Kenya Moore House: The Story of Moore Manor, From a $515K Shell to 2026

Kenya Moore’s house has a name, and anyone who watched The Real Housewives of Atlanta knows it: Moore Manor. When she found it in 2015 it was a half-built contemporary with no doors, something she compared to a set from The Blair Witch Project. She paid $515,000 in cash, finished it on camera, and has lived there with her daughter Brooklyn ever since.

Nearly every page about the house repeats the same two numbers, $515,000 and $1.5 million. The first is a documented purchase price. The second is older and shakier than it looks.

This guide covers how the house was bought and built, what’s inside, what it’s actually worth, and whether she’s selling.

Before Moore Manor: The Rental Years

Moore didn’t start out as an owner on the show. In Season 5 she lived in a rented mansion of about 7,000 square feet, and the stay ended in a dispute with her landlord. In Season 6 she was living in a hotel while she house-hunted. At one point she considered a $1.65 million penthouse and turned it down as too small.

That history explains the choice she eventually made. She wanted a contemporary house, and her agent told TMZ at the time that contemporary homes in the area were scarce. The one she found happened to be unfinished.

Buying a House With No Doors (2015)

TMZ broke the purchase in November 2015. Moore paid $515,000 in cash for a partly built house whose previous owner had run out of money before finishing it. It had no doors. The remodel was budgeted at around $400,000, and her agent predicted that once finished it “would easily go for $1.5 mil.”

That forecast is where the $1.5 million figure attached to the house comes from. It was a projection made before any work began, not an appraisal.

Building It on Camera

The construction became a Season 9 storyline in 2016. Moore held a housewarming party while the house was still unfinished, with baseboards, paint, the driveway and the theater room all incomplete. She described the look she was after as “modern and slick and sexy,” and the finished house follows that brief. She opened up the main level, used floor-to-ceiling windows wherever she could, and kept the palette clean and neutral.

Few Housewives have renovated this publicly. The closest comparison on this site is Margaret Josephs’ Englewood Tudor, another multi-year project that played out in front of the cameras.

Moore Manor and Her Marriage

Moore bought the house on her own, before her marriage. She married restaurateur Marc Daly in a private ceremony in St. Lucia in June 2017, and their daughter, Brooklyn, was born in November 2018. Daly kept his business and home base in Brooklyn, New York, and the distance between the two cities became a recurring storyline. The couple separated in 2019, and Moore announced in December 2023 that the divorce was final after more than three years of litigation.

The house was part of that fight. Daly had sought a share of it, but under the settlement each kept their own property. Daly received no rights to Moore Manor, Collider reported.

Inside Moore Manor

The main level is one continuous space. The living room, dining area and kitchen flow into each other, and Moore has called her “whole open concept — living room, dining room, kitchen” one of her favourite things about the house. The living room is anchored by a fireplace, with built-in shelving for her Miss USA memorabilia. The kitchen has white marble countertops, sleek cabinetry, and an oversized island that doubles as casual seating. Floor-to-ceiling windows line the walls and pull in natural light.

Upstairs, the primary suite has a sitting area and a neutral palette with lavender accents, a colour that carries into her closet. The primary bathroom has become a celebrity in its own right. A freestanding soaking tub sits beneath a starburst chandelier, and the $6,000 smart toilet, which plays music and cleans itself, got its own moment on the show.

Two rooms reflect how Moore works. Her glam room, built for hair, makeup, and wardrobe, is finished in glittering glass wallpaper under a chandelier. The theater room, one of the spaces still unfinished at the housewarming, is now the family’s media room. Brooklyn’s room has changed as she’s grown, from a nursery to a space with more of her own personality.

Most of what’s known about the interior comes from RHOA itself, where the house has been on camera since Season 9, and from Bravo’s photo features. Moore hasn’t released a standalone video tour.

Pool and Cabanas

The backyard got its biggest upgrade in 2021 and 2022, when Moore added a pool, a deck, and cabanas draped in white curtains. The cabanas give shade through Georgia summers and a resort feel that’s unusual for a private home. It’s the only major addition since the original build.

What Is Moore Manor Worth?

Sites that call the house a “$1.5 million estate” are repeating the 2015 forecast from her agent. No appraisal, listing or sale since then has tested that number. The house has never been put on the market, so there is no asking price to point to either. That’s also why there’s nothing to find on Zillow or other listing sites: any figure they show is an automated estimate, not a price anyone has paid or asked.

What can be said is how much has gone into it: the $515,000 purchase, a remodel budgeted at around $400,000 in 2015, and the pool and cabanas six years later. If Moore does sell, the figure will be public. Georgia records sale prices, unlike states such as Texas.

Is Kenya Moore Selling?

Moore still owns Moore Manor. She bought it on her own before her marriage; the divorce settlement left it with her, and no sale or listing has been recorded since. Selling is something she has talked about, though.

In May 2023, Moore told Bravo her plan for the house was “moving.” The house has no room for the full gym she has in storage, and she wants a dance studio and a guest house next time. She also has an unusual plan for the sale: an international live auction, including the furniture and custom artwork she made, for “the most iconic house in Atlanta.”

Since then, her life has changed more than her address. In 2024, she left RHOA in the middle of Season 16 after an incident at an event held at her Kenya Moore Hair Spa. The spa, a leased commercial space and not the house, then became the subject of a dispute with its landlord. In February 2026, a Georgia court ordered her to pay about $88,000 in back rent and utilities. Moore disputed the claim, saying the landlord owed her around $80,000 in improvement funds on a space she had spent more than $300,000 building out. She moved out of the salon that April.

As of September 2026, the auction she talked about in 2023 hasn’t happened, and the Kenya Moore house remains her home.
