The Perkins, a family with the modest incomes (John works for the Capwell industries and Marisa at Lyman high school canteen), live in Santa Barbara in the middle of a residential and popular district of the city. Of their house, we only know the living room : a central room in which we find a blue sofa, in the center a round table, a fireplace in bricks and, under the windows, some shelves where some books are arranged. Behind the sofa, we can access by a glass door with a lacy curtain, to Joe's old room, which will be transformed into a nursery for Amy's baby. A staircase leads to the floor, where is set the girls' bedroom (Amy and Jade), mainly become Jade's bedroom at Amy's departure. The house will partially explode during the first episodes, following Joe's come-back.
We will also discover the house entry at the time of the first meetings between Joe and Dominic. This house will also be the terrible place of a hostage-taking by Peter Flint, which will conclude by the death of Joe and Peter in 1985.
In spite of the absence of Marisa and Jade, Amy will continue to live the house with Brick, her fiancé then husband. The decoration of the house will be slightly modified (change of the color of the sofa among others). Brick will be later the only one to live the house after the death of Amy in 1986.
