Mid-Century Modern Film Location Rental in Atlanta, GA

Easy to say yes to.

We've taken care of the things that usually slow a home location down, so you can focus on the shoot.

The whole house is yours

The house is reserved for your production and looked after by a property manager who checks in every day. There's no family to work around and no household routine to plan your schedule against, so your crew has the run of the place from the first day of prep.

Ready to use quickly

There's no one to move out and nothing to untangle, so the house can go from walkthrough to prep days quickly.

Change what you need, inside and out

Paint, wallpaper, fixtures, flooring and finishes are all fair game, indoors and out. Your art department can lean further into the period or bring it right up to today.

One point of contact

You'll talk directly with the property manager, who can answer your questions about access, changes and dates and approve them too.

Authentic to the 1960s, and easy to play as today.

Built in 1962, the house reads true for period projects set in the 60s and 70s. Dress it down and it plays just as well as a stylish contemporary home.

5 decades

Split levels that play as separate sets.

The split level layout gives you distinct levels that can play as separate sets. Half flights of six steps connect each level and open up long sightlines between them, so camera can hold a character on one level while the scene moves on another.

Arched doorways, wood ceilings and globe pendants carry the period look from room to room.

What's possible on shoot day

A few ways a production could set up here: a dolly shot in the driveway, a scene at the backyard outbuilding, a dialogue scene on the living room sofa, and video village under the trees.

A covered patio, framed in mid-century windows.

A run of geometric window frames and a brick wall wrap a covered patio with room for a full outdoor sectional and long coffee tables. It plays as its own set, indoors and out at once.

On shoot days it also works as holding, a craft services corner or video village, in the shade and out of the rain.

A wooded lot with a private backyard.

Tall, mature hardwoods surround the whole house and meet overhead in a natural canopy, so every exterior angle is framed in trees.

Fall light

The house sits under mature hardwoods. In autumn the canopy turns orange and gold and the late sun comes through low, as in the photo at the top of this page.

A backyard outbuilding

At the back of the yard sits a small outbuilding in the same mid-century style, with clerestory windows and yellow double doors. It makes a charming second exterior.

Flat, fenced and private

The backyard is level and fully fenced, with high-quality turf that keeps the lawn green all year, whatever the season in your script. It is easy to move equipment around, there are no neighbors in frame, and the fence and trees help with sound.

A mid-century modern film location rental in Atlanta, Georgia

Georgia productions looking for a genuine 1960s house often end up choosing between an occupied home with a family to work around and a newer build dressed to look old. This house in Doraville is neither. It is an original 1962 mid-century modern split level with low sloped rooflines, clerestory windows, board and batten siding over brick, a steel-post carport, wood plank ceilings and globe lighting, and the whole property is reserved for your production.

It works as a period location for stories set in the 1960s and 1970s, and as a present-day home for commercials and series. The split level plan gives several distinct sets under one roof, the wooded lot delivers strong fall color, and the flat, fenced backyard keeps neighbors out of frame.

Doraville sits along I-285 in northeast metro Atlanta, 2.5 miles from Assembly Studios and about 20 minutes from Midtown, which keeps company moves short for productions working out of the Assembly stages. Film, TV, commercial, music video and still photography productions can book single days or multi-week holds.

Among Atlanta film locations, original mid-century modern homes that a production can fully take over are hard to find. Most mid-century modern homes in Atlanta are lived in, and owners understandably limit what can change. Here the whole house is reserved for your production and professionally managed, and interior and exterior changes are permitted.
