Ann Leysen told us that Dr. Hathaway's house was a frame house in Sand Canyon, CA. Patrick Henry kindly wrote in to say that he had recently watched "Real Genius".. "and thought that the site of the professors home looked like it had been built in Canyon Country/Santa Clarita, CA, y'know back in the mid 80s before that area was really developed, so I hopped online to research it.. IMDB confirms filming location as 'Canyon Country, CA'. But I then I saw your source wrote in 'Sand Canyon, CA'.. I've never heard of Sand Canyon, Ca.. but there is a long street called Sand Canyon in Santa Clarita.. I think thats the real spot, Santa Clarita area (Canyon Country)"
UPDATE: Brian Kole kindly wrote in to say that Dr. Hathaway's house was at 15632 Saddleback Rd. Santa Clarita Ca. 91387. The location of this house is in Sand Canyon. Sand Canyon is in the town of Canyon Country, and Canyon Country is in the City of Santa Clarita. Google Earth or Zillow will take you there.
