Where Do the Duggars Live? Inside Anna’s Warehouse on the Compound

Where do the Duggars – specifically Josh – live?

It’s a frequently asked question, especially lately.

For many fans of the famous family, the Duggar homestead is a familiar sight, dating back to simpler, less controversial times.

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.

Many years, kids and scandals later, the house serves as the setting for two reality shows – and some large family gatherings. 

Of course, much of the younger Duggar generation has grown up and moved out … some more successfully than others.

Before he got nabbed by the feds, Josh Duggar’s living arrangement in particular had been the subject of much debate.

His accomodations, along with wife Anna and their many children, were not what you’d expect given his parents’ wealth.

The confines of the main house have also been under renewed scrutiny, given that it’s where Josh’s first scandal arose.

Below, we go inside the compound and the modest digs where the 33-year-old spent (possibly) his last days as a free man.

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.

Explore the Duggars’ Homes: From Palatial Estates to Federal Prison Cells!

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 some 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?

Well, we think it’s safe to say you’ll be surprised by some of these accomodations.

From a palatial estate to pre-trial temporary accomodations with family friends, the Duggars are all over the map!

Derick Dillard: I Had to Fill Out 423-Question Application Before Jim Bob Would Let Me Court Jill!

One of the most heavily-scrutinized aspects of life in the Duggar clan is the courtship process by which young people find suitable spouses.

Casual dating, premarital sex, and divorce are all forbidden in the Duggars’ world, so there’s a lot riding on every courtship.

Despite all that, the process moves fast — very fast.

Often, Duggars get engaged just a few weeks after they begin courting, and they’re married a few weeks after that.

So perhaps it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the family has its mate selection protocol down to a science.

Believe it or not, the process involves a written application that’s designed by Jim Bob to help weed out the losers and ensure that his grandkids are bred from only the best stock.

We sincerely wish we were joking/

As you might expect, the whole thing is intensely creepy.

Check out some of the more bizarre highlights from the list of 423 questions (!!!) that are presented to potential Duggar suitors.

It’s believed that both male and female courtship partners are forced to fill out the questionnaire, and of course, the responses are reviewed by the all-powerful shot-caller himself, James Robert Duggar.

Somehow, this family keeps getting weirder by the day.

1. Derick Spills the Tea

As you’re probably aware, Derick Dillard has been feuding with Jim Bob Duggar for quite some time now. It’s a messy situation, but on the bright side, it’s yielded some interesting revelations about life in the Duggar clan.

2. Going Back to the Archives

Of course, as some fans recently realized, Derick has been taking shots at Jim Bob for quite some time now. Take, for example, the Counting On episode in which Dillard spoke out about the infamous Courtship Questionnaire.

3. Bonding Brothers-In-Law

At the time that the episode was filmed, Jeremy Vuolo was still courting Jinger Duggar, and Derick shocked him with an unexpected question.

4. Truth or Der

Derick asked Jeremy if he had been “drill[ed]” on his “financial situation” by Jim Bob, adding that such questions can be found “on the 45-page application,” he said. “Page 27, section B, line four.”

5. Jim Bob In the Middle

It might sound like Der and Jer were just having a laugh at Jim Bob’s expense, but it turns out the application is not only real — it’s also much longer than they described.

6. Does the Fun Ever Start!

Around that time, there was a disagreement about the length of the application. Jessa Duggar claimed it’s only 30 pages, while Jeremy said that he “got sent a 50-page questionnaire.” It turns out, the current model clocks in at 423 questions — and we have all the highlights below!

The Duggars’ Most Awkward Televised Moments: Josh Sings! Ben Seewald Raps! We Cringe!

Every reality TV family struggles to perfect the same tricky balancing act:

How to share enough information with the world to make for compelling viewing, while at the same time, not giving away too much of your personal life?

This is particularly difficult in the case of the Duggar clan, as their carefully-curated public image is based almost entirely on secrets and lies.

That’s how we wind up with so many episodes based on scavenger hunts, and craft projects, and other boring crap that’s clearly staged for the cameras.

But every once in a while, the Duggars let their guards down and allow an honest, unscripted moment to make it to air.

And that’s how we wound up with these cringe-worth scenes.

Enjoy, and try not to die of second-hand embarassment!

1. A Family Tradition

The Duggars have been on TV since the days when George W. Bush was in office. And while the faces may have changed, the family’s ability to humiliate themselves has remained constant.

2. Sad Fact

If you grow up on camera, it’s inevitable that some of your more awkward moments will be shared in front of an audience of millions.

3. No Getting Around It

4. Josh on the Spot

So let’s kick off our list of the most awkward Duggar moments with a little weirdness from the most despicable member of the 19 Kids and Counting clan. We’re talking, of course, about Josh …

5. Josh’s Proposal

Josh and Anna’s engagement was the first one that was witnessed by viewers, and boy, was it one weird occasion.

6. They Did What, Now?

For some reason, Josh decided to surprise Anna at a birthday party, where she and her mom were dressed in matching clothes. Afterward, Josh and Anna sat and furiously rubbed each other’s hands, as they weren’t allowed to touch anywhere else yet. Super awk!
