Houses for filming in St. John's
Productions look for houses to portray everyday life: kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, residential facades. Authenticity often matters more than luxury.
From the colourful row houses of Jelly Bean Row to the lanes running down to the harbour, and the cliffs and fishing villages nearby, St. John's offers settings found nowhere else in the country. Ocean and rock frame the city.

Newfoundland and Labrador supports its production with incentives and a landscape without equal. The colourful houses and coastal settings of St. John's are exactly what productions come for when their story is set on the Atlantic.
One of the oldest cities in North America, St. John's appeals to productions with its colourful wooden houses, its harbour, and its dramatic coastal landscapes. The city has been a backdrop for series and films that lean on its singular character.
What productions look for in a house
A house can be the main set for several days or appear for a single scene. Crews value spacious rooms, natural light, nearby parking, and the freedom to move furniture. An ordinary bungalow is sometimes more in demand than a prestige property, because it matches what the story is telling.

What productions rent houses in St. John's?
Productions look for houses to portray everyday life: kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, residential facades. Authenticity often matters more than luxury. In St. John's, film, television, advertising, music video, and photo shoots all request these spaces, usually for one to five days.
Do I have to be present during the shoot?
That is your choice. Many owners stay on site, others hand over access for the day. Every booking is covered by a signed contract and insurance, and you set the house rules in advance.
What if my house is not glamorous?
That is often an advantage. Productions need spaces that feel real, not staged. An ordinary, authentic house in St. John's is frequently more useful to a story than a prestige property.
