Kimmy Schmidt

The building standing at 74 Freeman Street in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn serves as the real-world exterior for the apartment home of Kimmy Schmidt in the television series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. While the show places the character in a fictional, gritty neighborhood called East Dogmouth, the actual location is a quiet, residential walkup building near the waterfront. During the show's production, the street often buzzed with film crews and cast members like Ellie Kemper, who noted that Kimmy's bright, eccentric wardrobe fit right in with the local style of the Greenpoint residents who walked past the set. The building itself is a standard piece of Brooklyn architecture, far more tranquil and expensive than the ramshackle apartment shown on screen.
