New York City and Los Angeles have long been the backdrops of iconic rom-coms. In Netflix’s latest flick Your Place or Mine, both cities set the scene for a life-changing home swap between best friends Debbie (Reese Witherspoon) and Peter (Ashton Kutcher). Of course, each city is vast. So, where exactly do our beloved characters call home? Ahead, take a look at everything we know about the dreamy settings.
Your Place or Mine” begins in 2003, and it feels like the kind of superficially agreeable and instantly forgettable romantic comedy that came out around that time.
writer-director Aline Brosh McKenna—who based the film on some of her own experiences—always pictured Peter living in Brooklyn’s Dumbo neighborhood. “Dumbo, once an area of old waterfront warehouse buildings, has transformed into million-dollar lofts and condos,” production designer Bill Arnold said in a press brief. He added: “It’s a very hip and trendy place, which Peter would be attracted to. At the last minute, we found this very beautiful building that would allow us to film inside their lobby and on their garden roof deck while the city would permit us to film outside on the sidewalks.”
