"The Modern House earns its Recommended standing through strong visual design, a rewarding alternate build, and a notable investment signal pointing to $178+ resale, though the $99.99 price and sparse use of unique parts give some buyers pause, and the unusually low 40% would-recommend rate on LEGO.com suggests the set divides opinion more than its star rating alone implies."
The 2024 Creator Modern House (31153) earns a Recommended verdict anchored in strong visual design and an investment signal from secondary-market analysts, though critics and owners are not fully aligned. Owners give it 4.81 out of 5 across 487 ratings, but only 40% would recommend it according to LEGO's own signal, an unusual gap that hints at silent dissatisfaction. Expert reviews range from JANG's enthusiastic praise for the alternate B model build to Wolf of Bricks highlighting strong resale trajectory from $60 to $178+, while one LEGO.com reviewer flagged scratched windows as a recurrent issue and questioned whether the price is justified by mostly white bricks.
Where they split: The 40% would-recommend rate from LEGO's own platform sits in tension with a 4.81 average star rating, suggesting a subset of buyers who rated positively but would not actively recommend the set to others, possibly due to price-to-parts concerns or the window quality issue. One LEGO.com reviewer explicitly flagged price as a minus while still rating it positively overall.

Owners enjoy the Modern House as a clean, larger-than-expected 3-in-1 build with appealing modern design and good family appeal, though several feel the price is too high relative to the piece count and note that the alternate builds are underwhelming.
