These scenes were actually shot at Private Residential House, located in Arleta, S. California. Google Map
The Gamble House, used for the Doc's house, is located in Pasadena, CA. It's address is: 4 Westmoreland Pl; Pasadena, CA 91103 and now serves as a museum.
Built in 1908, the David B. Gamble House is a tribute to the genius of architects Charles Sumner Greene and Henry Mather Greene. Its design represents a unique California lifestyle and is a masterpiece of American craftsmanship. In 1966 it was made a gift by the Gamble family to the City of Pasadena in a joint agreement with the University of Southern California. [Thanks to jacq]
The Burger King seen at the beginning was filmed at: 535 N. Victory Blvd. Burbank, CA. [Thanks to Dylan Tyler]
Golden Oak Ranch (often known as the Disney ranch) was used for the Peabody farm and the barn into which Marty initially crashes the DeLorean (Placerita Canyon Road
Newhall, CA 91321). The Farm house is also featured in the movie "Big Business" (1988). The house and barn no longer stand but were located at the north-eastern corner of the ranch near the "Toby Tyler" bridge. [Thanks to Greg Punch]
Lorraines House is 1227 Bushnell Ave. south Pasadena, CA.
George's House is 1711 Bushnell Ave. south Pasadena, CA. [Thanks to Dylan Tyler]
