NYC Townhouse Featured in Netflix Comedy ‘Uncoupled’ Lists for Nearly $12 MillionThe four-bedroom, two-bathroom abode was originally listed for sale in January 2025 with a sky-high asking price of $3.99 million.

At the time, the property was valued at less than a tenth of that sum. Yet the listing remained with that asking price for nearly a year before being removed at the end of the year. It has now returned with a dramatically reduced ask of just $400,000—just a few thousand dollars over the property’s estimated value. In its listing, the property is described as being ideal for both “avid fans” of the show—or “a local family looking for your next home,” noting that the dwelling is ideally located in an “established neighborhood” on the outskirts of the New Mexico city. “The property features a practical layout and a welcoming feel, making it well suited for both relaxed living and entertaining, both indoors and out,” the description continues. “Enjoy looking at the top of the Sandias from the lovely backyard pool.” What the listing does not mention, however, is homeowner Joanne Quintana’s somewhat complicated relationship with the property—which she has lived in since childhood. Quintana’s parents, Fran and Louis Padilla purchased the home as their family residence in 1973, before passing it down to their daughter, who now resides there with her own family. For many years, the home was largely ignored by passersby—until her family agreed to allow “Breaking Bad” producers to use the home’s facade in their show. when she listed the home in 2025. “You got to meet the actors, the actresses. You got to see how they set up the equipment and what it all takes.”The Albuquerque, New Mexico, property that served as the home for iconic “Breaking Bad” character Walter White is back on the market with its initial asking price cut by over $3 million.However, as the popularity of the series, which premiered in 2008 and ran for five seasons, grew, so did the public’s fascination with lead character Walter’s home. Visitors began arriving in droves to the property, a phenomenon that Quintana admitted she initially enjoyed. But then their behavior became more brazen. “The fans started coming. We would go out there, my mother and I, and we would take pictures with them,” she shared. Then, one day, at “around 4:30 in the morning,” the doorbell rang and Quintana’s mother discovered a package on their doorstep. It was addressed to Walter White at the Padilla family home. Her parents were concerned about the package’s contents and contacted the bomb squad, she recalled. Soon after, the family erected a large fence around the property to keep visitors at bay.“My brothers said, ‘That’s it, we’re done, fence is going up. That’s too close for comfort,’” Quintana said. However, the fence has done little to deter people from driving past, nor has it prevented emboldened visitors from flinging whole pizzas onto the roof in an attempt to reenact one of the most iconic scenes in “Breaking Bad.”Quintana and her family have earned global infamy for their furious reactions to some of the people who drive past the home. Viral videos show them screaming at people who get too close to the property or attempt to throw pizzas onto their roof., which was entitled “Hanging out with the ‘Breaking Bad’ lady,” Quintana could be seen spraying onlookers with a hose as they stood just beyond the fence surrounding her home, as someone in the background yelled, “Yeah, get ’em Joanne!”The description of the listed property details that it is an ideal spot for “avid fans” of the show—or “a local family looking for your next home.”Later on in the video, she is seen sitting on a chair outside the front of the home, urging fans to back away as they try and snap photographs of the property. “You can take a picture from that corner, do not get close,” she tells them. “And no tripod, no nothing, just a quick snap and leave. One picture, then you go.” Speaking to KOB4, Quintana revealed that some of her anger toward these antics was due to the devastating circumstances she was facing at home, where her parents’ health was steadily deteriorating. “Nobody knew that there was two people very sick, eventually on hospice, and eventually passed away,” she shared. Having lived her entire life in this home, Quintana said she is now ready to move on. She expressed hope that a new buyer will give the show’s fans what they want by turning the property into a themed vacation rental or a museum. “This was our family home from 1973, almost 52 years. So we’re going to walk away with just our memories. It’s time to move on. We’re done. There’s no reason to fight anymore,” she said. “I hope they make it what the fans want. They want a B&B, they want a museum, they want access to it. Go for it.” “What was funny was Bryan Cranston could not eat, not one cookie,” she revealed. “Because he had cancer in the show, so he was losing weight. So he would pass, but everybody, all the directors, all the writers would eat the cookies. Quintana, whose family were privy to the behind-the-scenes action on set, shared a fun fact about the iconic pizza scene. The crew had dozens of pies lined up on the street outside the home in case Cranston failed to achieve the roof toss.Actress Jennifer Esposito loses home she mortgaged to finance movie: 'I've been crying'Bald Jonah Hill is unrecognizable as he shows off beard and slim figure in new movie with Keanu ReevesJill Biden’s ex-husband charged with murdering his wife: report The Albuquerque, New Mexico, property that served as the home for iconic"Breaking Bad" character Walter White is back on the market with its initial asking price cut by over $3 million.The description of the listed property details that it is an ideal spot for"avid fans" of the show—or"a local family looking for your next home."
