The Biggest Hurdle
Before they could start building on Coyote Pass, the Brown family needed to divide the land into plots. This map of tentative arrangements was revealed during season 16, before Christine and Kody split.
Kody also brought up the idea of dividing the plots into 5 and building a fifth house for himself where the family could hold gatherings and lodge out-of-town guests like their older children.
The reason why Kody chose to move from Las Vegas to Flagstaff was for a change of pace. “It’s green, there’s four seasons,” Christine said in August 2018. “It’s a little bit smaller, quite a bit smaller than Las Vegas,” Robyn added.
“There’s mountains, we’ll be living at 7,000 feet elevation,” Kody explained. “Small town, quiet, beautiful college.”
As to why the family decided to move, Robyn explained “we’re moving because we want kind of a slower lifestyle. We want some water.”
