When we first met the Brown family from TLC’s Sister Wives, the 20+ member family all lived in a huge house in Utah. The clan, which consisted of husband Kody Brown, his three wives, Meri Brown, Christine Brown and Janelle Brown, and their kids, became famous after the debut of their show in September 2010.
However, things have changed following Kody’s respective splits from Christine, Janelle and Meri, and the former sister wives now live in their own swanky abodes.
The father of 18 lives with his remaining wife, Robyn Brown, in Flagstaff, and the pair recently moving into a $2.1 million home in October 2024.

The Utah House
When TLC first introduced us to the Brown family in 2010, they lived in this massive house in Utah. The house was actually three apartments that connected to one another, one for each wife and her children. But since Utah had a law against bigamy, which meant anyone caught practicing polygamy could be charged with a felony, the family felt it was best for them to move.

Meri’s Las Vegas House
While Las Vegas may have been more accepting of their practices, the family felt like they were growing apart while living in four separate rental houses. Worried about the future of his family, Kody realized the key to bringing everyone back was to invest in a cul-de-sac where the entire family could live together.
In 2013, the Browns built four McMansions, one for each wife. The houses all had the same floor plan but were each different in their own w

Robyn’s Las Vegas House
The family paid approximately $400,000 for four houses, one for each wife, so that they could all live next door to each other. Although each house had the same floor plan, each wife made little changes (like changing the color of the kitchen countertops or rearranging the windows) for a personal touch. All the homes were Spanish-style with stucco siding, similar to most homes in the Las Vegas area. Although each house looks different on the outside, they all have the same feel.

Robyn’s Flagstaff House
In 2018, Kody decided to uproot his big brood again with a move to Flagstaff, Arizona. It was met with a lot of backlash from their kids, who had mixed feelings about relocating again, and the move was anything but smooth. Once they settled into their new rental homes in Flagstaff, Kody tried to convince his wives to agree to live in one large home that they would custom-build on their Coyote Pass property. After the idea was shut down, they decided they would build separate homes on Coyote Pass, but a delay in the sale of their Las Vegas homes caused a snag in the build of their new homes. Things became more complicated when Christine announced her decision to leave Kody in November 2021.

Meri’s First Flagstaff House
Meri had the worst luck of her sister wives when they all relocated to Flagstaff together in 2018. Shortly after moving in, Meri’s neighbors complained to her landlord and said they did not want her living in their neighborhood because of her “lifestyle.” In a confessional that aired in January 2020, Meri said she agreed to move out but she ended up having to move back to Las Vegas because she couldn’t find a rental in Flagstaff to move into with such short notice.
