The Humphrey Loft (DUMBO, Brooklyn)
About This Location
The Humphrey family loft in DUMBO, Brooklyn represented the show's 'other side' — the artistic, less privileged world that Dan and Jenny Humphrey came from. Dan Humphrey's official address is 455 Water Street, Brooklyn, in a prime area of DUMBO with stunning views of the Empire State Building through the Manhattan Bridge arch. The spacious industrial loft, with its exposed brick walls, large windows, and eclectic furniture, stood in stark contrast to the polished penthouses of the Upper East Side. Although the show initially suggested the Humphreys lived in Williamsburg, eagle-eyed fans identified the DUMBO location — and with those Manhattan Bridge views, maybe the Humphreys weren't as financially struggling as they made out!
