A suburban Las Vegas home filled to the brim with a chaotic collection of statues, mounted animal heads, and baroque furniture drew curiosity seekers on social media. The residence jampacked with knickknacks earned a ton of clicks and is the week’s most popular home on ®.
Aside from the bright magnolia exterior, the home looks like any other suburban, single-family house. But the interiors are a whole different story.
Hundreds of sets of eyes follow you from room to room—there are life-size mannequins, dolls, moose heads, and religious statuary throughout. Even the furniture in the photos appears to have been transported from a different time and place. All of these things must have meant a great deal to the owner, which is perhaps what makes these particular pictures so appealing. It’s a peek into someone else’s strange and private world.
You also clicked on the most expensive home in Kansas, a wild converted schoolhouse in Colorado, and a fancy Ohio spread being sold by a local auto magnate.
If there’s a common thread to be found throughout this week’s list of most popular homes, it’s the idea that home can be a world you create all your own.
But don’t take our word for it—scroll on down and survey these 10 popular properties for yourself.

5. 67300 Circle Dr, Hereford, CO
Price: $489,900
Why it’s here: This historic schoolhouse was converted into a 4,343-square-foot residence, which is long on style but decidedly short on personal space.
The upstairs bathroom is situated in the middle of the bedroom and has no walls for privacy. A spare “bedroom” on the first floor looks a little like a cross between a dorm and a hospital ward. And while the institutional feel is a bit hard to shake, there’s also plenty of style. For a buyer who’s not demure, this could be the find of a lifetime.
Hereford, CO
