The Boroughs location
Most of the locations, including the houses on the cul-de-sac (like the one featured in Pluribus), The Manor, the community centre, Amherst Funeral Home, and Señor Cocinas restaurant, were part of a huge set built somewhere in the New Mexico desert.

There’s not much information about the exact location of the set, but it appears to be somewhere near Rio Rancho, situated just north-west of Albuquerque, as the Sandia Mountains appear several times in the background from this angle.

One of the few buildings in The Boroughs complex that was not filmed on the set is the First Plaza Galleria, a commercial complex located in downtown Albuquerque.
This modernist building was designed by architect Harry Weese in 1972 as the headquarters of First National Bank and is now an unusual underground shopping arcade.

The abandoned desert town where Art goes in the second episode, "The Mourning After", is the famous Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe.
Established in the 1940s, this Western-style film ranch has a long history as a filming location for Hollywood productions, appearing in countless productions.
