Muffy had four different mobile phones in the series: her first one was a purple '90s era mobile phone with the letter "M" on the flip cover that could represent the first letter in her first name, but replaced it with newer 2000s era mobile phones such as the [[Portilex 360]] and most recently the [[MySmartPhony]].

The Crosswire Estate[3] is a large residence owned by the Crosswire family. It is located in the southeastern part of Elwood City.[2] The most prominent feature is the mansion, which is commonly known as Muffy's House.[2] Together, the house and the yard occupy an area of 16,000 square feet.[4]

The mansion is lavender and yellow with a turquoise roof (shingles had a darker tone in earlier seasons), brown front doors, and a balcony above the front doors. However, in season 22, the mansion‘s colors were changed to soft pink with a dark aqua roof and bright blue glass windows.

Muffy and her family reside in it, despite her family being very small and she has only one sibling: her older brother Chip, who is attending college. Their chauffeur and butler, Bailey also lives there, and is a great friend of theirs. The Crosswires do not allow anyone to bring their pets (such as Arthur's dog Pal and Francine's cat Nemo) into their mansion, but according to Muffy in "D.W., the Picky Eater", they have a dog. The mansion is located in Southeast Elwood City.

Muffy's bedroom is very large and has a fancy bed, two windows, a fireplace, lamps, wardrobes, sculptures, and a tea table. Muffy also has her own pet hamster, which was seen in "Poor Muffy". The living room contains some luxurious furniture, a fireplace, potted plants, lamps, and a white grand piano. Their kitchen is very large and has rounder cabinets and countertops than the other families, plus they have a booth unlike the other families. There are dining rooms with tables and fancy designs.
