: Re: Housing fictional characters I am writing a fantasy book based in the present day New Orleans, LA area and I was wondering how authors create real setting homes for their fictional characters.

Find the city, neighborhood, and street you want. Make up a number that is not ON that street. For example, pick an address that is between two existing addresses: On each side of my street, numeric addresses progress by fours (e.g. 19,23,27 on one side, 18,22,26 on the other), so half of all numbers are unused: There is no address ending in 20 or 21 in that example, and will not ever be. There is also no address ending in 00, 01, or 02, and no final two digits greater than 45.

So in your story, everything is real but the number is fake, so nobody can visit that address.

But you can describe the street, neighborhood and city with real life as the example.
