Dominic, Brian, Mia and Jack are still living in the Toretto house in Los Angeles following their pardons from the DSS. After their house was blown up by Deckard Shaw, Dom sent Mia and Jack to the Dominican Republic for protection, while he and the rest of the crew worked with the Agency, a covert ops organization, to apprehend Shaw. The residence is, according to Property Shark, the second-largest house in all of Los Angeles. One location that I am asked about constantly is the mid-century modern-style, circular-shaped home that served as the LAPD/FBI undercover headquarters in the 2001 flick The Fast and the Furious. BE WARNED – If you go here and try to drag race, cops hang out on motorcycles right at the intersection just looking for wannabe street racers.
"One Last Ride" - Templin Highway
Following the completion of their mission to take down Owen Shaw's Team, Luke Hobbs managed to get official pardons for the whole crew. With their records being cleaned/erased, the crew make their way to Los Angeles once more, with Dominic reacquiring their old house. The Torettos continued to run Toretto's Market & Cafe, which serviced their neighborhood.
The House In The Movies
The race car is no longer on the roof, of course, and the signs are down, so it’s now a rather plain-looking warehouse-style building. It is immediately north of a brick building (which is also seen in the film) – the address of that brick building is 1046 N. Before 2022, the Toretto House was rebuilt, allowing Dominic to live there peacefully with Letty and Brian Marcos.

While the building’s address actually faces Santa Monica Blvd., the filmmakers shot the west side (the back of the building), which faces Orange Drive. In a city that has been so thoroughly captured on film over the past 100 years or so, it’s easier to find a place that hasn’t appeared in a movie or TV show than one that has. It’s not entirely clear why, other than the obvious fact that the movies are juggernauts, a rare piece of monoculture in an increasingly fragmented time. The stunts are dope, sure, and there’s a big, meaty center to the Venn diagram of “people who are seriously into F&F” and “people who are likely to ignore a ‘don’t try this at home’ warning,” but there has to be more.
Letty's Funeral - Sunnyside Cemetery
As Frankie and Stephen begin to rebuild, Charlie says goodbye to Dalton as he waits for his bus out of town. Stephen discovers Dalton has left them the trunk of cash as the bus pulls away. In a mid-credits scene, Knox has survived and assaults the hospital staff, leaving in his gown. Frankie admits that Brandt has been buying up property to build an expensive resort, but she is the lone holdout.

The huge Alameda Square complex, once warehouses for the goods terminus of the Southern Pacific Railroad, is now reborn as ROW DTLA multi-use complex. At the Road House, Dalton fends off a motorcycle gang working for local crime boss Ben Brandt and personally drives the injured thugs to the hospital, where he meets Ellie, a doctor who tends to his injuries. Staying in Frankie's disused houseboat, Dalton mentors the other bouncers and becomes popular with the locals.
The house itself is blurred out on Google Maps, and the yard is decorated with handfuls of very clear “Keep Out” signs. And yet, on any given afternoon, a handful of tourists are almost always taking pictures, walking by slowly and pretending not to stare. Neighbors say the looky-loos don’t really bother them, except for the minor annoyance of sidewalk clutter and the regular appearance of double-parked cars and extra traffic in an already parking-challenged area. Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past twenty-plus years, the chances are you’ve seen at least one of the Fast and the Furious movies and will recognise the Fast and the Furious house that features heavily throughout the franchise.

The clapboard corner market owned by Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) in The Fast and the Furious, where “no one likes the tuna,” is actually Bob’s Market in Echo Park. The small bodega was constructed by George F. Colterison in 1913 and was designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #215 in June 1979. Both the interior and the exterior of Bob’s were used in the filming of The Fast and the Furious, though the interior was dressed heavily for the shoot and is largely unrecognizable from its onscreen appearance.

Go On Location: Los Angeles Locations from The Fast and the Furious Movies
That same road also masked as the Dominican Republic freeway where Dom and Letty steal gas from fuel tankers in the opening scene of Fast & Furious. One of the most unique and memorable locations in The Fast and the Furious unfortunately no longer exists. The circular-shaped, Mid-Century Modern home that served as the LAPD/FBI undercover headquarters in the movie was demolished shortly after filming took place. Though Sgt. Tanner (Ted Levine) states in the film that Eddie Fisher had the residence built for Elizabeth Taylor in the 1950s, in actuality the house was constructed in 1963 by architect David Fowler and bears no Taylor-Fisher connection.
Initially hesitant, Dalton takes up the offer after narrowly averting a suicide attempt with a freight train that destroys his car. He takes a bus to Frankie's establishment, called simply The Road House, and befriends Charlie, a teenager who runs a bookstore with her father, Stephen. After Dominic and his crew were found guilty for their truck hijackings, Dom, Leon and Vince fled Los Angeles, with Vince heading to South America and Dom fleeing to Mexico, with Letty going after him.
In one of the movie’s most picturesque scenes, the gang stands against a guardrail overlooking the Downtown L.A. Skyline and discusses how to take down Jakande (Djimon Hounsou) on their own turf. That guardrail can be found in the southern portion of the stadium’s parking lot. “A lot of the bonding took place at that house,” Rob Cohen, the director of the original installment, The Fast and the Furious (2001), tells Yahoo Movies. “It’s rare to do a movie and actually return to the authentic and original location,” Diesel observes in a behind-the-scenes video for Furious 7.
It’s the ocean view, outdoor beach cafe where Vin Diesel and Paul Walker stop (after they have outraced the obnoxious rich guy in his Ferrari on PCH) and where Paul tries to get Diesel to disclose how he secretly makes the big bucks. Neptune’s Net is located at Pacific Coast Highway in a somewhat remote section of Malibu, about 10 miles west of Point Dume. The large Asian archway they drive under in Little Saigon is not the same color anymore, and the marble statues have been removed to make more room for parking. In the film, Toretto’s is owned by Vin Diesel and his sister; it’s where they first meet Paul Walker when he’s ordering a tuna (with no crust) sandwich. Before their final confrontation, Dominic went to the garage and prepared his Charger and other weapons for his battle with Deckard. With the huge popularity of the Fast and the Furious franchise, the home of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) became a tourist spot for fans.
In the movies, the address is “1327.” But in real life, it’s 724 — 724 East Kensington Road, Los Angeles, to be exact. The home is situated in a hilly section of the city, just a few blocks east of Dodger Stadium and two miles north of downtown L.A. The two cars are heading east on Terminal Way, starting around Cannery Street and racing east past the railroad tracks at Earle Street. Paul Walker and Vin Diesel wind up (after the truck accident) out of their cars on the east end of Terminal Way, near Ferry Street, where you can see the large pipe which (in real life) transports coal and coke to waiting ships.
