Everything in Ferris’s neighborhood was filmed a block away from where we lived for 15 years (Bixby Knolls area, Long Beach, CA). And the best friend’s house and cool glass garage in Chicago belonged to a family I know by the name of Rose. Weird connections to that film.
In the movie it makes it look like his dad is some multi-millionaire.
But supposedly the house was hard to sell, as it wasn't particularly fancy.
It hadn't been upgraded in years.
