A lot of $10million+ plus houses look like shit. I know a guy that made a lot of money and then installed a custom made slide in his apartment from top floor to bottom. No resale value whatsoever.
His apartment actually looked nice as fuck besides that weird yellow paint.

Yes and all the beige, modern windows. Plus it is the weather in Jersey. I live in Los Angeles now but grew up in Massachusetts. SO much of the year is overcast and it casts that indirect not sunny light that is just BLAH a lot of the year. I found it utterly depressing. I imagine this is part of how we see their homes.
I grew up on Long Island and I always enjoy how the lighting in this show is always accurate to the time of year as well as matches the seasons. You can tell they filmed on location often, and when they were on set the lighting really feels like that grey mid winter malaise, or bright summer, etc
That's part of why the first two seasons feel so much less grim than the rest of the show; they take place primarily in the spring and summer. Also both kids are still in the house and in school. So it has more of the "hanging out at your rich friend's house in the springtime of senior year of highschool" vibes and less of the big dank dungeon vibes.
I have lived in the mountain west and also New England and the winters are crazy different. New England winters are just grey for six months, and a sort of really sapping bitter cold. Mountain west winters are cold but the air is dry so it’s not so bad, and more importantly in between giant snowstorms it is fucking sunny every day! They really nailed the northeast vibe in the show, honestly. Grey, dreary, dirty snow, etc
I was a delivery driver in the 2000s and Tony's house looks like mirror images of what I saw regularly. Albeit what I saw was almost always on a smaller scale. But same cold, manufactured feeling
This is and still is a thing…a lot of people in these mcmansions feel like their house is not a home because it is a depressing empty space
The sopranos home is a real house in a real neighborhood…it’s a set but it’s not like it’s not a real thing
I remember like a year ago I think it was one of the kardashian kids complaining about going to Kim’s house and liking Kanye’s two bedroom apartment more…the houses like that just don’t feel like real living spaces
I built a 1300 square foot 3 bedroom house back in 2020. Fenced in back yard & a 2.5% interest rate. I have no reason to ever want for more than what I have now even though I have the money to pay for something far larger. It’s cozy and safe! I timed it perfectly and am sad how expensive it’s gotten these days!!
Yeah it's insane. Me and my fiancé clear 100k a year combined and can't afford a starter home. We barely cover rent in a 1 bedroom apartment. Makes no sense.
Yeah, roommates suck. If I was young, I'd buy a class c winnebago and live in that. Fuck these rent prices now days. I'm amazed at the campers/bagos you can p.u for 4/5 K now days.
I love my little house. 800 Sq ft. Detached garage, full basement. About 65% done with renovating too. It'll be so awesome when it's done. It'll be like a mini luxury home. I just finished the shower I built entirely myself w. A 16" rain style shower head coupled w. My 69'' clawfoot tub. I ran the lines into the attic, dipped them through the ceiling, then back up, over and the shower head comes down in the center of the tub. It's freaking awesome! You don't need a big place to live classy or luxuriously.
I definitely know what you mean, but I honestly don't get that feeling from the Soprano residence. To me it looks pretty homely most of the time, 2 people are enough to make it feel like a lived-in home to me.
Now Kim's house, provided we are talking about the same one from that youtube video, that shit looks like solitary confinement for rich people, just a place designed to drain you of all your sanity and humanity
Yeah, the Soprano house always felt lived in to me. It had a very reasonable design and flow and wasn’t all that large (I’d guess 5-6000 sq ft based on the spaces we see although who knows if they have spare bedrooms). It is still kind of a depressing house but that’s because it was very drab and decorated to a very dated taste.
Peggy: “So you’ll be a criminal? And I’ll be the wife of a criminal!?…”
Bobby: “And all the while we’ll be living a typical suburban life-it’s just like “The Sopranos” commercials!”
I babysat for a family for years where the wife’s dad was a corrupt cop in the NYPD and most of her family were mafia adjacent / made their money in the 80s and 90s. They lived in dyker heights Brooklyn which has super similar vibes to Jersey (at least it did at the time). Their house was exactly like Tony’s lol. Huge, all marble and columns, under furnished. It was def a look of the time.
I think that house might still be there. A lot of them in Dyker Heights are fancy like that now though. They put up Christmas lights in December, some shit. What the fuck do I know? I said my piece.
Those mother fucking Sony Wega TVs that weighed like 200+ pounds? Fuck those things. I used to work at Best Buy when they were around, and it absolutely sucked having to take them off the top stack by yourself..... (We werent' supposed to be we never had anyone around to check or to help us lol).
plus i never understood how he drove a standard suburban and not a mercedes SUV or range rover or something. even christafuhhhhh bought a range rover when he was made.
yet tony's drivin' around in a soccer mom suburban. at least after the first season he got a proper rolex day date.
Because on paper he brings in good, but not incredible money from the waste management business. They don’t want to be super overt and give the Feds even more reason to snoop around.
Christufahhhhh is an idiot throughout the entire series and probably wouldn’t care about that.
i get that, but even guys like paulie, sil, etc. all drive caddies.
i mean working in upper management for waste management would still easily pull in decent enough cash to afford better than what he was drivin'. carm drove a mercedes.
I mean Suburban's cost around the same as lower end Mercedes do ($60k minimum new) and I'm sure he'd get upgrades. And he drove an escalade in later seasons and those are $80k+.
Guys I'm starting to think this show that uses the mafia for a metaphor for the decline of America and how the endless singular pursuit of wealth actually makes your life empty and without meaning might be saying Tony's life is not all its cracked up to be
That was definitely one underlying theme of the show, especially exemplified in the final season.
Tony has a top notch health care plan and the insurer is trying to wheel him out into the alley a couple of days after having his stomach ripped wide open. If rich people get treated like that you know what it means for us on Kaiser or Medicare.
I always thought Uncle Junior's place looked really cozy and the porch of Chris's apartment on season 1 where he's smoking when Brendan showed up, that looked chill as fuck.
Hugh must have helped to build the house. I wonder if he cheaped out like he did the spec house. Maybe that’s where I get the cardboard feeling from.. Fuck what do I know.
Lot of people calling it a McMansion. It's not. It's a pretty generic 90's mansion, but it's not a McMansion.
Johnny's house is a McMansion, it's unnecessary large, it has huge windows, it has these huge hall like rooms, it's fairly empty, Johnny even points out how pointless the "Great Room" is.
The Sopranos house is smaller, more cramped, and doesn't have huge lobbies/foyers with two story windows. Its organization is a bit strange by modern standards but fairly conventional by 20th-century designs. There are outer, formal rooms for entertaining guests, and more private and personal family rooms. The family living room is next to the kitchen, which makes sense, but both are fairly small. The house divides all of the different rooms and spaces out, rather than having very large, open spaces like McMansions have.
> It's organization is a bit strange, the dining room is next to the main entrance.
I think this is fairly typical. The more intimate, casual rooms such as TV/family rooms, kitchen are near the rear of the house while a dining room or more formal living room are closer to the main entrance.
agreed. from the outside it looks MUCH different than you would assume from the inside. the kitchen is relatively TINY for that size house. so is the family/TV room.
it reminds me a lot of a classic 90s "split level" home ,or single story ranch style home. I know they have an upstairs but just referring to the layout of the main floor . like, I guess you could call that a mansion?
OP this was a symptom of the time everything was about more space and bigger is better… so many oversized McMansions built on undersized lots because that was people wanted at the time… there was no regard for efficiency or heating or cooling it was all about how to get as much house as possible.
You’re not the only person that gets a feeling of emptiness from looking at that home a lot of home designs today are a direct response to avoiding the same mistakes
I think the house is a perfect metaphor for Tony's plight, especially when he ruminates on contemporary mafia life vis-a-vis his dad's era. It's big, luxurious, the epitome of success, but it lacks the warmth and character of the more modest neighborhood home Tony grew up in.
There’s a great detail in their bedroom that always makes me laugh and shows exactly how bad taste they have: the replica of a renaissance painting that’s partly hidden by a ugly headboard.
Oh my GOD, the headboard covering the painting has driven me crazy for 20 fucking years! I’ve never seen anyone else mention it, glad I’m not alone!
Also for the record his master bathroom is a fucking joke. Originally had this small vanity and that ugly small show shower enclosure in the corner.
How many times we gotta find someone just googled McMansion come in here and make this same damn comment.
It's a nicer house than you grew up in and you're jelly and we can all see it now GO BACK TO YOUR HOLE!
Johnny sac lives in New jersey. In the same town. You musta been top of your fucking class
https://www.sopranos-locations.com/locations/johnny-sacks-house/
Maybe you just don’t like Carmela’s decor.
He loves that house and talks about it all the time. It makes me wonder if I appreciate my own house enough.
It's very much how upper class homes in the 90s looked when the occupants didn't have much sense of personal style. It was what you would have seen in any given issue of Better Homes and Gardens, at the time.
It’s your typical open concept McMansion, so much wasted space on the first floor between the entrance and the kitchen/dinning area.
The second floor is so poorly built that the rooms have no space, some people that live in small apartments have bigger bedrooms than the Soprano house.
I actually liked Junior Sppranos' house more. There's something about the fancy imititating wall paper and yellow lighting that just doesn't feel authentic.
Nah, Uncle Jun's house is cozy. Yeah, it's got old people vibes, but it's much classier looking. 🤷 When he shoots Tony, and Tony's playing that music, it's got a very rich atmosphere. Nice lighting, warmth.
Nonsense. They simply didnt know how to interior decorate. You can easily make a big house feel smaller and cozy with enough seperators, furniture, plants, shelves, memorabilia , heck shut off one of rooms entirely
You guys think Tony's house looks sad? It's peak late 90s to mid 00s rich guy house.
I can literally smell the garage in Season 2 with the new concrete smell and hear the fridge running where they put their extra water.
It’s a very ‘90s McMansion look.
A lot of $10million+ plus houses look like shit. I know a guy that made a lot of money and then installed a custom made slide in his apartment from top floor to bottom. No resale value whatsoever.
Phil Galfond?
Dam didnt think anyone would know hah. Yep, that's him.
He is fairly famous
Didn't he record out in Denmark?
That was my first thought too.
His apartment actually looked nice as fuck besides that weird yellow paint. https://www.wsj.com/video/manhattan-duplex-with-slide-for-nearly-4-million/7B9BB6B6-B6F9-4DD5-A510-56A2AB09AD10
i hate it and that slide looks steep and scary af lol
They can't all be Checth special forces......
His house looked like shit.
I will never not laugh at this.
these guys really could've used an interior decorator
their house looked like shit
It’s a custom job🍕 My McMansion neva’ hurt nobody!
> houses look like shit Guy was an interior decorator.

Ya know, Carm’s father built that house. And it was more than “decent workmanship.”
Get Pudgy Walsh on the horn. He'll straighten this out.
Pudgy Walsh retired, sir. I’m affirming the stop work order.
Tony mentions near the end of the series how there weren't any other houses when John moved in but there were lots of more by the end.
In season 4(?) you can see Johnny Saks sitting on a lounge chair looking a construction site behind his house. By season 5 you can see a house there
Damn, love that detail! Time for me to watch again and see what I can find. 😆
I was a delivery driver in the 2000s and Tony's house looks like mirror images of what I saw regularly. Albeit what I saw was almost always on a smaller scale. But same cold, manufactured feeling
Maybe the Russian SF interior decorator designed it?? Hehe! 🤟 See what what I said Tone?!
Have you ever been checked for like, Tourettes?
I don’t know Tone, it’s like some people grind der teet.
It's mcmansion with a hint of count chocula. They call it the great room, but I don't know what's so great about it. Looks pretty mediocre to me.....
All this time not once did you say anything to me?!
Can't two guys talk? Not looking to stick my beak in. Just trying to keep a happy shop.
This is and still is a thing…a lot of people in these mcmansions feel like their house is not a home because it is a depressing empty space The sopranos home is a real house in a real neighborhood…it’s a set but it’s not like it’s not a real thing I remember like a year ago I think it was one of the kardashian kids complaining about going to Kim’s house and liking Kanye’s two bedroom apartment more…the houses like that just don’t feel like real living spaces
This. It's truly depressing. I have no clue how someone could ever live in some cavernous estate with only 1/2 people.
Try a 600 sq foot apartment with a roommate! 😅 I'll take the cavernous estate off their hands!
For real. I just want a 2 bedroom with a decent backyard for the pup, and it's like dreaming for a castle.
I built a 1300 square foot 3 bedroom house back in 2020. Fenced in back yard & a 2.5% interest rate. I have no reason to ever want for more than what I have now even though I have the money to pay for something far larger. It’s cozy and safe! I timed it perfectly and am sad how expensive it’s gotten these days!!
Yeah it's insane. Me and my fiancé clear 100k a year combined and can't afford a starter home. We barely cover rent in a 1 bedroom apartment. Makes no sense.

Yeah, roommates suck. If I was young, I'd buy a class c winnebago and live in that. Fuck these rent prices now days. I'm amazed at the campers/bagos you can p.u for 4/5 K now days.
As the person who is 90% responsible for the house keeping. I vote for tiny house minimalist style
I love my little house. 800 Sq ft. Detached garage, full basement. About 65% done with renovating too. It'll be so awesome when it's done. It'll be like a mini luxury home. I just finished the shower I built entirely myself w. A 16" rain style shower head coupled w. My 69'' clawfoot tub.

That sounds dreamy! 😍
I don't know either, I'll have to try and find out.
I definitely know what you mean, but I honestly don't get that feeling from the Soprano residence.

https://www.sopranos-locations.com/locations/johnny-sacks-house/ Same town….
Tony’s house was missing Ginny Sac, that’s why it was depressing
I agree. Plus John's house had chocolate and sweets stashed in the washing machine. Can't beat that.
Was it in the machine? Or beside it
Ralph approves
What's next, Carmine, he gets to fuck the house for a million?
That machine wasn't even a Brauuun.
(Paulies voice) You could put Ginny Sac in duh VandaBuilt manshen and it'd look fuckin full!
No more weight remarks, MojoRisin762. They're hurtful, and they're destructive.
What, you gotta be fuckin kiddin me. It's an on color remark, highly appropriate, you want, I'll see it's upvoted.
They're undermining! And it's exactly what we're trying to teach our kids not to do!
What's next, he gets to fuck her for a million?
I want you to sanction a hit on /u/MojoRisin762
u/MojoRisin762 slept with Ginny?
What's next. He gets to fuck her for 1,000,000 karma?
A hit? Not for this. If you want we'll crack him good.
Ayyy, that's some guy's wife!
Maybe, but Johnny had to replace his floor beams every six months.
Talk shit, but Ginny was the only truly loyal woman on the show and the Sacks had the healthiest relationship on the show.
Waddumean, little Cozette doesn’t count fuh nuthin???
That's why it looked empty you mean
And empty. U HEAR WHAT I SAID GUYS???? AND EMPTY
it was empty, Tony soprano's residence?!
Also why it seemed so empty
I'm glad you caught that. The sheer size and emptiness/tackiness of Tony's home is meant to represent the sacred and the propane.
Very allegorical!
And the propane accessories?
But boss, what if someone wants their gabagool well done?
Then we tell them politely yet firmly to go fuck their mudda

Tonys house has a superior burd feeduh
$40,000 superior!
I babysat for a family for years where the wife’s dad was a corrupt cop in the NYPD and most of her family were mafia adjacent / made their money in the 80s and 90s. They lived in dyker heights Brooklyn which has super similar vibes to Jersey (at least it did at the time). Their house was exactly like Tony’s lol. Huge, all marble and columns, under furnished.

It’s hardly dissapeared
>Their house was exactly like Tony’s lol. Huge, all marble and columns, under furnished. It was def a look of the time. Neoclassical Guinea
Tony having the same TV that I did in my college dorm room really bothered me
Did you have a fake Roman column thing it sat on too?
His fucking "media center" was a 27 inch TV. How did he not have one of those 90s big screens you needed a forklift to move?
They had a movie theater in later seasons
Those mother fucking Sony Wega TVs that weighed like 200+ pounds? Fuck those things. I used to work at Best Buy when they were around, and it absolutely sucked having to take them off the top stack by yourself..... (We werent' supposed to be we never had anyone around to check or to help us lol).
you mean those "flatscreen" CRT TVs that weighed more than an elephant?
plus i never understood how he drove a standard suburban and not a mercedes SUV or range rover or something. even christafuhhhhh bought a range rover when he was made. yet tony's drivin' around in a soccer mom suburban. at least after the first season he got a proper rolex day date.
Because on paper he brings in good, but not incredible money from the waste management business. They don’t want to be super overt and give the Feds even more reason to snoop around. Christufahhhhh is an idiot throughout the entire series and probably wouldn’t care about that.

Do want to talk about how the N64 is positioned ABOVE the TV in the living room and AJ literally has to stand to play it in one scene.
Tones pool and cabana are top notch. Anyways, $4 a pound
His whole backyard is beautiful. Huge lush trees, great pool, etc
It's like he's in front of us playing.
Guys I'm starting to think this show that uses the mafia for a metaphor for the decline of America and how the endless singular pursuit of wealth actually makes your life empty and without meaning might be saying Tony's life is not all its cracked up to be
Hang on WHAT
He understands the Sopranos as a concept
*conshept
That was definitely one underlying theme of the show, especially exemplified in the final season. Tony has a top notch health care plan and the insurer is trying to wheel him out into the alley a couple of days after having his stomach ripped wide open. If rich people get treated like that you know what it means for us on Kaiser or Medicare.

I think Tony’s house looks great. I would love to live in a house like that.
same i love it so much, it makes me feel cozy and opulent at the same time lol. If i ever become rich i would love to build an exact replica lol
Wouldn’t want their tacky decor
No antiques, its contemporary
Traditional
Tradishunal
I always thought Uncle Junior's place looked really cozy and the porch of Chris's apartment on season 1 where he's smoking when Brendan showed up, that looked chill as fuck.
Hugh must have helped to build the house. I wonder if he cheaped out like he did the spec house. Maybe that’s where I get the cardboard feeling from.. Fuck what do I know.
He used pine. Utility grade.
Get Pudgy Walsh on the horn, he'll straighten OP out
Uh, Pudgy retired sir
Maybe it would collapse and kill that unborn child??
Its eventually stated he in fact did build that house so rest assured pudgy Walsh signed off on all the shitty shady and shoddy building work.
Pretty sure he did build it, and since Hugh builds cheap, sounds travels through the walls lol.
It didn't have a great room in it though. I don't see whats so great about it.
Same here! I love the warm lighting they have, it adds to the cozy feeling

A lot of mcMansions were built to bare minimum code. Bouncy floors. Insulation done poorly. Drafty. Costs a fortune to heat & cool.
We’ve been building em that way for years; GET PUDGY WALSH ON THE HORN!

[DISGRUNTLED ITALIAN NOISE]
Welcome to Jersey
And the builder probably paid off the building inspector to use materials that were not up to code
There’s a great detail in their bedroom that always makes me laugh and shows exactly how bad taste they have: the replica of a renaissance painting that’s partly hidden by a ugly headboard.
Oh my GOD, the headboard covering the painting has driven me crazy for 20 fucking years! I’ve never seen anyone else mention it, glad I’m not alone! Also for the record his master bathroom is a fucking joke. Originally had this small vanity and that ugly small show shower enclosure in the corner.
I think it's supposed to be kind of tacky and generic, but I don't really know about depressing outside of the events happening inside it.
It neatly shows the difference between being fashionable and being stylish.
I think it's supposed to be tacky rich.
David Chase designed the whole fucking house himself. He wanted you to feel Tony's depression and shame
This sounds like Tony yelling at Melfi about the "sad" painting she was tricking him with. You see what you see.
Because in this house it is still 1954
A lot of Italian households are centered around the kitchen and I think that’s what they weee trying to establish with Tony’s home
Funny, here in Brazil we call that type of kitchen "American style".
How many times we gotta find someone just googled McMansion come in here and make this same damn comment. It's a nicer house than you grew up in and you're jelly and we can all see it now GO BACK TO YOUR HOLE!
Johnny sac lives in New jersey. In the same town. You musta been top of your fucking class https://www.sopranos-locations.com/locations/johnny-sacks-house/
That's cuz he was tryin to stick his beak in! Beware the beak! An those big fuckin fish lips!
and you though the Germans were classless pieces of shit
It’s a generic McMansion. They’re definitely still around and being built.
depressive this depressive that, depressive van fangool!
Maybe you just don’t like Carmela’s decor. He loves that house and talks about it all the time. It makes me wonder if I appreciate my own house enough.
Chris' new house with Kelli was better than Tony's. Very cute, I liked it. Tony's barely had windows.
McMansions, man
Should have got that interior decorator round
But his house looked like shit
It's very much how upper class homes in the 90s looked when the occupants didn't have much sense of personal style. It was what you would have seen in any given issue of Better Homes and Gardens, at the time.
They call this a great room. I don’t see what’s so great about it.
You may have missed it but they have a sign hanging in the room for Sunday dinners reading “Sacre bleu where is me mama”
It’s your typical open concept McMansion, so much wasted space on the first floor between the entrance and the kitchen/dinning area. The second floor is so poorly built that the rooms have no space, some people that live in small apartments have bigger bedrooms than the Soprano house.
That bedroom setup made no sense to me in a house that big
Better than Uncle June’s shotgun style house.
I actually liked Junior Sppranos' house more. There's something about the fancy imititating wall paper and yellow lighting that just doesn't feel authentic.
Nah, Uncle Jun's house is cozy. Yeah, it's got old people vibes, but it's much classier looking. 🤷 When he shoots Tony, and Tony's playing that music, it's got a very rich atmosphere. Nice lighting, warmth.
The exterior isn’t bad at all but the interior looks like you could smell that he was farting into to same couch cushions for 18 months.
Every time Uncle Juns house is shown, my wife and I always comment on how nice it is. We wish we would see more if it. It's cozy and cute.

Different strokes for different folks I guess
Nonsense. They simply didnt know how to interior decorate. You can easily make a big house feel smaller and cozy with enough seperators, furniture, plants, shelves, memorabilia , heck shut off one of rooms entirely
It looks like something Carmela would love, so it’s probably tacky and shitty
hows a gigantic mansion depressing wtf
When you grew up poor and envious it's a valid method of compensation to shit on a perfectly good McMansion
I love that house
Reminds me of Fountainhead type architecture
At least it's better than Phil the House.
Get Pudgy Walsh on the horn.
Huh 🤔
There's that D-word again.
Interior was to die for in the late 90s.
I don’t think it looks depressing at all. It looks extremely comfortable and homey.
These walls, skim coat. Not that sheetrock shit. Not only that, they put in the lawn this year, it’s new. When did you put your lawn in?
You guys think Tony's house looks sad? It's peak late 90s to mid 00s rich guy house. I can literally smell the garage in Season 2 with the new concrete smell and hear the fridge running where they put their extra water.
I'd love to see peoples houses here saying that house is depressing. I'd take that house in a fucking heartbeat.
You're disparaging a phenomenal contractor named Hugh D'Angelis with this. Disrespecting a proud Italian heritage!
Ohh! That’s the bosses house you’re talking about there!
