The former house in Moorpark was a Spanish-style mansion perched at the top of a gated street. It has a palatial backyard, a pool, an outdoor gym, a whirlpool spa, and a large kitchen and dining quarters.[1] The Hype House location has changed twice; the collaborative originally used a series of two different houses in Los Angeles proper before moving to its final location in Moorpark before it was sold away in August 2024.[1][2] The membership of the collaborative has also evolved over time.
The last active members before it was dissolved include Thomas Petrou and Mia Hayward.

Most of its funding for creation came from Daisy Keech,[4]Chase Hudson, Thomas Petrou, Alex Warren, Dixie D'Amelio, and Addison Rae. Its membership peaked at twenty-one members before cofounder Daisy Keech, citing internal disputes with other members as the reason for her departure, quit in March 2020.[5] In May 2020, the D'Amelios' representative confirmed the sisters also left the collective when "The Hype House started to become more of a business."[6] Darianka Sanchez was about to join the Hype House,[when?] but accusations of hacking and bullying—including claims of bullying Kenzie Ziegler—surfaced. The Hype House issued a statement denying her membership.[7]Larray, who was already an established YouTuber and TikTok personality, joined in January 2020 but confirmed in his livestream that he had left later that year.[8] Russian model Renata Valliulina (also known as Renata Ri) joined the House in December of that year.[citation needed]

Sam Dezz and Brooke Monk joined the House on of April 1, 2022. Paige Taylor officially became a member on May 14, 2022, but she left in October.[citation needed] Throughout May 2022, the Hype House frequently collaborated with Breezy Boys LA, another content house, to create videos. Then, on June 3, 2022, all the previous Breezy Boy members (Ace Akers, Bryce Parker, Eddie Preciado, Jacob Day, Jackson Dean, and Kristian Ramey) became official Hype House members.[citation needed] All but Jacob Day had left the House by October that year.
