No, The Lincoln Lawyer's house is not the same as Bosch's. They dwell on opposite sides of the same mountain, according to the book. There are similarities between The Lincoln Lawyer House and the Bosch, but they are not related.
The Lincoln Lawyer just returned to Netflix for a new season of criminal intrigue centered on Mickey Haller, an attorney who conducts client sessions in the back of a Lincoln Navigator towncar. The show began as a series of novels by acclaimed crime author Michael Connelly, the first of which was adapted into a film in 2011 and starred Matthew McConaughey. The Netflix series follows the same premise, jumping ahead to the second novel in the series for Season 1 and starring Manuel Garcia-Rulfo.
With the recent news of Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer, fans have been asking the major question: Many viewers have asked if the Lincoln Lawyer House is the same as Bosch. Are the shows related to one another? There are several more questions about the show. So let's get into detail.
Although the Lincoln Lawyer and Bosch’s House Look Alike, They Are Not the Same!
Netflix's new adaptation of Michael Connelly's (@michaelconnellybooks) novel series The Lincoln Lawyer begs the question: is Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer's house as same as the show, Bosch and Amazon Freevee's Bosch: Legacy series? Michael "Mickey" Haller, the lawyer who works out of his Lincoln, is revealed in Michael Connelly's books to be the half-brother of Detective Hieronymous "Harry" Bosch, the star of his own namesake book series. So, are Netflix's Lincoln attorney and Amazon's Bosch related?
Bosch's home in Connelly's books is somewhere on Woodrow Wilson Drive in Hollywood Hills, California. In the 2010 novel 'The Reversal,' Harry's house is located next to 7203 Woodrow Wilson, while in the 2018 novel 'Dark Sacred Night,' it is located at 8620 Woodrow Wilson. This could be because his house was supposedly damaged in the 1994 Northridge earthquake. After it was demolished, Harry built a new one in the same area with the same view of the basin.

Connelly pointed to the spot where Bosch's house was supposed to be in a 2016 video he posted on his YouTube channel. Harry can afford such a high-end pad in the shows because of the sum he earned for a film based on a case he worked on. The house is actually located at 1870 Blue Heights Drive in Los Angeles.
The Lincoln Lawyer showcases a number of genuine and imaginary Los Angeles, California, settings, from Mickey's luxurious house in the hills to his time surfing the Pacific Ocean. The events leading up to the conclusion of The Lincoln Lawyer season 2, part 1, take Mickey to various new sites in the Los Angeles area, including Lisa Trammel's restaurant, Hayley's horse riding lessons, and a club where he meets "Legal" Siegel. Its season 2's genuine filming locales complement the show's legal environment, as much of the series' scenery is shot on site.

As per reddit discussion, there are similarities between The Lincoln Lawyer House and the Bosch, but they are not identical. Bosch's hill appears to be steeper, and electricity wires may be seen overhead in certain pictures. It also looks to be closer to the city's built-up region, as the buildings "down at the bottom" in Lincoln appear to be smaller. They dwell on opposite sides of the same mountain, according to the literature. In the books, Bosch's house is specifically facing the valley. It's natural that they moved it to the LA side for photo opportunities.
Certainly distinct locations. You can tell not only by the external front of Haller's house (for example, in episode 2, when Mickey arrives late at night and observes a possible surveillant parked down the street, Bosch's façade and neighborhood look nothing like that), but also by the interior. See, for example, the pilot episode, when Griggs unexpectedly visits and talks with Mickey in the living room.
Is the Lincoln Lawyer Related to Bosch? Details!
Titus Welliver's Bosch may appear in Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer as season 1 adapts The Brass Verdict, the second book in Lincoln Lawyer series and the first book in which Detective Hieronymous "Harry" Bosch appears. However, Bosch and The Lincoln Lawyer are not related in the realm of streaming.

The deviation from the books appears to be motivated by a rights concern rather than a narrative choice. There will be no crossover because Amazon owns the rights to Bosch and Netflix owns the rights to the show. "Since we have competing studios, that's not going to be anything in the shows," Michael Connelly remarked in an interview (via AARP) of the idea of a streaming crossover between Bosch and The Lincoln Lawyer.
