I learned that it’s a real house in L.A., but the traditional white house with the pillars around the front door is located in Brentwood, not Bel-Air. I also found myself wondering about the Banks family mansion where the exteriors were filmed. I was surprised by how well the show has held up after all these years, and how funny it still is. “Fresh Prince” is now streaming on HBO Max, and I spent the last few days watching dozens of episodes from the six seasons it ran.
