Apple TV+’s dark comedy crime drama Your Friends and Neighbors has become one of the streamer’s biggest hits since it premiered in April 2025. The series follows Andrew “Coop” Cooper, played by Jon Hamm, a hedge fund manager who loses his job and turns to burglary to keep up appearances in his wealthy suburb. The polished lawns, grand estates, country clubs, and designer interiors look almost too perfect to be real, which is exactly why viewers keep searching for the actual filming locations. Here is a complete breakdown of where the show was filmed, across both seasons.
About Your Friends and Neighbors
Your Friends and Neighbors is an American dark comedy crime drama created by Jonathan Tropper. Jon Hamm plays Andrew “Coop” Cooper, a wealthy, disaffected financier who resorts to stealing from his neighbors after getting fired from his job. The series premiered on Apple TV+ on April 11, 2025. It was renewed for a second season, which premiered on April 3, 2026, and in February 2026, ahead of that second season premiere, it was renewed for a third season.

The show is set in the upscale fictional suburb of Westmont Village, where Coop turns to burglary to maintain his lifestyle after losing his high-paying job and facing divorce.
Is Westmont village a real place?
No. Westmont Village is a fictional, affluent community. The show’s creator, Jonathan Tropper, was born in the Bronx and moved to New Rochelle after getting married and having kids. The fictional town of Westmont is widely believed to be based on the broader Westchester area. The production chose real estates, streets, country clubs, and suburban streets to bring it to life, and the result looks convincingly lived-in because it is.

The show was filmed mostly in the Hudson Valley and New York City, using actual estates to stand in for the fictional wealthy suburb of Westmont Village.
Sleepy Hollow Country Club (Woodlea Mansion), Briarcliff Manor
This is probably the most recognisable location in Your Friends and Neighbors and the one that sells the story’s old-money world most convincingly. The scenes of the characters playing golf were captured at the historic 140-room Woodlea mansion in Briarcliff Manor, a suburban village in Westchester County. Located at 777 Albany Post Road, the mansion sits on 338 acres of grounds and served as a perfect setting for the wealthy characters’ leisure time.
The building was completed in 1895 and was the 15th largest private house in America at the time. It was built for Margaret Louisa Vanderbilt Shepard, a member of the Vanderbilt family, and it currently serves as the clubhouse for the Sleepy Hollow Country Club.
Golf and country club scenes were shot at the historic Woodlea mansion at Sleepy Hollow Country Club. In the show, this is where characters meet for gossip during sessions disguised as tennis matches, power lunches, and high-society parties where someone is always hiding something behind a polite smile.
Rye, New York
Several scenes in Your Friends and Neighbors Season 1 were shot in Rye, a coastal New York city with a small-town American feel. One scene featuring Amanda Peet’s Mel Cooper sees her walking away from the Water Moon restaurant on Purchase Street. The show also filmed many of Mel and Coop’s scenes in Rye, including a shot of his Maserati driving through the streets and another of Mel grabbing coffee at Sunshine Coffee Roasters.
The scene with Coop driving his Maserati GranTurismo through the perfectly manicured Westmont Village neighbourhood was filmed on Purchase Street in Rye, located about 25 miles northeast of Manhattan.
Season 1 had scenes shot in Sunshine Coffee Roasters in Rye. Many other area businesses, like June and Ho and Water Moon, were also visible. Locals spotted Hamm and the rest of the cast around town during filming of both seasons.
The Cooper Family Mansion
The Cooper family house is a spacious 10,200-square-foot, six-bedroom, nine-bathroom home in Rye, Westchester County, just about 31 miles north of New York City. Built in 2009, it features a pool, tennis court, and putting green. The Cooper Family Mansion was filmed at a real estate in the Sterling Ridge neighbourhood in Harrison, New York. Originally designed by Rosario Candela in the 1930s, this Mediterranean-style mansion was once sold for over five million dollars.
New York City Locations
Some of the indoor filming for Your Friends and Neighbors Season 1 took place at the CBS Broadcast Center in Midtown Manhattan. Several of the actors and production workers posted behind-the-scenes looks at filming of the pawn shop scenes where Coop keeps returning, and some of the interiors of homes occupied by the main cast. There are also several shots of Coop on the streets of Manhattan both before and after losing his job.
The first episode opens with Andrew meeting Liv in an elegant bar, filmed at the RT60 Rooftop Bar and Lounge on the 34th floor of the Hard Rock Hotel in Midtown Manhattan. The exterior of Coop’s hedge fund firm was filmed at 767 Third Avenue in Midtown East.
