Notes
- According to Lyle's driver license, shown in Exposed, Costa Verde's ZIP code is 90734. In actuality, 90734 is a ZIP code for San Pedro, California.
- Costa Verde, CA, does not actually exist. Additionally, this is the first fictional named city in the Heroes universe.
- In a question and answer session, Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite said, "[Costa Verde's name] plays on [a] Joseph Campbell theme: Water. As a unifying agent that connects all cultures across the world. Costa Verde, or "The Green Coast" seemed to be a great city in that tradition."
- In his blog, Greg Beeman said that that the production staff imagines Costa Verde being very much like Palos Verdes, a beach town just south of Los Angeles.
- In I Am Become Death, the TV image depicting the nuclear blast in the city of Costa Verde actually shows a satellite picture of the Palos Verdes Peninsula in California. The fictional city may have been named after a tiny street, Via Costa Verde, in Rancho Palos Verdes.
- According to Heroes Interactive, scenes set at the beach (Kindred) were filmed in Point Dume Beach in Malibu. The commentary for Kindred elaborates that this is the same beach for the scene in Kanyakumari when Mohinder spreads his father's ashes (Seven Minutes to Midnight).
- According to an blog post by Greg Beeman, beach scenes with Sylar and Elle from The Eclipse, Part 2 and Our Father were filmed "at this weird beach in San Pedro. The beach was rocky and stinky and there were hundreds of feral cats living there."
