Trivia

On-screen Notes

 * The apartment number is 3.
 * In "The Thing You Love Most", the window outside the door is a regular, clear single-pane window. In "The Price of Gold", it has been divided into four window panes. In "Broken", it's replaced by a glass-stained window.
 * Tree and flower motifs are decorating the walls next to Mary Margaret's bed. This is a reference to the Enchanted Forest.
 * Mary Margaret and her Enchanted Forest counterpart are known to have an affinity for birds, and birds are a common motif in her apartment including:
 * At least six different bird figurines
 * Bird pillow on the bed
 * Sugarbowl with a blue bird on top
 * Ceramic teapot with owls on it
 * Framed bird pictures
 * The writing on the brick wall says "Original Liquid & Paste Grate Polish Black Bird", and there is a giant crow painted on the wall
 * There is a small Bambi statue and a figurine of a white rabbit in the apartment.
 * The round cookies that Ava and Nicholas eat in Mary Margaret's loft also decorate the walls of the Gingerbread House.
 * Mary Margaret has a large collection of clocks, just like her grandson, Henry.
 * In the apartment, there is a framed drawing of an apple tree, which is remarkably similar to the Storybrooke coat of arms, and Regina's apple tree.
 * The inside of Mary Margaret's bathroom is not seen until Zelena escapes through the window in the Season Three episode "Quiet Minds". The top floor of the apartment is explored for the first time in the Season Four episode "Smash the Mirror", where Henry reads comics with Regina in his bedroom.
 * Neal has a baby mobile decorated with sheep. This is a reference to his father having originally been a shepherd.

Location

 * The apartment is situated right across the street from the pawnshop, meaning that it is in the same block as the clock tower building, in a location that does not actually exist in Steveston Village, likely in the area of the dentist's office. This is proven in "Best Laid Plans", where the pawnshop can clearly be seen through the window as Maleficent's sleeping spell approaches. The location is also hinted at in previous episodes:
 * When Mary Margaret is inside the apartment in "True North", Emma calls her on the phone from outside, and asks Mary Margaret to come outside and meet her. The two meet across the street from the clock tower building.
 * After Mary Margaret leaves the apartment in "7:15 A.M.", she is headed away from the clock tower.
 * When David is cleaning Mary Margaret's car in "What Happened to Frederick", it is parked in front of Storybrooke Coffee Co, next to Jolene's Arts & Crafts, which are both located in the same block as the clock tower, opposite the street from the pawnshop. When Emma finds Henry's storybook, Emma's car is parked next to the clock tower building.
 * When Emma and August leave the apartment together in "The Stranger", they come out from behind Storybrooke Coffee Co, before proceeding to walk down the street, past the clock tower. Emma's car is parked in front of Storybrooke Dental (which is right between Storybrooke Coffee Co and the clock tower).
 * When Emma heads toward the apartment in "New York City Serenade", she begins to walk toward the clock tower building.
 * The bird feeder and birdhouses that Mary Margaret and Henry tend to, are actually in a different location, behind a white picket fence across the street from George's Taverna and Storybrooke Savings & Loan. These two businesses are situated near Storybrooke Country Bread, the building that is across the street from Granny's Diner. Granny's Diner is approximately one hundred meters down the road from the clock tower building.
