The McCallisters from the Home Alone movies live in the Chicago suburb of Winnetka, Illinois , in a large brick house located at 671 Lincoln Avenue.

Main answer

  • In the original Home Alone (1990), the McCallister family home is depicted as being in an affluent residential neighborhood north of Chicago.
  • The exterior house used for filming is a real private residence at 671 Lincoln Avenue, Winnetka, Illinois, about 30 minutes from downtown Chicago.

Extra context

  • The interiors for some scenes were filmed on sets built in a local high school gym because the real house could not accommodate all the production needs.
  • The house has become a popular sightseeing spot for fans of the movie, especially around the holidays, but it remains a privately owned home.
