After Dominic and his crew were found guilty for their truck hijackings, Dom, Leon and Vince fled Los Angeles, with Vince heading to South America and Dom fleeing to Mexico, with Letty going after him. Mia, however, remained in Los Angeles by herself for many years, living at the Toretto family home. After calling Dom to tell him Letty was seemingly murdered, Dominic returned to Los Angeles through the U.S-Mexico border. The residence is, according to Property Shark, the second-largest house in all of Los Angeles. Shaw tracked Han during an illegal street race in Tokyo, unaware that this was all a ruse by Mr. Nobody, and attempted an assasination on his life, which failed. Dom's auto repair, the auto shop where Brian and the gang repair Dom’s ten-second car in The Fast and the Furious, is a former 1906 substation that once provided electricity to the Yellow Car transit line.
The House In The Movies
In 2010, the remaining sections of the campus were bought by an Orange County developer who has converted the site into a large mixed-use complex, the Ambassador Mansion & Gardens. Several buildings have been torn down during the transformation and many more are set for demolition in the near future, including the Hall of Administration, which was designed by Peter J. Holdstock in 1967. The Ambassador College site has been used regularly for filming over the years, in movies like A Single Man, Inherent Vice, Glory Daze and That Thing You Do!

At least until everyone gets the hang of it, and then it may become light work for the Drift King. After Mia tells Little Brian to hide while she fought off the soldiers, she was overwhelmed until Jakob arrives and helps her fight off the other agents. In the aftermath of the fight, Mia, Jakob and Little B left the damaged house, with Jakob taking Little B to his safe house in Portugal. If the exterior is largely used, in the first film but also in the following ones, Rob Cohen also films some indoor scenes. O'Conner is arrested at Seventh Street and Valencia Street, downtown Los Angeles. There is no ‘El Gato Negro’, this was nothing more than a set built on a vacant lot in El Segundo.
L.A. Dwellings: Toretto’s House from “The Fast and the Furious”
“So much of our careers started in this house.” Adds Jordana Brewster, “Every corner you turn in this house you remember another scene,” recalling a specific interaction she filmed with the late Paul Walker. Seeking revenge for Letty’s death in Fast & Furious, Dom heads to the apartment of David Park (Ron Yuan) to gather some intel. When David proves tight-lipped, Dom hangs him by his feet out of a fourth floor window. In real life, David’s building is known as the Stratford Hotel and houses 93 apartment units. The rear side of the four-story structure was also featured in one of the opening scenes of Fast & Furious as the spot where Brian captures a suspect after a long foot chase through Downtown L.A.

People Won't Stop Doing Donuts in Front of the 'Fast & Furious' Torretto House
In Fast & Furious (2009), Brian reports to work each day at a large Mid-Century Modern FBI building. In reality, that building is the Hall of Administration at the former Ambassador College in Pasadena. The school was founded in 1947 by evangelical radio personality Herbert W. Armstrong. After closing in 1997, portions of the campus were purchased by Maranatha High School and Harvest Rock Church.
She setup a new headquarters in Los Angeles where she continued to surveil the family. Dominic, Brian, Mia and Jack are still living in the Toretto house in Los Angeles following their pardons from the DSS. After their house was blown up by Deckard Shaw, Dom sent Mia and Jack to the Dominican Republic for protection, while he and the rest of the crew worked with the Agency, a covert ops organization, to apprehend Shaw. One morning, whilst getting ready to take their son, Jack, to school, Mia Toretto finds a package at the front door from Tokyo, to which Dom believes it's Han sending him a turbo charger for his car. Letty’s (Michelle Rodriguez) funeral in Fast & Furious is held at Sunnyside Cemetery in Long Beach. Founded in 1907, the cemetery features a striking backdrop, thanks to the oil that was discovered in the area in 1921.

The home is situated in a hilly section of the city, just a few blocks east of Dodger Stadium and two miles north of downtown L.A. Shaw traveled to Tokyo where he tracked down Han, and at the same time sent Dom a bomb disguised as a package from Han. After smoking a Ferrari in a street race, Dom and Brian head to Neptune’s Net Fast and Furious restaurant, which is really a landmark Malibu restaurant that was originally established in 1958. On the patio of the seaside eatery, Brian tells Dom that he wants in on Dom’s illegal activities.
Filming
His road trip eventually took him to Miami, Florida, where he settled down for a while. In Fast & Furious, Dom and Brian have a terse meet-up at a street rally held at one of L.A.’s most-filmed locales, the Starkman Building. Located in the Arts District of Downtown L.A., the picturesque brick structure (aka the Pan Pacific Warehouse) was built in 1908 as a factory for the Nate Starkman & Son company. The building’s other onscreen stints include masking as Paddy’s Pub on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Nicholas Cage’s apartment in National Treasure.
Staying in Frankie's disused houseboat, Dalton mentors the other bouncers and becomes popular with the locals. After an attempt on his life by gang leader Dell, Dalton finds him lying in wait at his houseboat. He throws Dell overboard but is unable to save him from being killed and eaten by a crocodile. After Mia tells Brian to hide while she fights off the agents, she was overwhelmed until Jakob arrives and helps her take out the other agents. Mia sent Little B to be with Jakob whilst she returned to Brian and her kids as they and the rest of Dom's crew and allies are in danger and hunted by their new enemy. After finding out Shaw and terrorist leader Mose Jakande were hunting them with the God's Eye, they team decided to fight them on the streets of Los Angeles where they had the advantage and to allow Ramsey to regain control of the God's Eye from a close range.
With their records being cleaned/erased, the crew make their way to Los Angeles once more, with Dominic reacquiring their old house. The Torettos continued to run Toretto's Market & Cafe, which serviced their neighborhood. Other than Dom's crew, Brian O'Conner was also a regular customer at the cafe.
According to the Estately website, in real life, the home, which was designed by architect David Fowler for his mother, was built in 1963 and boasted 4 bedrooms, 6 baths, 5,444 square feet, and over six acres of land with unparalleled 180-degree views of the city. After the residence was sold in 2000 for $2.8 million, the entire thing was bulldozed to the ground in order to make room for a new – and absolutely gargantuan – mansion (which you can see below in an aerial view that I got from a 2012 Wall Street Journal video). Furious 7 filmmakers employed some major CGI to create the road split where Brian parts ways with Dom for the last time. Instead, Brian’s car (Paul Walker’s personal Toyota Supra was used in the scene) pulled off onto a roadside turnout on the eastern side of Templin Highway, approximately 2,000 feet south of the intersection with Ridge Route Road.
Before their final confrontation, Dominic went to the garage and prepared his Charger and other weapons for his battle with Deckard. Coincidentally, the illegal activity cited near the house in the past six months consists mostly of car crimes — grand-theft auto and theft from a vehicle. Located in L.A.’s ethnically diverse Echo Park neighborhood, the area is also a fitting reflection of the Fast movie characters and its fan base, with large populations of Latinos, Asians, and African Americans, and a smaller relative percentage of whites. The ‘Race Wars’ rally was filmed at San Bernardino International Airport, East Third Street at Del Rosa Drive, San Bernardino.
