Places of Sunnydale
Here’s a mini tour of Sunnydale, most of the places visited by Buffy and the gang:
Amy Madison’s House

Amy Madison was a student at Sunnydale High. She lived in this house with her mother, until her mother was trapped in a cheerleading trophy. Then she moved in with her father. This house seemed very secluded, surrounded by trees and had an iron gate at the front.
Episodes: The Witch
Angel’s Basement

Exact location of this place is unknown, somewhere maybe in an alley. When we first knew about Angel this was where he lived, in the dark and somewhat out of the way flat. Bare furnishings and only made for one person. This flat also saw the time when Angel had his first taste of what true happiness was. After he lost his soul, he also lost the flat and went on to new and different grounds

Anya’s Apartment

Only seen this place a few times. The most memorable moment was when Xander went there and told Anya how much he was totally and utterly in love with Anya.
Episodes: Into the Woods
Buffy’s Room

Located on 1630 Rovello Drive in Sunnydale. Buffy’s room, it’s seen spells, indian movies, cheesy puffs and nightly kisses between Buffy & Angel. Some of the more poignant moments of this room is when Angel’s vampire side came out for the first time, and Buffy put herself into a trance to find out what was going on, only to find out Dawn was not who she really was.
Episodes: Various
Crawford Street Mansion

After The factory got burned to the ground, Angelus, Spike and Drusilla moved into the Crawford Street Mansion. A derelict place, but a nice one none the less. Here they resided until the slayer kicked their undead butt’s out of there. And here was the place where Angelus was sent to hell by Buffy. And here it was where he returned, as Angel. And here he stayed, until he moved along to LA, when he realised him and Buffy could never be.
Episodes: Various
Doublemeat Palace

Buffy’s first proper place of employment. Here when Buffy first joined she thought something suspicious was going on, putting people in the burgers. Turns out that the secret ingredient in the burgers is beef. She got fired from the place when she first accused them of this, but now she knows this secret she managed to get her job back.
Episodes: Doublemeat Palace, Normal Again, As You Were
Faith’s Apartment

When Faith turned to the dark side, she also got a swanky new apartment, much nicer than the sleazy motel she used to live from. This one totally decorated beautifully, until Buffy thought it was about time her and Faith had a confrontation about her being slightly evil. Their fight pretty much trashed the place, and considering Faith then went into a coma for a few months after that, was left abandoned never to venture into again.
