The Miller residence is Joel and Sarah's two-story house just outside Austin, and the first place you explore in Part I. You play as Sarah here at the start of Hometown, on the night of September 26, 2013, before the family flees with Tommy.
Sarah wakes to a phone call from a panicked Tommy, finds a newspaper about hospitals filling up and watches a news broadcast cut out in an explosion.
Looters stripped and wrecked the house over the years. Tommy later returned and salvaged a faded photo of Joel and Sarah, which ends up back with Joel by spring 2034.
Boston
Boston, Massachusetts is the first region after the time skip and the city where Ellie grew up. You play The Quarantine Zone and The Outskirts here, and Left Behind's flashbacks with Riley take place in the same city. FEDRA holds the North End as one of the last working quarantine zones in the country.
Jackson
Jackson, Wyoming is the home of Tommy's community and covers both the town and the wider Jackson County, including the hydroelectric dam and the Hidden Pines Corral ranch. You visit it twice: in Tommy's Dam and in the short closing chapter, Jackson. It is the one safe, working settlement in Part I.
