742 Evergreen Terrace is the fictional street address in Springfield of the Simpson family home in the animated television series The Simpsons and in the feature film The Simpsons Movie. In the series the house is owned by Homer Simpson. It is named after The Evergreen State College, Matt Groening's alma mater. A real-life replica of the house was constructed at 712 Red Bark Lane in Henderson, Nevada, as part of a contest in 1997.
To the left of the Simpsons' house (as seen from the street) is Ned Flanders' house, at 744 Evergreen Terrace. The house on the right has been occupied by various owners, including Ruth and Laura Powers, Sideshow Bob, and the extended Flanders family (Ted Flanders and his daughters Connie and Bonnie).
In the episode 'Homer's Triple Bypass' the address is given as the home of Snake - next door to Rev Lovejoy - when the police arrive to arrest him for cattle rustling.

Famous quotes containing the words evergreen and/or terrace:
“We could not well camp higher, for want of fuel; and the trees here seemed so evergreen and sappy, that we almost doubted if they would acknowledge the influence of fire; but fire prevailed at last, and blazed here, too, like a good citizen of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A tree that can fill the span of a man’s arms
Grows from a downy tip;
A terrace nine stories high
Rises from hodfuls of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles
Starts from beneath one’s feet.”
—Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)
