The setting of City of Bones so far has been a three story building with a store on the bottom floor. Clary and her mother live in the second floor. Later on Clary and her mother move to their farm house in upstate New York so that Clarys mother can get some peace while she works on her art. The time period in this book seems to be very close to presant day. The economy is bad and money is tight.
