Steve Harvey's House (former)
Little Elm, TX
The Story
Comedian and host of Family Feud since 2010, with the syndicated Steve Harvey Morning Show on weekday radio since 2000. One of the 4 stand-ups in Spike Lee’s 2000 film The Original Kings of Comedy.
The house went up in 2003 in a small subdivision of large lots outside Little Elm’s town limits, in unincorporated Denton County. The appraisal roll carries a 2010 effective year, the figure appraisers reset after a major update.
Little Elm sits on Peters Colony land the King family settled in 1844. Growth came with the Garza-Little Elm Reservoir, now Lake Lewisville, in the mid-1950s, and the town incorporated in 1966.
Steve owned it until July 10, 2020, the date on the deed that moved it to its next owners. The county roll today lists the house with a homestead exemption, so somebody lives there full time.
Variety reported the sale in July 2020, weeks after reporting his purchase of Tyler Perry’s former Atlanta estate. Per La Opinión’s account of that story, the house had gone unsold for 2 years and been rented out in between.
For 7 straight years through 2015, NBC 5 reported, Steve hosted nearly 100 boys from across the country at his Little Elm ranch for the Steve Harvey Mentoring Program.
The Texas Senate commended the 2015 camp in Resolution 818, adopted May 15, with workshops on personal responsibility, dream-building, nutrition, and fitness. Its sponsor is the Steve and Marjorie Harvey Foundation.
