The Browns decided it was time for a change of scenery in 2018, as they shared in an exclusive statement to People, so they packed their numerous bags and relocated from Las Vegas to the Apache State. "We are looking forward to cooler temperatures, the mountain air, scenic views, and the slower lifestyle of Flagstaff," the plural family shared.
According to the show, the move was financially motivated, as The U.S. Sun reported. Christine Brown, the then-third sister wife, revealed that the family thought they would be saving money by selling their Las Vegas properties and moving in together in Arizona. For this reason, they purchased the infamous Coyote Pass land once they came to Flagstaff, with the intention of building each of the sister wives their own houses, as well as one for Kody Brown to enjoy on his own. However, construction never took off. Despite having to rent and spending more than they intended, the Browns insisted their move wasn't a mistake. "Flagstaff is where we're supposed to be. It feels right," Christine shared in an episode.
Another supposed reason for the change of residence was safety, as disclosed by the patriarch himself. "Vegas changed a lot over the last few years. We started worrying a lot more about what the kids are getting exposed to," Kody shared on the show (via In Touch Weekly).
Years later, it turns out Robyn Brown was the impetus for the move, according to her stepchildren.
