home in Season 4, effectively defining their relationship as less of a romantic thing and more of a symbolic and guilt-based thing. [Photo via WallDruggie/Flickr]

Hector "Tio" Salamaca spends his days at this currently empty assisted living facility after the passing of his nephew. It's also where the Gus Fring saga reaches its explosive conclusion in the final episode of Season 4, aptly and hilariously titled "Face Off." [Photo via WallDruggie/Flickr]

The final front for Walt and Jesse's meth-manufacturing operation is little more than a dingy-looking garage with a tiny office attached. It's used primarily for off-site storage and dire, backstabbing machinations. [Photo via Marc Valdez/Marc Valdez Weblog]

In a much-blogged-about scene from Season 5's "Confessions," an over-eager server interrupts one of the series' tensest encounters with overtures of tableside guacamole. The ensuing exchange not only coined the phrase "awkward guacamole," but also caused a spike in sales of the dish at the Albuqurque taquería, whose florid, bright decor is as ill-suited for confrontation as its waitstaff.

In Breaking Bad's Albuquerque, the west side of the John B. Robert dam is where you wait for a meeting with the "vacuum cleaner repairman." If you're not there alone when he pulls up, you can say goodbye to any chance you had of getting your "vacuum cleaner repaired." It's also the site of two of the final season's most iconic and thematically resonant shots, in which the dam's rows of gray cement blocks tellingly resemble a graveyard.
