But the neighborhood is friendly, quiet, and family-oriented nonetheless.
That is, until construction crews, film crews, staff, and celebs swarmed the neighborhood.
One resident toldThe Ringer, “It was just a huge nightmare.
Nobody was happy that this was going to happen on our street.”
Fanscommentedon HGTV’s teaser, “obviously there’s no HOA,” and boy, were they right.
But soon, the fact that it was associated with the blond plastic doll was blatantly obvious.
The mailbox was suddenly pink, and a mammoth plastic handle was affixed to the roof.
As construction carried on, so did the film crew’s requests.
Babysitters and gardeners were barred entry, but monstrous, heavy equipment regularly barreled up and down the roadway.
Fortunately, the house’s Barbie pink days seem like just a bad dream today.
It has been returned to a neutral color palette, and its former aesthetic now reflects average suburbia.
Unfortunately, spectators still arrive to take pictures several times each day.
