At last D&Co presents the Final Fifteen of the 10th Bi-annual Housing Week in Middle Earth contest !
It’s time for everyone to sit down with a pen and paper (and maybe something to drink/eat) and tally up the points for their favorite Rohan Houses in this edition of Housing Week in Middle-Earth contest.
First of all I want to warmly thank every single one of the entrants who decided to participate in this winter’s contest ! There were 96 total entries this time around (new record) !
Again, thank you to everyone who participated (and sorry for being late) !
Unfortunately, as is always the case, choices had to be made. I decided to present a list of 15 homes with descriptions and pictures. As always, it is very complicated to organize a contest with numbers beyond this.
However, I want the home owners whom I could not select to know I appreciate their participation very much. As always, my decisions are often based on a number of different criteria but everyone had some nice and unique things to show. The unselected houses will be presented at the end of the competition.
So here they are, 15 houses from which a single one will be chosen to rule them all ! As always, a photo report has been created for each house but I strongly encourage you to visit them all yourselves if possible. Take your time in exploring them, tally up the numbers, cast your votes, and enjoy !
Note: the name of the neighborhood is not necessarily very similar depending on the language used in the game, so the language of the client (launcher) is specified each time under the address.

With regards to the voting….
Housing Week in Middle Earth would not be what it is without your (the public’s) thoughts and participation. Thank you for your time in considering the final candidates and submitting your votes.
The voting system :
- Each house is given an average score from 1 to 10 made up of the public’s and the jury’s votes
- The weighting is as follows : 30% for the Jury, 70% for the public
- The Jury determines the winner of the Jury Prize
- The Rewards are listed here.
The rules :
- You have until Sunday, November 8th, 11:59pm EST time, to vote.
- You can rate each house anywhere from 1 to 10
- You can vote for one or more houses, there are no restrictions
- One vote per person (I'm watching you :p!)
You can vote for yourself if you like.
Play fair !
- Votes like "I give myself a 10 and everyone else a 1" will be refused. You can give yourself a 10 but intentionally lowering the average score of other houses will not be considered.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask !

I can’t wait to visit all of these houses (I’ve already seen 5 or 6 of them but will visit those again as well)! Visiting and voting is my favorite part of these Housing Weeks in Middle Earth! And also all the discussion that takes place around them. Looking forward to the next few weeks!
I think I may have voted backwards! I gave my favorite house a 10 and the rest on down the line to about 4. Should I have marked my favorite as #1 and on up? I am sorry if I did it backwards. Can it be adjusted? Or at least please note that when tallying comes around! 🙁

You did it the way it was expected 😉
Oh Whew! So glad I did it correctly! They were all pretty awesome homes.
It’s been a pleasure viewing all these creatively decorated homes–I’m especially honored to have been included in such great company!
In almost fourteen years of roaming the lands of Middle Earth, I never felt the urge to take up home ownership until I learned of the new Rohan neighborhoods. I toured the tower property of my dreams, finally dropped the hammer, and quickly became obsessed.
This website has been a trove throughout the entire process. Thank you so much for the time and energy you’ve devoted to this great resource, and for organizing this wonderful contest!
