Production

In 2005, for the second season of ''Desperate Housewives'', the street went through some heavy changes. During the first season only one part of the street had been seen on the show – the cul-de-sac at the end of the street, known as 'Circle Drive' among film crews,TheStudioTour.com – Colonial Street & Circle Drive Layout 1989-1996

In the film ''Beethoven's 3rd'' (2000) the street can clearly be seen with the shops and the Church still in place around 'Circle Drive'. The shot begins in circle drive at the shops then Mrs McCluskey's, Lynette's, Katherine's, Bree's, Susan's, Mary Alice's, Betty's and Gaby's are also in shot. The shot then continues into Gaby's driveway and then down the rest of the street. Colonial Street – including Circle Drive – has sixteen main buildings, with three of them located outside the ''Desperate Housewives'' filming area. The house closest to the settings, located next to what's called 4348 Wisteria Lane within the show, is being used by guards to stop any unauthorized access to "Wisteria Lane".TheStudioTour.com: Colonial Street - Building #12: Corner House

presents a map of Colonial Street, as it looked between 1989 and 1996. Besides the changes made during the first year of ''Desperate Housewives'', the main difference between this map and the current look of the street is that the houses known in ''Desperate Housewives'' as 4352 Wisteria Lane and 4354 Wisteria Lane (Mary Alice's and Bree's houses) replaced two older buildings in 1996.

", a map of the street and details about its residents is seen in one of Mike's lockers. This map confirms the location of Susan's, Lynette's, Gabrielle's, Bree's, Mary Alice's, Mike's and Martha Huber's houses, as well as the existence of one house between Susan's and Gabrielle's, one house beyond Gabrielle's and one house beyond Mike's. However, it does not cover the part of the street that include the house on the far side of Martha Huber's house, nor the buildings around the cul-de-sac, which wasn't included in the show's setting at the time. With two exceptions, all ten houses have the same number as otherwise stated in the series. There are some differences between Mike's map and the established version: *Although most house numbers are the same as otherwise stated, there are two exceptions: The house between Susan's and Gabrielle's houses (later known as the Applewhite house) is noted as 4354, and Bree's house is said to be 4359. Generally these houses are shown to be 4351 and 4354 Wisteria Lane, respectively, with Mike's map being the only exception. *The residents of the house between the houses of Gabrielle and of Susan are said to be Trent and Debra Nelson, although the Mullins is mentioned in the dialogue earlier in the same episode. This is the only time the Nelson's names has occurred in the series. *The resident of 4347 Wisteria Lane is not said to be Ida Greenberg - this character is not introduced until episode five, " Come In, Stranger". Instead there are two other names noted, but too blurry to be read properly. However, Morris, their last name, is readable. Also, one of them seems to be named Gary, and they're 42 and 38 years old respectively. *Also to be noted is that Lynette's daughter Penny is called Daisy on the map. In addition, although the camera briefly passes by 4358 Wisteria Lane - the house that (starting with episode 14, " Love Is in the Air") would be known as Karen McCluskey's home - it turns away before any names are shown.


"Behind Closed Doors" map

A map of Wisteria Lane is also included in the official season one companion book, ''Desperate Housewives: Behind Closed Doors'', published in 2005. This map does not show the house numbers but confirms the existence and location of most Wisteria Lane houses to appear on the show. The exceptions are the three buildings beyond Karen McCluskey's house, which were not added to the shows filming location until season two. Also - while most of the houses on the map are labeled "The Scavo House", "The Young House" etc., the houses now known as the McCluskey house, the Greenberg house and 4348 Wisteria Lane, are left without any description.
