Inside Sarah Jane Nader’s $11.5 Million SoHo Penthouse | House Tour 2026

Cue the music, lace up those dancing shoes, and meet the stars stepping into the ballroom. The season 35 celebrity cast of Dancing with the Stars was unveiled live Wednesday on Good Morning America, and the lineup includes a chef, social media stars, athletes, reality stars, television and film actors, and more. Buried inside that announcement was a pairing nobody saw coming a few years ago. Reality television personality Sarah Jane Nader, the youngest of the four Nader sisters, stepping into the ballroom with rookie pro Haley Bills, a former season 34 troupe member making her full debut as a professional dancer. Their partnership marks only the third same-sex pairing in the show's history. For a 23-year-old from Baton Rouge who was, not so long ago, just the youngest sister trailing behind Brooks Nader's modeling career, this is the moment the spotlight turned fully and squarely onto her. Today we are talking about Sarah Jane Nader, the model, philanthropist, and Love Thy Nader breakout who just became a Dancing with the Stars season 35 contestant, and we are going inside the 11 and a half million-dollar SoHo penthouse she shares with her three sisters, the place where two seasons of reality television have already been filmed. We are covering the Louisiana upbringing that shaped all four Nader sisters, the Fordham University education that set Sarah Jane apart from her siblings, the nonprofit work she balances alongside modeling, and the very public year that has followed the debut of her family's Hulu docu-series. This is Sarah Jane Nader told through the home she lives in and the life that got her there. Sarah Jane Nader was born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The youngest of four sisters in what her eldest sister Brooks has described as an extremely Christian, extremely conservative household, the family did not have a lot of money growing up. Their father worked for a non-profit organization for the majority of the sisters childhood, while their mother stayed home raising four girls who were, by design and necessity, each other's primary source of entertainment. Sunday mornings meant church at 8:00 in dresses and bows for 3 hours at a stretch. The sisters are close in age, roughly 5 years apart apart across the group. And that proximity built the kind of bond that would eventually become the entire premise of a television show. Brooks left first, moving to New York City in 2016 for an internship before relocating permanently in 2017 to chase modeling full-time. Sarah Jane was still in middle school when she visited her oldest sister in the city and decided right then that this was where her own life needed to happen. She has said that anything that could get her to New York felt like the goal because New York meant options. She enrolled at Fordham University, majoring in technology and media, a choice that distinguished her from her sisters. Mary Holland went into finance, working as an analyst at Deutsche Bank. Grace Ann pursued a master's degree in public health. Sarah Jane pursued a degree that would let her build a career at the intersection of digital platforms and traditional media, all while modeling on the side. She began modeling in the summer of 2021, signing with Ford models before later moving to Freedom Models, building a portfolio of fashion, beauty, and lifestyle campaigns that ran alongside her studies rather than replacing them. Away from the camera, she took on a role with Influencer Social Responsibility, a non-profit organization, where she now works on talent partnerships. It is the kind of dual-track career, modeling on one hand, non-profit strategy on the other, that reflects a specific kind of ambition. Not simply famous for being famous, but building something with an actual professional shape to it, even as her public profile exploded around her. That explosion arrived in August 2025 when Love Thy Neighbor premiered on Freeform and Hulu. Executive produced by Jimmy Kimmel, the docu-series followed all four sisters, Brooks, Mary Holland, Grace Anne, and Sarah Jane, as they built lives together in New York. With Brooks' Sports Illustrated cover, her headline-making divorce, and her relationship with former Dancing with the Stars partner Gleb Savchenko providing the season's central drama, but Sarah Jane carved out her own storylines. One episode, Easter Slaps, found her bringing a girlfriend home for a family crawfish boil and confronting a relative over their reaction. Another followed her navigating a pride party that spiraled after an unexpected message arrived. Critics compared the show to the early seasons of Keeping Up with the Kardashians for its focus on sisterhood over manufactured conflict, and the series was renewed for a second season by November 2025. Now, let's go inside the home where nearly all of it was filmed. The Nader sisters moved into their SoHo apartment together as the show was gearing up to shoot, and the space itself became something close to a fifth character in the series. The penthouse, reported at a value of roughly 11 and 1/2 million dollars, spans multiple terraces, three in total, including one outfitted with an outdoor shower, a detail that has circulated widely since the show's premiere as exactly the kind of amenity built for a New York summer spent partly outdoors and partly on camera. The building sits in the heart of SoHo, the neighborhood the show's own marketing leaned into directly, describing itself as set against the backdrop of SoHo lofts, fashion campaigns, and skyscraper dreams. It is the kind of apartment that photographs like an editorial spread almost by accident. Open sightlines, industrial architectural bones softened by the kind of furniture four 20-something sisters would actually choose to live with and enough separate space thanks to those three terraces for four strong personalities to occasionally get some air from each other without leaving the building. For Sarah Jane specifically, the apartment has doubled as home base for a personal life that has become increasingly public alongside her career. In August 2026, she was spotted on a date in Brooklyn with comedian Pete Davidson months after his previous relationship ended. A pairing that reportedly left even Brooks a little surprised. Sarah Jane has spoken about her sister's influence in shaping how she approaches relationships and people generally, crediting Brooks with teaching her the importance of remembering names and details about the people she meets. A skill that translates directly into both modeling and the non-profit partnership work she does at Influencer Social Responsibility. And now there is Dancing with the Stars. Paired with Hayley Bills in the show's third ever same-sex partnership, Sarah Jane joins a season 35 cast that includes Julia Stiles, Jenna Dewan, Harry Shum Jr., Giada De Laurentiis, and fellow reality personalities from Summer House and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives under returning judges Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli with Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough back as hosts. It is in some ways the natural continuation of a family story that already includes one Dancing with the Stars run. Brooks competed in season 33 finishing in ninth place. Except this time it is the sister who spent her adolescence watching from the sidelines. The one who moved to New York because her big sister's life looked like something worth chasing. Stepping into the ballroom herself. From a middle schooler visiting Brooks in New York to a Fordham graduate balancing modeling with non-profit work to a reality television lead filming inside an 11 and a half million dollar Soho penthouse to a season 35 Dancing with the Stars contestant making history in a same-sex pairing, Sarah Jane Nader's story has moved fast and it shows no sign of slowing down. So, here's the question. Does Sarah Jane's Dancing with the Stars run make her the breakout Nader sister the show has been building toward or will Brooks always be the one the spotlight follows first?
