It’s the ocean view, outdoor beach cafe where Vin Diesel and Paul Walker stop (after they have outraced the obnoxious rich guy in his Ferrari on PCH) and where Paul tries to get Diesel to disclose how he secretly makes the big bucks. Neptune’s Net is located at Pacific Coast Highway in a somewhat remote section of Malibu, about 10 miles west of Point Dume. The large Asian archway they drive under in Little Saigon is not the same color anymore, and the marble statues have been removed to make more room for parking. In the film, Toretto’s is owned by Vin Diesel and his sister; it’s where they first meet Paul Walker when he’s ordering a tuna (with no crust) sandwich. Before their final confrontation, Dominic went to the garage and prepared his Charger and other weapons for his battle with Deckard. With the huge popularity of the Fast and the Furious franchise, the home of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) became a tourist spot for fans.
The House In The Movies
In the movies, the address is “1327.” But in real life, it’s 724 — 724 East Kensington Road, Los Angeles, to be exact. The home is situated in a hilly section of the city, just a few blocks east of Dodger Stadium and two miles north of downtown L.A. The two cars are heading east on Terminal Way, starting around Cannery Street and racing east past the railroad tracks at Earle Street. Paul Walker and Vin Diesel wind up (after the truck accident) out of their cars on the east end of Terminal Way, near Ferry Street, where you can see the large pipe which (in real life) transports coal and coke to waiting ships.

He also personally owned the Supra, Skyline GTR and the Maxima used in the first two movies. The final race with a train takes place down by the Los Angeles harbor in San Pedro, or to be exact, across the Vincent Thomas Bridge on Terminal Island. The moment of near-impact takes place on the railroad tracks at Terminal Way & Earle Street (the tracks run parallel to Earle Street and cross Terminal Way) and cross at Tuna St. (no joke). Not much to see here other than the museum of aircraft, so I wouldn’t bother driving out to visit.

The race car is no longer on the roof, of course, and the signs are down, so it’s now a rather plain-looking warehouse-style building. It is immediately north of a brick building (which is also seen in the film) – the address of that brick building is 1046 N. Before 2022, the Toretto House was rebuilt, allowing Dominic to live there peacefully with Letty and Brian Marcos.
Street Rally - Starkman Building
Dom was arrested by Interpol who revealed themselves as paramilitaries led by Leysa, an old friend of Dom's and the sister of Cara Mirtha. Leysa gives Jakob's gun to Dom which have his biometrics on it which allowed Ramsey to track Jakob to Edinburgh. Dom discovered from Buddy Hubbard that Jakob Toretto was in London and with help from Magdalene Shaw, who heard on the grapevine about Jakob and Otto, he was brought to Hatfield House where Jakob and Otto were throwing a party. Otto warned Dom about how powerful his family is and told Dom that Jakob was upstairs. Sadly though, as you can see below, other than the exterior gates, no part of the property is visible from the road. Craig served as Technical Advisor and in many other roles for Universal Pictures on the first three movies.

In the aftermath of the fight, Mia, Jakob and Little B left the damaged house, with Jakob taking Little B to his safe house in Portugal. Maybe the charitable interpretation is that the movies show an aspirational sort of friendship, a chosen family that is loving, supportive, multicultural, and badass. And the chance to feel close to that is worth the pilgrimage and pissing off a few neighbors. Now a dizzying array of yellow plastic bollards is strewn all over the space, and two newly manufactured roundabouts and several one-way street signs were also added.
Restaurant (and a quite popular one), serving Caribbean food in a colorful atmosphere. Virgil Avenue, in a questionable neighborhood at the east end of Melrose Ave., in the Silver Lake area of L.A. The opening truck hijacking takes place right on the border of Wilmington and Long Beach.
Initially hesitant, Dalton takes up the offer after narrowly averting a suicide attempt with a freight train that destroys his car. He takes a bus to Frankie's establishment, called simply The Road House, and befriends Charlie, a teenager who runs a bookstore with her father, Stephen. After Dominic and his crew were found guilty for their truck hijackings, Dom, Leon and Vince fled Los Angeles, with Vince heading to South America and Dom fleeing to Mexico, with Letty going after him.
Fans would gather outside and take photos; however, it was when fans would knock on the door that it began to become overwhelming for Marianne, who is on record stating that it was stressful at times. Coincidentally, the illegal activity cited near the house in the past six months consists mostly of car crimes — grand-theft auto and theft from a vehicle. Fans regularly make pilgrimages to the home, driving by slowly to take photos and video. Toretto’s house is 722 East Kensington Road, and ‘Toretto’s market and diner’, where O'Conner insinuates himself into the community, is the nearby friendly local grocery store Bob’s Market, 1234 Bellevue Avenue at Kensington Road. Echo Park is also the neighbourhood of Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler, and you might have spotted Bob’s Market alongside the Dodge Challenger as he waits for police messages.
Pratt’s new home is adjacent to Shriver’s two homes, each valued at over over $10 million, carving out a family compound of sorts in the neighborhood. Ungar has designed several multimillion-dollar mansions, including modern farmhouses, in Los Angeles. Before 2022, the Toretto House in Los Angeles was rebuilt, allowing Dominic to live there peacefully with Letty and Brian Marcos.
As Frankie and Stephen begin to rebuild, Charlie says goodbye to Dalton as he waits for his bus out of town. Stephen discovers Dalton has left them the trunk of cash as the bus pulls away. In a mid-credits scene, Knox has survived and assaults the hospital staff, leaving in his gown. Frankie admits that Brandt has been buying up property to build an expensive resort, but she is the lone holdout.
While the building’s address actually faces Santa Monica Blvd., the filmmakers shot the west side (the back of the building), which faces Orange Drive. In a city that has been so thoroughly captured on film over the past 100 years or so, it’s easier to find a place that hasn’t appeared in a movie or TV show than one that has. It’s not entirely clear why, other than the obvious fact that the movies are juggernauts, a rare piece of monoculture in an increasingly fragmented time. The stunts are dope, sure, and there’s a big, meaty center to the Venn diagram of “people who are seriously into F&F” and “people who are likely to ignore a ‘don’t try this at home’ warning,” but there has to be more.
