This is how I visualise a tiny home community. So many of them are almost barren, with roads and no gardens, trees etc. This is such a gorgeous setting and I am so jealous ❤
I know what you mean. They look bleak sometimes but I wonder if that’s because the residents are not as established. Maybe in ten years the gardens will be fuller.
What could be more perfect than having a ground floor bedroom, with a walk in closet and attached bathroom. This guy has got everything a person needs, even a corner office and a good size porch. Perfect.
You are so right on your comment. The only thing I would add is 50 more feet. So you could walk around bed to make it. If you ever had top bunk beds, you understand. 😅 I truly love the front porch. Trish 9/23/24 Stay Safe.
I wish the powers that be would realize how many people want this. It shouldn't be so difficult to build a community like this anywhere in the US. Enjoy your Tiny, Rich; it's beautiful.
Anyone in positions of power don't care. I hope more people who are capable and have the desire and need are inspired to build more little villages like this. ❤
@@BrooklynAlienApparently not enough profit in it for builders and local governments, or they would be everywhere in the US. We need these big time in the Seattle area with housing costs absolutely out of control. The city is finally loosening up laws about MIL cottages et al. But we don't have individual tiny home communities such as this; only multi, mixed income high density units. 😢
I forget what they are called. But, LA had a lot of small little houses built like this (communal gardenspace, etc) in the early 20th century. Wish we would go back to building like this again.
I think there should be more of these communities built. It's a perfect affordable solution for home ownership. I love the sense of community as well. Hopefully, the days of huge mansions will be a thing of the past.
honestly , this type of housing , with small cottages , were all over the country. We absolutely need to stop putting obstacles up to this...especially with our housing crisis ( non home owners driving the market- now that could use more regulation)
A usable front porch is a must. It is, in essence, the main living room. I live on an island in the Mediterranean and life takes place outside here. Most homes are too big. There are areas of my house that I hardly ever go into. For me, that porch is the best thing about this house.😊
I truly respect his minimalism. Great video. I lived in a community like this years ago, it was great for the people with children, we all watched them. Thanks A & C❣
What a wonderful community. He's right about the old ways. We watch out for each other in your neighborhood. I do wish we could get more communities like this,in other surroundings, states. Trish 9/ 23/24 Stay Safe.
These are absolutely adorable but having to stop and talk to a neighbor multiple times in a day sounds like a complete nightmare to my introverted yet People Pleasing personality. However y'all look super happy and that makes me happy.
As an introverted Southerner, I can say you just get used to it. Not everyone wants to have a 5 minute conversation, just a smile and a "how's your day treatin' you?" gets me most of the way.
Everyone needs to talk to their town planning officials about it - meetings are open to the public. Affordable housing is a big issue this year, so vote for local and national candidates who will help to work for solutions like this!
I love this community. I don’t know if I could make 259sq foot to work but could definitely make 500 sq foot BUT he is happy and that’s all that matters. It’s clean and comfortable for him and I love that ! :)
This tiny home community seems too perfect. It's absolutely the way people should be able to live. This gentleman is so awesome. I love his demeanor and attitude.
This community is gorgeous-so many other videos I've seen show space gobbled up by big vehicles. Keeping the cars in one area is brilliant, and what harm does a short walk do? Instead of boring and unimaginative landscaping, the pollinator gardens here are lovely. It all fosters community. More of this pls!
This needs to be accessible for those of us that find ourselves in a less than conventional living situation. Not everyone can afford a standard 4 bedroom home in the suburbs and most of us don't need that much space. My partner of 7.5 years passed away suddenly. I imagine he didn't plan it to be this way...I am 37 and find myself living with my sister or being homeless. Those are my options. A tiny community that welcomes a single person with no children or other responsibilities would have been a dream come true. These are still illegal in so many states. I hope to be well in my healing journey to be able to advocate for this lifestyle. People should know the importance of affordable housing options. Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Love the architecture of the house and bedroom on first floor, sense of community, limited amenities outside and lot ownership which keeps HOA low. A covered solar carport with limited storage could be cool too. I'm attached to multiple loud neighbors so would be especially cautious in my next move. I aspire to travel in a van and then to settle in a small home somewhere. I love how owning less allows one to have more life experiences. Thank you for the great inspiration.
@@TinyHouseExpedition How does one go to do this as a bachelorette maybe A differently abled single adult person with a differently abled adult child. How??? lol seriously, any tips?
I understand this. different stages now but just saying how would you go about doing this type of move with just getting up when you’re disabled to the context of unknown origin and differently abled?
I love everything about this! But the HOA fee is way too high for the area and space they have. I live outside Altanta in a neighborhood with an HOA and our fee is $60 per month which includes maintenance of front lawn/fence, street lights and we have a pool and tennis court.
Not only a beautiful community, but exactly what I envision the ideal “community” would be…centered around a garden and gathering area. Beautiful home and well planned ♥
I like this because it’s how people used to communicate and get to know each other. Of course, that can sometimes be an issue, but what a beautiful environment and your home is absolutely beautiful! I am so glad to see a fantastic community like this, and I hope more start. We have spent far too long, as a society, not looking each other face to face. I loved your tour and your windows are great!!! The natural light is incredible. Thanks 😊❤
When you guys did the video with Will my wife and I saw a shot of Rich’s house and were hoping you could interview the owner and show their place!! Thank you both and to Rich for sharing his beautiful home. Love the story of this neighborhood ❤
I think what would be a great idea is to interview potential buyers to have each neighborhood built to have like minded buyers. I can't imagine living so close to a group of people that aren't my people😊 My son used to work in college housing and made sure to link up people that would get along and be happy! Win win
Very nice tiny house and community. I love the layout of his home. Zoning is one of the biggest roadblocks and frustrations of people wanting to go tiny. Kudos to Rich and the organizations that are working hard to educate and push for changes in zoning to allow tiny homes and tiny home communities. Thanks for the tour!
I would love to get in there and make some changes to furniture choices and placement. And add a functional kitchen island. It’s an adorable little home that could have a lot more function. But if it works for him, that’s all that really matters 😊
@@kiwigirljacks When I see a place that has no character, it's a reflection of the person that lives there. You can still be a minimalist and be vibrant with your choices. This looks like he lost everything in the divorce...no judgement, just an observation.
I really like the community aspect of where he lives. The way it's set up with the common garden area and all of the vegetation and houses facing each other with front porches is really appealing and inviting and conducive for people looking out for each other. Not quite keen on his particular set up, it feels a bit tight for me, but that's obviously a personal choice, and he's quite happy.
For a 250 sq ft house, $112,000 is a lot of money. I remember when tiny houses this small were $10,000 but everything costs more with inflation. The main thing is he is very happy with his home.

HOA fees seem high - am in a four season area so as much as I appreciate the value of a great balcony / deck / porch - this part of a tiny house wouldn’t be as important to me as a slightly larger living room - thnx for sharing 🇨🇦🙏
It's like the tiny house in storybook, so cute. You could raise the bed with stackable rubber blocks to add storage under the bed, for example, storage bins.
This is the second video I’ve seen featuring this community. I envy the actual sense of community. In my neighborhood, garages are attached to the front of homes for the most part so people drive in, close their garage door and enter their home from their garage, just as Rich described. No one speaks to anyone else. Now that I’m retired and home all day I make a point to say hello to my neighbors if they are out when I walk our dog. Most just give me a blank stare. It’s creepy. Hopefully I won’t have to rely on them someday because I don’t see how I possibly could.
Finally a tiny house with the perfect size kitchen, I have seen too many tiny houses with regular house size kitchens that take up too much living space, the only thing I would change is for more counter space replace the four burner stove what a two burner unit to allow for more counter space.
Very nice community. The house would probably look a little bit more cozy and appealing if it had an accent wall, or if the walls were not all stark white. Unfortunate that the picture window near the refrigerator has less than a 36 inch rise. If the bottom window height were raised to 36 inches or more, a pull up breakfast bar could be added that could seat two people (and they would be able to look out the window), and also serve as a prep space (game area etc.). He enjoys eating outside though, and is very happy with what works for him. He’s correct about public transport, and how neighbors do not interact anymore. All the best to him 👍🏼
You need an island for extra storage and prep work, maybe? As well, a development like this needs a shed for each unit where you can store bikes etc. as well as communal covered outdoor bbq and gathering area would be nice. Retirees could not handle that ladder though😂
It’s remarkable how things come together. What a beautiful and grand tiny home! I have a 425 sf home that I rent to university students. The sofa side table is a 1” x 4” pine board cut to 30” length and mounted to the wall on l-shaped brackets. This is also a perfect bedside table.
Finally!! This is what I've been looking for - you own the tiny home and the land! I'm so tired of seeing all of these "tiny home communities" taking advantage of people with their crazy leases that just keep increasing. Pretty soon, a lot of people on fixed incomes are priced out of the community, and then they're stuck with a tiny home that they can't live in and for which they can't recover their full purchase price. Ripoff.
OMG this is beautiful. If someone owns land they should really consider this type of living. Start a tiny community, charge for a piece of land so people can build a tiny home. Everyone can look out for each other. It's also easy to maintain...Very nice and Thank you for sharing....XO
Its a little gem. The setting is beautiful! Love the front porch & storage loft ladder is amazing. He's maximized the space to perfection! Blessings 🙏💞
Thank Goodnees; Finally, good looking small / tiny houses. PS SimPure: Teflon tape is not needed on gasketed compression fittings. The rubber O ring seals the water in rather than the threads.
What a beautiful little house and the setting looks like such a peaceful and serene community! I love it! The only thing about the house that I would change is the bedroom. It seems like making the bed would be like going to the gym! I has to be a challenge. Could use a bit more space for that area. Otherwise, it seems perfect to me!
@@serenakoleno9338 In the bedroom area, I would swap the bed out for a sleeper sofa and use it as a living room during the day and a bedroom at night.
Exactly. I don't want to get on my hands and knees to make the bed. I want walking space on 3 sides. I would also want space for a bedside table for a lamp and a clock.
I had the same exact piece of furniture - with the two stools and the one rounded side that lifted up. I loved it!! Thing is - that was when we lived in Europe.. three houses ago. 😉
We definitely need these communities here in Canada as well I love your's and your Tiny Home love the beautiful deck, the layout of your home main floor bedroom is what Id want at my age i am 65. the bathroom , kitchen sitting area 's are perfect Your blessed . community fire pit I feel is an awesome idea nice area to meet your immediate neighbours for a get together around the gardens, edible and non edible . The various colours of the homes I also love , their bright and give that homey friendly feel . A place I would love to live, ID feel safe further Id feel like I was living in a country area , ( I hate concrete jungles ). Keep doing what you're doing Rich
wow for a 250 sqt. house he really has a lot going in it. he nailed the bathroom there is more room in it than in some bigger ones..(his is bigger and layed out better than mine and I live in a reg. 1100 sqt house..well i now I am a little jealous :) ). he's got a closet, washer and dryer, couch and office space.. the kitchen is small but with one person no need to cook big meals.. i really like this one..
This is what I envision when we downsize. Recently, I’ve been taking stock of our daily life and realized we really do not need as much space and stuff after all. There are only a few things we need on a daily basis. If we get rid of all the things we have not used in at least three years, we could move to a house a third of the size where we live now (and we live in a reasonably sized house at 1800 sq.ft.). One suggestion: if you swap out your hangers for those thin velvet-coated ones, you’ll fit even more hanging clothes in your closet.

I would love to live like this now I'm on my own, if you think about it this is all you need if you live alone. Its like a little community, I love it.
Depends. I have heard nightmare stories about HOAs. I have lived in an HOA community for years, and it's good. Keeps our community clean, safe & quiet, and the fee is reasonable. The key is not to have overbearing or power crazy HOA officers. Our rules are common sense and not unreasonable. The rules in our community were established to help us maintain clean, attractive common areas for all to enjoy. Our property values stay high because homes are maintained, grass is cut, no broken down cars in the streets or driveways, etc. My community's HOA is not ridiculously restrictive. It does not tell us what type flowers to plant in our yards, or demand that we plant trees- or cut them down, etc. We have groups of neighbors who plan socials like BBQ get-togethers and ice cream parties. Our swim & tennis area is kept clean & functional with fees. The swim/tennis is optional. HOAs don't have to be a bad intity. It's the people involved in the HOAs who make them a positive or negative force.

If you put your pillow on the other end of the bed you can have a little bedside table under the window.

The barren ones I've seen are in New Mexico, which doesn't have a lot of water for lush greenery. Georgia does.

Yes. And a useable lift for storage out of sight and useable!
I could live in this house. I might go with a double bed to get a side table, though! 😂

In my neighborhood, garages are attached to the front of homes for the most part so people drive in, close their garage door and enter their home from their garage, just as Rich described. No one speaks to anyone else. Now that I’m retired and home all day I make a point to say hello to my neighbors if they are out when I walk our dog. Most just give me a blank stare. It’s creepy. Hopefully I won’t have to rely on them someday because I don’t see how I possibly could.
Finally a tiny house with the perfect size kitchen, I have seen too many tiny houses with regular house size kitchens that take up too much living space, the only thing I would change is for more counter space replace the four burner stove what a two burner unit to allow for more counter space.
Very nice community. The house would probably look a little bit more cozy and appealing if it had an accent wall, or if the walls were not all stark white. Unfortunate that the picture window near the refrigerator has less than a 36 inch rise. If the bottom window height were raised to 36 inches or more, a pull up breakfast bar could be added that could seat two people (and they would be able to look out the window), and also serve as a prep space (game area etc.). He enjoys eating outside though, and is very happy with what works for him. He’s correct about public transport, and how neighbors do not interact anymore. All the best to him 👍🏼
We need places like this all over the country!
💯❣️
You need an island for extra storage and prep work, maybe? As well, a development like this needs a shed for each unit where you can store bikes etc. as well as communal covered outdoor bbq and gathering area would be nice. Retirees could not handle that ladder though😂
It’s remarkable how things come together. What a beautiful and grand tiny home!
I have a 425 sf home that I rent to university students. The sofa side table is a 1” x 4” pine board cut to 30” length and mounted to the wall on l-shaped brackets. This is also a perfect bedside table.
Finally!! This is what I've been looking for - you own the tiny home and the land! I'm so tired of seeing all of these "tiny home communities" taking advantage of people with their crazy leases that just keep increasing. Pretty soon, a lot of people on fixed incomes are priced out of the community, and then they're stuck with a tiny home that they can't live in and for which they can't recover their full purchase price. Ripoff.
I love the sense of community at this place. Kudos
Finally, artwork that covers the electrical box. Your place is lovely.❤
I was sold until $112k and HOA. Nope not a great space.
That looks like it would be a nice place to live as long as you liked your neighbors.
What an inspiration! The house and his health and fitness journey…
OMG this is beautiful. If someone owns land they should really consider this type of living. Start a tiny community, charge for a piece of land so people can build a tiny home. Everyone can look out for each other. It's also easy to maintain...Very nice and Thank you for sharing....XO
I love this community concept we need this up here in virginia. Especially around the Lynchburg area
It's so practical in many ways 🙂
What a beautiful and cozy ...cute and sweet ...tiny home..Love it.🏠
I am very impressed. Looks great. The community looks good too. I hope you are very happy there. I am 77 and live in Australia.
Its a little gem. The setting is beautiful! Love the front porch & storage loft ladder is amazing. He's maximized the space to perfection! Blessings 🙏💞
It's so tiny and yet so spacious....absolutely love this!
The size is good however like others are saying the windows could have been higher to allow more kitchen. Love the laundry closet.
You can see that the windows cannot be higher because of the pitch of the roof.
@@katella ok, try making them smaller in size. This looks like the layout to a house plans I had looked at. The windows were shorter. ✌️
Thank Goodnees; Finally, good looking small / tiny houses.
PS SimPure: Teflon tape is not needed on gasketed compression fittings. The rubber O ring seals the water in rather than the threads.
Happy to see a tiny house that its not on a trailer. Love these gorgeous cottages.
What a beautiful little house and the setting looks like such a peaceful and serene community! I love it! The only thing about the house that I would change is the bedroom. It seems like making the bed would be like going to the gym! I has to be a challenge. Could use a bit more space for that area. Otherwise, it seems perfect to me!
If you don't need a queen size you could easily access a twin bed.
@@serenakoleno9338 In the bedroom area, I would swap the bed out for a sleeper sofa and use it as a living room during the day and a bedroom at night.
@@stevenalexander4721 Having done it before, sleeper sofas aren't all that comfortable to sleep on regularly, especially when you get older.
Exactly. I don't want to get on my hands and knees to make the bed. I want walking space on 3 sides. I would also want space for a bedside table for a lamp and a clock.
Your house looks great. Congratulations.
That was a great video. I hope you'll be able to show other houses in that community.
Awesome tiny house!! Could you have a small noghtstand if you flipped the head of your bed? Just a thought:)
I love the concept of this tiny home community but I could never live in a tiny house this tiny!!
I had the same exact piece of furniture - with the two stools and the one rounded side that lifted up. I loved it!! Thing is - that was when we lived in Europe.. three houses ago. 😉
❤ what a nice little house
Your home and community is truly beautiful,, you’re all blessed to have found this amazing place. Good Luck,, I truly love it!!!❤❤
We definitely need these communities here in Canada as well I love your's and your Tiny Home love the beautiful deck, the layout of your home main floor bedroom is what Id want at my age i am 65. the bathroom , kitchen sitting area 's are perfect Your blessed . community fire pit I feel is an awesome idea nice area to meet your immediate neighbours for a get together around the gardens, edible and non edible . The various colours of the homes I also love , their bright and give that homey friendly feel . A place I would love to live, ID feel safe further Id feel like I was living in a country area , ( I hate concrete jungles ). Keep doing what you're doing Rich
Love the porch, the community and so much attention to detail. I can't imagine living in a 2,000 sf or larger!
I love this tiny house, especially the porch.
You could sleep w/ your head towards the window and put a small bedside table in front of the window, with a small lamp and room for a drink of water.
It's a perfect Basic home 👍👍👍
wow for a 250 sqt. house he really has a lot going in it. he nailed the bathroom there is more room in it than in some bigger ones..(his is bigger and layed out better than mine and I live in a reg. 1100 sqt house..well i now I am a little jealous :) ). he's got a closet, washer and dryer, couch and office space.. the kitchen is small but with one person no need to cook big meals.. i really like this one..
OH my! I would love to live in this little community!!! It will be so much fun.
Love this community so cool!!! This is a great concept for our housing shortage we need more of these!! Thank you for sharing!
I’ve always wanted to see the smallest house! So glad to see a tour! It’s perfect 😊
Very nice tiny house and lifestyle! A well kept “BACHELOR PAD”! I Love his front porch, as much as I love mine.❤️
I think the girlfriend is a beard !
Please feature more of these cottage houses.
This is what I envision when we downsize. Recently, I’ve been taking stock of our daily life and realized we really do not need as much space and stuff after all. There are only a few things we need on a daily basis. If we get rid of all the things we have not used in at least three years, we could move to a house a third of the size where we live now (and we live in a reasonably sized house at 1800 sq.ft.). One suggestion: if you swap out your hangers for those thin velvet-coated ones, you’ll fit even more hanging clothes in your closet.
Great tip! Love to hear about introspection 😊✨
Beautiful! This is how it should be.
SimPure V7 Under Sink 5-Stage Water Filter YAY finally an item I might look into !! Under$100 initial price is a good starting point. This AD was great and refreshing Christian!
Wonderful little community and home! I wish there were some up by Cincinnati Oh- I kinda like my area... Thanks, A &C
shivering black bell thumbs up hearts!
What a nice place to live
I would love to live like this now I'm on my own, if you think about it this is all you need if you live alone. Its like a little community, I love it.
I love that it has a washer and dryer!
The Hoa ruins it
Living under an HOA is the worst.
Worse than being homeless?
Depends. I have heard nightmare stories about HOAs.
I have lived in an HOA community for years, and it's good. Keeps our community clean, safe & quiet, and the fee is reasonable.
The key is not to have overbearing or power crazy HOA officers. Our rules are common sense and not unreasonable. The rules in our community were established to help us maintain clean, attractive common areas for all to enjoy. Our property values stay high because homes are maintained, grass is cut, no broken down cars in the streets or driveways, etc.
My community's HOA is not ridiculously restrictive. It does not tell us what type flowers to plant in our yards, or demand that we plant trees- or cut them down, etc.
We have groups of neighbors who plan socials like BBQ get-togethers and ice cream parties. Our swim & tennis area is kept clean & functional with fees. The swim/tennis is optional.
HOAs don't have to be a bad intity. It's the people involved in the HOAs who make them a positive or negative force.
I'd love to live in a place like that!
