SEAVEIW CIRCLE, KNOTS LANDING, CA.
WHERE IS THE CUL-DE-SAC ANYWAY & HOW WAS IT DISCOVERED:
The cul-de-sac made so popular in Knots Landing is situated in Granada Hills, California which it appears is nowhere near the ocean. From Los Angeles one would take the 5N to 118W and exit at Balboa. Right on Balboa one would pass The Knollwood Country Club Estates on the way to Crystalaire Place aka Seaview Circle.
According to John, a faithful fan who has tracked down the cul-de-sac, it is much smaller than it appeared on Knots Landing and the houses used in the series are pretty much the same apart from a paint job or two. The original owners were paid handsomely for the use of their homes and were expected to stay out of site at time of shootings but never actually had to move as Knots was never really filmed inside their homes.
John says according to one of the home owners the cul-de-sac was discovered while one of the production managers for Lorimar was playing cards with someone associated with Knots Landing pilot who mentioned they needed a neighbourhood to set the pilot in. The discussion came to the production manager's own home and that's the one they used for Val and Gary's house and thus the Knots Landing cul-de-sac was born.
THANKS to John for this information.
