Apartment 4A

Apartment 4A is the primary setting in The Big Bang Theory, and is the where Sheldon and Leonard live. It is situated in an apartment complex at 2311 N. Los Robles Avenue. When viewed from the satellite photographics in "The Countdown Reflection" episode, it appears to be located at 215 S Madison Ave. Due to the primary characters in the series, albeit Penny, being of the "nerd" social classification, the apartment has been dubbed as "Nerdvana" by Howard in season 1 episode 14 "The Nerdvana Annihilation".

Apartment 4A is located on the fourth floor of the building across from Apartment 4B, where Penny lives. 4A is known to be a corner apartment, being that it has windows facing outside on two sides.

Layout
The apartment has one living room, one bathroom, and two bedrooms. A hallway links the the living room to the bedrooms. The kitchen is part of the main living area.

Immediately upon entering, the wall on the right houses Sheldon and Leonard's desks and the TV. The wall ends in the kitchen part. This wall is rarely visible, being the wall that is the view into the apartment from which the episodes are filmed, and has only been shown on two occasions (one is in "The Euclid Alternative", S2E5).

The wall immediately to the left after entering the apartment has a long bookshelf that ends at a small closet, with the wall itself ending at a large window with a desk and telescope. can be seen from this window, which has been used on several occasions:
 * "The Tangerine Factor" (S1E17), Penny throws her ex-boyfriend Mike's out of it
 * "The Panty Piñata Polarization" (S2E07), Sheldon shows Penny that he hung her clothes from a outside
 * "The Einstein Approximation" (S3E14), Sheldon throws a out the window, causing the sound of car tire screeching and car horns, implying that there is a fairly large road just down the window and that Sheldon just caused an accident.
 * "The Ornithophobia Diffusion" (S5E09), a lands on the window sill outside, which upsets Sheldon
 * "The Countdown Reflection" (S5E24) Howard and Bernadette are married on a rooftop ceremony which is photographed by satellite.

After the window, there is a corner and the hallway that leads to the bathroom, as well as Sheldon and Leonard's bedrooms. The kitchen area is a small area that has an island with rarely used s since they usually eat in the living room area. A window is located at the end of the visible wall of the kitchen area (which can be clearly seen in several kitchen area scenes, one typical instance is in "The Loobenfeld Decay" (S1E10), when Toby Loobenfeld talks with Sheldon in the kitchen area). Presumbly, this window is one of the two windows (the other being the large window described above) that Sheldon has stated "creates a cross breeze" when he describes his Spot.

Sheldon, at one point in time, had painted luminous arrows on the floor pointing to the various nearest emergency exits throughout the room. He shows them to Raj in "The Roommate Transmogrification" (S4E24), but gets rid of them before "The Friendship Contraction" (S5E15) when he explains that they were "wildly ".

Production-wise, the bathroom interior, Sheldon's bedroom, and Leonard's bedroom are actually filmed on a different set than the rest of the apartment. The actual apartment set ends at a corner in the hallway immediately after the bathroom door. This is for easier filming access and better view of the actors for the studio audience.

Bathroom
The bathroom is the first door down the hallway off the living room.

The bathroom can be seen in:
 * [S01E01] Pilot - Penny showers
 * [S02E06] The Cooper-Nowitzki Theorem - Sheldon hides from Ramona

Sheldon's Bedroom
Sheldon's bedroom is located immediately after the bathroom. Sheldon usually keeps his bedroom locked, and rarely allows anyone inside.

The best episodes for viewing Sheldon's bedroom include:
 * [S01E04] The Luminous Fish Effect
 * [S01E11] The Pancake Batter Anomaly
 * [S01E15] The Porkchop Indeterminacy
 * [S02E03] The Barbarian Sublimation
 * [S02E17] The Terminator Decoupling

Leonard's Bedroom
Leonard's bedroom is the last room in the hallway. There is a ledge outside that runs by both bedroom windows. Sheldon uses this during "The Bozeman Reaction" to access Leonard's room because he is too paranoid to go out of his bedroom because they were burglarized earlier in the episode.

Leonard's bedroom can be seen in:
 * [S01E09] The Cooper-Hofstadter Polarization - Penny helps Leonard pick out clothes for his presentation
 * [S01E10] The Loobenfeld Decay - Sheldon's conscience makes him wake Leonard up
 * [S02E06] The Cooper-Nowitzki Theorem - Sheldon tries to use morse code thru the wall, then comes in
 * [S02E08] The Lizard-Spock Expansion - Leonard asks Sheldon to cover for him while he meets Stephanie
 * [S02E10] The Vartabedian Conundrum - Stephanie has moved in, bat signal is missing

History
In "The Staircase Implementation", the story of how Leonard and Sheldon meet is revealed. Sheldon places an ad for a roommate after his former roommate named Sebastian is driven to the brink of madness from Sheldon's antics. Leonard encounters Sebastian on his way to the interview with Sheldon, and he tells Leonard to run away. Leonard is accepted by Sheldon as his new roommate and inherits Sebastian's former room, only to discover that Sebastian wrote "DIE SHELDON DIE" in red (like in a ) on the wall.

At this time, the apartment also had significantly less furniture in the living room. Sheldon's only placement was two s and s as the TV stand. Even at this point in time, Sheldon's lawn chair was placed in the exact spot that he claims later on the couch. Their first major addition in furniture to the apartment was the leather couch, in which Leonard buys for a $100 from tenants on the first floor who were moving out; which is a great deal, since a new Moroni Havana sofa retails for around $1,500. Careful watchers may recognize the style of sofa; while the boys utilize the full 3 cushion sofa, defective detective Adrian Monk from the series "Monk" sports the smaller, two cushion model, of the line.

In "The Bozeman Reaction", the apartment got burglarized. Some of Sheldon and Leonard's game systems and various games were stolen. The police were also called to the apartment in "The Zarnecki Incursion", when Sheldon's World of Warcraft account was hacked.

In "The Staircase Implementation", an "apartment " is mentioned as a small blue flag with a on it of a gold lion  on a  on it. Flipping it upside down signifies that the apartment is in distress. In "The Roommate Transmogrification", Raj was given a version.

In The Bathroom
Sheldon has placed a  UV sterilization light there to stop his toothbrush from being infected by germs. Sheldon also has tape on the floor which serves to avoid splatter on the mirror from flossing teeth, and to stop urine from getting on the floor when men use the toilet. Sheldon also has a squeegee to clean the mirror.

Other items seen in the bathroom, from left to right, include:
