Unique among their friends' rural family homes, the Striders dwell in the top floor of an apartment building in a dense metropolitan area. Little is known of the building beyond the Strider apartment, besides the air conditioning unit and antenna found on the roof where family battles are also often held.
Whether due to the obsessive hobby of Dave Strider's Bro or the post-scratch Dirk Strider, the apartment is filled with various disturbing puppets, many appliances in the household serve no useful purpose other than as storage for puppets or - more frighteningly - weapons. Above the apartment is a crawlspace, accessed through a hatch in the living room ceiling, which Dave's Bro uses for similarly creepy stealth purposes.[citation needed]
Dave's house upon entrance to the medium
After being transported to the Medium, only the top Strider apartment survives, supported in the air by the building's metal skeleton much like the rest of the Land of Heat and Clockwork. This apartment is subsequently built upon by Dave's server Jade Harley.

Living Room[]
The living room.
The living room in Dave's apartment. It contains a flat-screen TV, video game consoles, a sound system, a futon where Dave's Bro sleeps, Bro's rad and extremely expensive ninja swords, a desk with Bro's computer on it, a couple samplers, and a chest for storing Lil Cal for safe transportation.
Like most other rooms in the house, the living room is littered with puppets and posters of such. Many of the puppets here, however, are rather more risque than they are hip hop; almost all of them are nude - except for the occasional leather thong - and several of the pictures feature pixelated areas.
The living room floor also has many issues of GameBro on it, which is odd since Dave agrees with John that the magazine is worthless and even goes so far as to write satirical reviews of it.
The living room has a small kitchen area in one corner with a microwave (full of puppets, naturally), a blender, a sink, and a fridge (complete with child-made art). More alarmingly, a myriad of ninja weaponry and fireworks are scattered about the counter top.
Bathroom[]
The bathroom.
The bathroom in Dave's house. It's rather narrow and cramped but has just enough room to hold a sink, toilet, mirror, and stand-up shower. Bro casually uses the shower as extra storage space for his many puppets. Dave removes them before pissing in the shower, since his toilet has been relocated to his bedroom by Jade.
The toilet was accidentally pulled out by Jade who was attempting to retrieve a towel she had dropped in there.
Roof[]
The roof on Dave's house was the location of Dave's first big fight with his Bro. This is the location of Dave's Alchemiter. After Jade started to build on Dave's roof the only place still visible is where the Alchemiter resides, and the stairwell leading back down to Dave's living room. There was a radio tower on Dave's roof that became the nest of the Seppucrowsprite. Dave tried to climb the tower to crack the egg that would take him to The Medium, not knowing that the egg only needed time to hatch.
Gallery[]
Post-scratch[]
The skyscraper containing the apartment of the post-scratch Striders, Dirk Strider and his Bro. It is the same building where Dave and his Bro live in the pre-scratch universe, and as such located in Houston, Texas. At least in 2011. In the not too distant future (around the year 2400, more specifically) it is still in the same location, however Houston has been severely flooded and his home is the only one in sight. The lower levels of the skyscraper have been reduced to its metal construction, similar to Dave's home once it entered the Medium.
