Where Do the Duggars Live? Tour Their Homes, From Penthouse to Warehouse!

Free Britney Amy Duggar

Where do the Duggars live? For many fans of the famous and controversial TLC family, the Duggar homestead is a familiar sight.

Jim Bob and Michelle built a 7,000-square foot Arkansas pad with the proceeds from their first TLC specials way back in the day.

Thirteen years and three more kids later, the house serves as the setting for two reality shows – and very large family gatherings. 

Of course, 13 years is a long time. Much of the younger Duggar generation has grown up and moved into homes of their own.

Some of the adult Duggars are just starting out – while some are already living the good life on some very enviable property.

Others … er, well, not so much.

Sit tight, we’ll get to that shortly.

The folks at celebrity gossip magazine In Touch took a look at all of the Duggar homes, and the findings were surprising.

So where do the Duggars live?

Buckle up. Let’s take a look:

1. The Compound

Dh 1
Every Counting On fan is familiar with the massive Tontitown property known as the Duggar compound. But these days, several of Jim Bob and Michelle’s kids have left the nest to establish homes of their own.

2. The Beginning …

Dh 17
The Duggars’ story begins here, in this much more modest home in nearby Springdale, Arkansas. Not the kind of place in which you would want to raise 19 kids.

3. A Humble Start

When the Duggars made their TV debut on Discovery Health, the network helped them with construction costs for their new home in Tontitown. Execs also filled up the family’s pantry, something Jim Bob and Michelle had difficulty doing in those days.

4. The Living Room

Dh 16
The Duggars love the great outdoors (especially their big backyard) but when they’re inside the compound, this sprawling living room — with its sky-high ceilings — serves as the site of more Counting On scenes than any other.

5. The Master Bedroom

Dh 15
And this — as they used to say on MTV’s Cribs — is where the magic happens. Jim Bob and Michelle’s bedroom has been the site of an awful lot of baby-making.

6. The Master Bath

Dh 14
And this is the bathroom off of Jim Bob and Michelle’s room. We’re guessing this was roughly the size of the living room in their first house.

The Duggar Courtship Race: How Soon Will Justin Duggar Marry Claire Spivey?

Tyler Johnson Anna Duggar

By now, you’ve probably heard the news that Justin Duggar is courting Claire Spivey.

Fans only learned about the relationship last week, but already, many of them are asking the same question:

When are Justin and Claire going to get married?

For the answer, we look to previous Duggar courtships.

As you know, Counting On is basically the reality TV equivalent of Game of Thrones:

On each show, there are roughly four million characters, and it’s often difficult to keep track of who’s doing what … or whom.

The Duggars take a slightly more conservative view on coupling than the residents of Westeros, but all the same, courtships, weddings, pregnancies, and births are a big part of what keeps their core audience tuning in.

So here’s a rundown of what some of Jim Bob and Michelle’s kids (including Justin) are up to these days.

Don’t worry – unlike Thrones, the Duggars won’t be leaving your TV screen anytime soon. Not as long as they continue to make sure Earth’s population growth continues unabated.

1. Justin and Claire: A New Beginning

For the most part, all Duggar courtships are the same. But in several key ways, Justin and Claire are in uncharted territory.

2. The Young Ones

For one, they’re very young, even by the standards of a Duggar couple. Claire is 19, and Justin is only 17.

3. Across State Lines

On top of that, this is an interstate love affair (Claire lives in Amarillo, Texas), and it seems that most of the courting happened remotely during the cornavirus pandemic.

4. Freedom!

These days, Justin is living with Claire and her family in Texas — which must be quite frustrating for his older siblings who had to be chaperoned by Jim Bob during their courtships.

5. The Big Day

Duggar courtships almost always result in marriage, and Justin and Claire are several months into this thing. So it’s not surprising that fans are dying to know when they might tie the knot.

6. Predicting the Future

Duggar weddings are massive affairs, so the nuptials will likely be delayed as a result of the pandemic. Still, the best way to figure out a timeline for these two is by looking at past Duggar courtships.

Duggar Wedding Photos: So Many Bridesmaids & Nervous Virgins!

Free Britney Amy Duggar

The Duggar family does just about everything a little differently from the rest of us.

Most of us know about the courtship rules, but weddings are also no exception.

When a fellow fundie marries into the Duggar clan, the occasion is marked by a massive celebration. A booze-free celebration, to be sure, but a celebration just the same.

On these wedding days, two (very) young people nervously await the departure of the last guest, at which time, they’ll be free (and encouraged) to start making babies.

The Duggar courtship rules do not allow a lot of things.

They especially prohibit premarital sex, but once the vows are exchanged, it is on like you wouldn’t believe. Women in the family often get pregnant on their honeymoons.

So not only are the ceremonies high-pressure affairs, they’re even more intense by the fact that they’re often attended by HUNDREDS of Duggar friends and well-wishers.

Needless to say, this combination of factors makes for some very interesting photo opportunities. Take a look at some of the most memorable pics through the years:

1. Matriarch Weds Patriarch

Duggar weddings are unlike any wedding you’ve ever experienced. As a result, the most memorable Duggar wedding photos must be seen to be believed!

2. An Unholy Union
