Newman lives in apartment 5E, which is directly down the hall from Jerry's apartment, 5A. However, there are continuity inconsistencies regarding his residence. In the Season 7 episode "The Engagement", Newman's apartment is 5E. In the Season 9 episode "The Strong Box", however, another man, Phil, is seen entering 5E. At other times it seems Newman lives in a different part of the building from Jerry altogether; in "The Big Salad" Newman greets Jerry with "what brings you down to the east wing?", while in "The Calzone" Newman says George "hangs out with Jerry in the west wing of the building"; in "The Wig Master" Kramer says to Jerry that Newman "has a girl "up" there", referring to his apartment.
