Ahead of the premiere of the fifth season of "Summer House," it was revealed that the Bravo show would be filmed in a new house. Of course, in true "Summer House" fashion, the home, located in the Southampton area of New York, according to Newsweek, is incredibly fabulous. According to Bravo, the new house features spacious bedrooms, a tennis court, two refrigerators, a pool, a hot tub, and more.
This change in location is likely due to the number of complaints that Bravo received from the neighbors within close range of the show's first filming location in Montauk. According to Page Six, three families who purchased homes adjacent to the former "Summer House" home were unaware that a show was even being filmed in their incredibly quiet gated community. "They are not happy," the source close to these families told Page Six. "Apparently, [one family] watched the show and are now worried that their 3-year-old grandchild will be watching people having sex in the woods." "Not one of the buyers was advised before closing that their multimillion-dollar retreat is next door to where a trashy reality TV show is being filmed," another source revealed to Page Six.
Over the years, several businesses in Montauk and East Hampton have also banned "Summer House" from filming. In fact, after the first season of the show aired, the city of East Hampton actually denied Bravo the ability to procure a filming permit, according to Page Six.
