Adrian’s
The brick home played host to the Italian Stallion, played by Sylvester Stallone, in “Rocky II.” While the interior isn’t shown in the film, the street and front stoop are featured in several scenes, including Rocky’s 4 a.m. If you have seen the movies, here are some of the movie filming locations in Philadelphia. Vaux Hill, also known as the Fatland Estate, sits on 15 acres overlooking Valley Forge National Historical Park.

The 1,306-square-foot home has three bedrooms, one-and-a-half bathrooms and a full basement. While the block and exterior of the house were used in the movie, the interior of the house was not filmed. There were a lot more filming locations outside of Philadelphia.
Filming at 1818
The hillside property dates back to 1866, and features a converted carriage house as the main home, a separate stone home, and a tiny one-room studio that sits tucked among a field of ferns. Rocky Crest is a 13-bedroom home on the Main Line, once the estate of Joseph Pew, Jr., one of the sons of the founder of Sun Oil Company who later helped establish Pew Charitable Trusts. The expansive 13,500-square-foot property sits on 15 acres—5.9 of which have been preserved into perpetuity—and dates back to about 1908. Also on the grounds is a “nearly” Olympic-sized pool, a pool house, a tennis court, and a carriage house with two 1-bedroom apartments inside.

Robert’s Irish Pub
Reporting in this current political climate is a responsibility we do not take lightly, and we thank you for your support. In the film, Rocky's inexperience with money -- including the hasty purchase of the house (without even going upstairs!) -- leads to financial difficulties that force him back into the ring for a rematch with Creed. "I really like these bricks, they are really nicely done here. They look very solid," says Rocky about the home in the movie. Rocky visits his son Robert’s apartment to tell him that he is going to fight Mason Dixon.
The web’s most comprehensive list of filming locations used in Sylvester Stallone’s “Rocky” movies, covering spots from Philadelphia to Los Angeles. Built in 1920, the Richmond-area building today is a 3-bedroom, 1-bath row house measuring 1,036 square feet and listed for $139,000, just above Philadelphia’s median home value of $106,700. From the outside, Rocky Balboa’s row house looks exactly as it did on the big screen in 1979.
Temporary barriers and signage will be in place May 7-8 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., to indicate ongoing work
The 17-acre property was once part of the Ardrossan, the Montgomery Scott family's enormous estate that at one point had 40 buildings. In fact, the Albermarle’s main home was once the original estate’s stable. The astounding Linden Hall in Gladwyne, once home to the Dorrance family dynasty of the Campbell Soup Company, is on the market for $16.5 million, after originally listing in 2013 to the tune of $24.5 million.
The location of the Los Angeles interior of Rocky’s apartment is as yet unknown. The building itself dates to 1920 and during the 1970’s was owned by Eleanor O’Hey; O’Hey was paid just $50 for the use of the exterior of her home during the filming of the original Rocky due to the film’s low-budget. On the southern end of Tusculum Street you’ll find the narrow brick front address where Rocky Balboa lived until early 1976 – hey, he said it was only temporary.
It’s here that Rocky asks Adrian on their first date to go ice skating, and Paulie throws the turkey leg from Adrian’s Thanksgiving dinner into the alley. He says the house was picked for "Rocky II" because the filmmakers "happened to like the front of the home and knocked on the door." The only major difference is the tall, strong tree that now shades this narrow street – it was just a sapling when Rocky and Adrian lived here.
If you are standing in front of Mighty Mick’s Gym, look to the right across the street. The Atomic Hoagie Shop was the local hangout for Little Marie and the neighborhood kids in the original Rocky movie. The sixth movie Rocky Balboa wrapped up Rocky’s career. As this is a residential area, we parked the car away from the apartment and took a few quick photos but without getting too close – like sitting on the steps. The apartment remains very true to its 70’s look.
This unassuming neighborhood features the actual home which was used as the front for Adrian and Paulie’s house in the original Rocky and later as the home which the entire Balboa family shared in Rocky V. This is a very solid neighborhood in South Philly, with new bricks – and Rocky’s an expert on bricks. Plus, the numbers on this house, 2313, almost add up to nine.
