I’d just add that tall trees will give folks a huge headache eventually. There’s no room to get any equipment in there in case they need to be trimmed or topped out and they’ll block roof top solar electric or water heaters. Nothings impossible just cost more to take care of it. I’d go with fruit trees that don’t get taller than the houses.
@@BrianS2464 I understand what you're saying, but honestly for me the trees make the property. Where I live (FL) the owners of the community property keep cutting down all the trees - big live oaks that are at least a century old. This has displaced vermin into our houses, killed us with hot summer sun, spiked our electric bills (a/c) dramatically, and has allowed big storms to cause more intense damage (live oaks don't fall down easily/break winds). All sorts of other fiascos that we are directly financially responsible for (which we must handle ourselves). What was once a shady, breezy, cute little community now resembles a parking lot full of peeling paint. The trees were removed for the exact reasons you listed. Quality of life has suffered overall, while the owners (whom I now refer to as slum lords) have switched over their expenses, to our expenses. While raising our "maintenance fees" (rent) by over 23% over the last three years. Honestly, I would rather have the trees and the additional cost.
Honestly, I loved the meandering positioning of the houses. As the presenter took us through the property, I got the sense of going back into a safe little alcove. It felt deeper than it actually was, more secluded. Which is ironic because I hate navigating meandering streets by car. Also I loved that each house had a defined, not-container-like shape that really bothers me with other tiny houses. They looked like little *homes*. Just enough. Which is all I ever really want. XD
What I like best is the freedom of design, you're not limited to a 8' wide tiny house on wheels / bus. Way more freedom in design if you can add a couple feet here and there to fit your lifestyle into the space, while still living simply in a tiny/small home. What I don't like is that most ways to legally live tiny you're either far from the city, work, family & friends, or paying rent (HOA for this place) so it takes away the dream of owning your own place and takes away of benefit of it being cheaper.
The home designs is so cute and inviting. And I love the location. I personally would need my own yard and space to be further away from people and let my dogs run. One of the reasons I like tiny homes is being able to escape the suburban feeling of houses right on top of each other and HOA's, so for me, it wouldn't be a good fit. I'd rather have a little more separation and a communal area that people maintain together, either through allocation of duties or pooling funds just to have lawn maintenance. I think some gardening and stuff can be a positive aspect of living in tiny homes and paring down/getting closer to nature and like minded people
@@michelgouverneur885 I agree but not at $200,000. I like the concept, but there needs to be a way to make it truly affordable. I hope to do this for me, my kids and grandkids and maybe 1-2 affordable rental homes (not AirBnB) to supplement my income.

Just starting the video. Read your comment paused. I just can't wait to hear the cost. You got my attention. I'm sure I'll be shaking my head in disgust
Developers should consider building small communities around particular needs. For example, one for serious gardeners, another for people who want everything to be organic not chemical, and especially one far from the others for people who want to avoid wireless and cordless frequencies.
I agree, its cute but the homes are a little too close for me. If my neighbors are having a good night I don't want to hear it. I would like to have a garden as well. Maybe just four or five houses instead of eight.
One thing many people get wrong about a project like this is this is living small but it isn't living cheap! I was in a related industry for many years and we had people on a regular basis looking at tiny homes because they assumed they would be cheap to buy as compared to a larger home. They are less expensive because of the lower sq. footage but they ain't cheap. These are primarily for people who choose to live in a smaller space and not for the people that have to because they can't afford a larger home. I do not know about this project but in most cases the sq. footage cost in a tiny home vs a let's say normal house is quite a bit higher. I love the concept here but I just want those looking to understand what is involved. I would bet these homes are zoned for at max 2 people and most have an HOA fee on top of the payment for the house itself. That all means you can in many cases rent a larger apartment for less money.
They sold starting at $200,000 so you are definitely correct. Most of the people who live here could probably afford a regular size home if they wanted to.
There must be a lot of people who only need one bedroom. It's good that people are thinking about building smaller homes. Plus the little neighborhood looks like it's designed to be social and friendly. That's important.
Yes, it seems like all of the tiny home communities I've watched videos on believe in putting as many per acre as possible. I'd love to see one where each home has a lot more land around it. Building a community in a forested area would be ideal.
@@Pebblebrook Yes, but you can have a community without building the homes on top of each other. I know my neighbors even though it is a quarter mile walk or more. And a community probably wouldn't want to be that far apart. But enough room for a good-sized garden would be nice.
This place is better than nothing, but the yard size and privacy needs to be improved. Many tiny-housers also want to grow their own food and many have dogs or cats that would benefit from a fenced-in yard. Most of these tiny house communities have horrible landscaping, too...too much concrete and bare dirt.
Great idea for seniors. You get to be around folks of all ages, plus you aren’t in those attached things they’re building where there’s no privacy. The HOA maintains the place so it’s a win-win!
I was hoping to get a tour around the pocjet neighbourhood to see some of the other houses front and back. That is what this video description sounds like.
That's problematic he does not own all that and he can't just go in the houses when they do not have permission to do so. There is such a thing as privacy.
I love the concept of these tiny homes my only issue would be that I need a little bit more space from my neighbors. they're too close together, there's no privacy.
I see what you're saying, but the funny thing is I've seen full sized and larger homes in Atlanta this close together. I never understood why they build so close!
Living in ATL I love that this is here. Great concept and the home size is absolutely perfect. Would prefer a little larger lot size for a better sense of privacy and my own garden etc. Though beautiful homes do they have to be a cookie cutter same after same after same. I would be so depressed to look out my window just to se my beautiful home repeated over and over. If this isn’t an opportunity to customize and instill individuality their never will be. I do love the concept and love the fact that it has broke into the uptight Atlanta lifestyle.
They may be "cookie cutter" but they at least have different colors to give them some individuality. I imagine that for this proof of concept pocket neighborhood, it was more practical to go with 1 floorplan (minus the first one in the video). He didn't explain whey there was a single (even smaller) home that was different than the rest.
Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.

Bridget Mary Turow, a licensed fiduciary whom has made me over 5 figures in profit in less than seven months, handles my investments. I could leave you a lead if you need help.
I really like the community. I would prefer a built in shelf on either side of the bed. I always have to have a glass of water. These are a few feet closer than I would want. Sometimes the over 55 age can be hard of hearing and that can make it pretty noisy for someone who can hear. I would prefer them to be offset, so you didn't have someone directly across from you. I would also prefer a screened-in porch especially in the south. I live in West Virginia and have one and love it. If you could project the porch a little so that a cross breeze could go through would be nice but I realize it is very humid there. I think these homes would be great for a senior community, as well as for singles. Since I know how noisy it can be by the fire pit, I would move it to the opposite end. 😁 But it depends on your community and if they are quiet at night for those that are not night owls like myself. Or quiet in the morning for those that are not morning people. I might also put in a golf cart path depending on if an activity building was going to be built later on.❤️
*In the America I was born,* comfy homes with big yards, all surrounded by big and beautiful trees, which provided intimacy *were a must.* . Oh, and I am not 89yo. *I was born in 1984.* Don’t get me wrong, loved your home and the village… but being so close of neighbors who may not be dream people could sound like a nightmare. Plus, space to put more stuff, because we always need to.
Adorable. I love the "pocket neighborhood" concept. I like how it looks like a little village, with plants and walkways and lighting. Most places tend to do the standard old RV park with rows of RVs, but now with Tiny Homes/cottages. YOU made this look like a real community. I'm wondering where the post office is, barber shop, and sheriff's office. I just couldn't live in the South again. Although, Georgia is often an exception.
1.5 Bathroom would make it perfect for me. That Half Bathroom is a MUST. Also, a walk-in closet would have been super. Love the concept and the sense of community. I am an Artist so community means everything.
I absolutely love this type of community …. I’ve been interested I Tiny Homes for a while now ….. Since I retired …. I am presently living in Cali , Colombia 🇨🇴 but visit back home in Pennsylvania …. A few months out of the year where my mother lives …. Definitely a nice place you have there … perhaps one day I will look into moving into your tiny house community …. Thanks for the video and have Subscribed to your channel .
Incredible that you can put so much on such a small piece of land. I wish you every success. We have 8 acres here in New England and are not allowed even to let our son place his small trailer here for longer than 6 months. Housing is so incredibly hard to come by for seniors and with 8 acres of woods I'd love to be able to do even a little to help others have an affordable living space. Another friend has plenty of space in a nearby town and not allowed to put any kind of 2nd dwelling on it to help family.
@@Sarahdrybones no it isn’t. It keeps people safe. Northeast is no joke for weather. It also keep the riff raff from ruining land. And keeps out the drug dealers and crime. Don’t worry, some sob story on sec 8 will eventually be let into this community and ruin it too
Necessity is the mother of invention. We should allow businesses like these tiny house villages to flourish in all the major cities. This would give Apartments competition . I am sooo tired of hearing the landlord say , "sorry about the yearly raise in rent. , It's what the market will allow." I would gladly consider purchasing.
Overall is not great. Thinking I'd rather own my home outright and not be bothered every month by HOA fees. The common area looks like an afterthought. I'd rather have a little more personal garden space. Looks like you couldn't get away from your neighbors anywhere. Inside is too small and I wouldn't want guests walking into my bedroom to go to the bathroom. Houses are cute on the outside though.
love the concept of such an intimate community . the center of this little gathering spot is missing a big covered spot for food functions. [ pergola ] . potlucks under the pounding sun is not fun, but bringing each household under one roof for whatever is possible. in an individuals home it is impossible. we used to do progressive dinners that were so much fun. another thing is a communal garden for the homeowners. not in the center of the gathering space - just somewhere in the community .
Living in tight neighborhoods like this do lack a certain amount of privacy, but usually people who live in these types of communities realize this and are accordingly respectful of their neighbors. That being said, I've lived in big cities, party towns, the boondocks, you name it - and the community I live in now is definitely the LOUDEST place I've ever lived in. Just give top priority to insulation. My house is poorly insulated with windows everywhere. So yeah, watch your window placement too. However I never feel exposed, just annoyed.
Agreed. It takes away from the allure of tiny houses. My whole purpose of wanting a tiny house is so that I can afford to live in nature independently, away from suburban neighborhoods where people are right on top of each other. So this defeats the purpose haha
@@BrianS2464 Different villages for different types. Peace lovers & poo stirrers should live in different zones, teehee. We are all unique for special reasons. Human creative Spirit can be fostered for success when typology of sociological groups is used to spread Love Energy vs War & Profits Energy.
While I admire your dream, actual shelter deprivation is only a small part of the homeless issue. There's a great deal of mental illness, disabilities, etc that plague the homeless. If we concentrate on treatment the rest can follow - horse before cart. But if we don't address the mental/emotional instability of sufferers then giving them a house only "fixes" things for a few months at most, before it falls apart again. This is because we're only beginning to understand the reality behind our less-fortunate population. We prescribe a band-aid where surgery is needed. The reality is sure, they need a boost and a safe home - but they also need a support system like all the rest of us. Something homeless people rarely have. Unfortunately almost everyone trying to help stops at shelter because in reality, the necessary solutions are overwhelming. I hope you're braver/more determined than most and if you are, you've got my vote. :-)
@@cleoharper1842 Agreed. I am homeless (renting room in son's home, atm) USAVet Religious Affairs Specialist & Ex 33yr Psych Nurse Whisteblower. The homeless & Vets plight is part of my life experience & where my heart lies. I have no resources & am isolated with my family appearing targeted, so nothing is happening right now. I would love to be part of a voluntary community to support each other some day as possibilities open up. Thx for your support.
@@why55555 Yes, I've been close to homeless myself and completely estranged from my family. The only thing that saved me was I finally found my mother again (who is also estranged from the family) and now, as she is a senior, we manage to take care of each other. I have mental issues and when you're out there, completely alone and with everyone judging you, every little thing can seem like a pointless, impossible task. The goals at the end of such tasks seem meant for other people who are more deserving, but not for you. It's really an existence worse than death sometimes. I'm sorry to hear you're currently having troubles. The only good thing my grandmother ever taught me was, This Too Shall Pass. Nothing can last forever, not even hell. What do you mean by targeted? If you ever find that community by all means, let me know.
Its really just an apartment building spread out. Which is better imo. If you got a few friends together it could be cool to all live together. There's a reason villages have been designed like this for thousands of years.
Love the pocket neighborhood, small homes. I need a fenced yard for dogs and we want to do our own landscaping both vegetables and flowers and gardening. Won't live in a place with HOA.
I said the same thing and when my neighbor painted her house pink to support a friend that had breast cancer, I was so grateful for the HOA. It didn't stay pink long. HOA's aren't always bad but I understand and respect those who don't want them. Even if there's no HOA, there needs to be Covenants to protect the peoples interest.
That fire pit that close to so many houses makes me a little nervous. I'd like to see this done with more modest houses. It's good for what it is, better than covering open land with a slew of Macmansions.
Tiny houses aren't as affordable as they use to be. And now that they're becoming more popular (out of desperation) the prices are getting higher.Add on an HOA fee that's probably not cheap either. Really truly affordable housing for many is a crisis. When does the greed stop.
I do like it but you really better hope you get along with all of your neighbors cuz that could be awkward. Also it would depend on the cost of the house and the HOA fee's, otherwise you're just living tiny not cheap which isn't that the main reason people are down sizing.
Will, I don't know if you will see this but that was among the best small/tiny house tours I have ever been on. Great videography. Nice design. I like the idea of Tiny house ownership, cooperative or even condo association ownership. Mine was designed as a 230 sq ft. zero energy ready "finished" dwelling. I designed constructed the built in trundle bed/office/library/practice space, japanese soaking tub and mist shower. I also increased the passive thermal storage decreasing my total energy consumption so my last bill (including to charge a cheap used 100% i-MiEV electric car) amounted to $19.00 for the month during our Midwest drought/heat wave. (the utility service fees added an additional $30.00 which is an encouragement for me to save for an off grid system.) With a tiny space centered on efficiency and comfort this space exceeds 90% of all places I've leased or lived. Your home is as smart and accessible design as any I've seen. I hope more people have a chance to see what you have accomplished and consider you a successful source of knowledge. Thanks for trailblazing.
This is fine for someone with mobility issues (paved sidewalks), but I prefer a more densely landscaped, lower density housing, like Incredible Tiny Homes has in their Forest and Mountain communities, where I'd have more privacy, and more of my own outdoor space to landscape as I wish. The ITH tiny homes go from 8'x16' up to 10'x40', and also offer a 12'x20'.
It's funny you would say that, when I mention I wanted to build a 500 square foot house, I get negative responses (I laugh) because so many people live in 500 square foot apartments. I guess it's okay as long as you're paying someone else's mortgage. Society has been brainwashed into thinking things are normal when they actually are not.
“Enough is as good as a feast”, is an aphorism we in the USA haven’t figured out. The until now. And in fact, in this case, better. Too fat, too much stuff, and far too often, more space used too provide storage for too much stuff. I like the fact that Permaculture Design has been utilized by the HOA, and essentially this is a small village.
The indoor living space is nice, but the lack of personal gardening space is a negative. I’d rather have row houses with personal backyards that could be used for household gardening, pets, barbecues, etc. with a communal front yard or courtyard (depending on the layout). As it is, the houses in the community aren’t much better than living in an apartment. I’d love to have a non-city alternative. - perhaps a mini-village surrounded by farm land or a wildlife-protected area.
It looks nice. I hope Clarkston grew to become a better place to live because when I lived there, I was surrounded by idiots and bigots. 1 year was enough for me. I wish you could've shown us the backyard. How much are the HOA fees?
This is so cool! All I have is me, myself and I! I wished the closet was open! I love and need a lot of closet space! Does it come in 2 bedroom! I would use the loft for an office. I love that it’s a cute pocket community.
Those tall skinny trees are going to do some real damage in a wind storm. Typical mistake made by developers. Trees are not equipped to be stripped of their close neighbors and still survive strong winds.
What aspect do you like most about this village? What (constructively) might you add or change?
I’d just add that tall trees will give folks a huge headache eventually. There’s no room to get any equipment in there in case they need to be trimmed or topped out and they’ll block roof top solar electric or water heaters. Nothings impossible just cost more to take care of it. I’d go with fruit trees that don’t get taller than the houses.

They need to make them more affordable and less craftsmanship for those communities. That would cut costs

Since I know how noisy it can be by the fire pit, I would move it to the opposite end. 😁
But it depends on your community and if they are quiet at night for those that are not night owls like myself. Or quiet in the morning for those that are not morning people.
I might also put in a golf cart path depending on if an activity building was going to be built later on.❤️
These are nice! Better than many tiny homes I've seen! 👍👍
I think this is a great concept!! People looking for affordable housing a place of their own. It’s ALL about Community.
You make living in this beautiful space so exciting. Would love to spend time on this lovely spot.
*In the America I was born,* comfy homes with big yards, all surrounded by big and beautiful trees, which provided intimacy *were a must.* . Oh, and I am not 89yo. *I was born in 1984.*
Don’t get me wrong, loved your home and the village… but being so close of neighbors who may not be dream people could sound like a nightmare. Plus, space to put more stuff, because we always need to.
Adorable. I love the "pocket neighborhood" concept. I like how it looks like a little village, with plants and walkways and lighting. Most places tend to do the standard old RV park with rows of RVs, but now with Tiny Homes/cottages. YOU made this look like a real community. I'm wondering where the post office is, barber shop, and sheriff's office. I just couldn't live in the South again. Although, Georgia is often an exception.
I love those homes and very beautiful!
Very Nice!! It sure looks like a Fun place to live to me!! Your puppy is Adorable ♥️& hey the pantry will get there!✌️
My concern about this place is having bad neighbors. It looks so nice and idyllic of everyone gets along.
Cute! But I don't like living close to people!
The kitchen had me shook, in a very good way!
I like the Nissan leaf in the parking lot. That's very encouraging.
I absolutely love it! But how do you sell these homes? Are they like condo's? Who owns the lot they are on? Is it similar to a TIC?
This little community in the steiny houses are adorable
HOA, immediate sad face. Never had a good long-term experience with a HOA
And zero private space too. Even worse.
1.5 Bathroom would make it perfect for me. That Half Bathroom is a MUST. Also, a walk-in closet would have been super. Love the concept and the sense of community. I am an Artist so community means everything.
Lovely place. The porch is heavenly
$400 sq ft? Pretty expensive!
Looks amazing! Great job you guys. :D Definitely want to see more projects like this one.
Cute video too. ^_^
I absolutely love this type of community …. I’ve been interested I Tiny Homes for a while now ….. Since I retired …. I am presently living in Cali , Colombia 🇨🇴 but visit back home in Pennsylvania …. A few months out of the year where my mother lives ….
Definitely a nice place you have there … perhaps one day I will look into moving into your tiny house community …. Thanks for the video and have Subscribed to your channel .
Beautiful and so awesome!
Incredible that you can put so much on such a small piece of land. I wish you every success. We have 8 acres here in New England and are not allowed even to let our son place his small trailer here for longer than 6 months. Housing is so incredibly hard to come by for seniors and with 8 acres of woods I'd love to be able to do even a little to help others have an affordable living space. Another friend has plenty of space in a nearby town and not allowed to put any kind of 2nd dwelling on it to help family.
That's horrible
The powers that be do that purposefully. America is not the land of the free.
@@Sarahdrybones no it isn’t. It keeps people safe. Northeast is no joke for weather. It also keep the riff raff from ruining land. And keeps out the drug dealers and crime. Don’t worry, some sob story on sec 8 will eventually be let into this community and ruin it too
Necessity is the mother of invention. We should allow businesses like these tiny house villages to flourish in all the major cities. This would give Apartments competition . I am sooo tired of hearing the landlord say , "sorry about the yearly raise in rent. , It's what the market will allow." I would gladly consider purchasing.
They have to find a way to bring down the cost. At $200,000 this isn't helping too many people.
Cute house, great idea of pocket neighborhood... Love the dog!!! Sadie stole the show!!!
If you check this pricing is happening across the country not just Atlanta. Saw a tiny home on Seattle for $262,000 with only 400 square feet.
Anything priced @ $25,000 & up ain't a "tiny house 🏠".
Overall is not great.
Thinking I'd rather own my home outright and not be bothered every month by HOA fees. The common area looks like an afterthought. I'd rather have a little more personal garden space. Looks like you couldn't get away from your neighbors anywhere.
Inside is too small and I wouldn't want guests walking into my bedroom to go to the bathroom.
Houses are cute on the outside though.
More space between houses.
love the concept of such an intimate community . the center of this little gathering spot is missing a big covered spot for food functions. [ pergola ] . potlucks under the pounding sun is not fun, but bringing each household under one roof for whatever is possible. in an individuals home it is impossible. we used to do progressive dinners that were so much fun. another thing is a communal garden for the homeowners. not in the center of the gathering space - just somewhere in the community .
This is a very nice layout!
OMG! Is there anything you don't do? I love the channel!!!
Lovely small houses. But it is too close to the neighbor for my liking. No privacy.
It could be challenging
I agree not that close together esp if the neighbor goes dementia it could be challenging.
Living in tight neighborhoods like this do lack a certain amount of privacy, but usually people who live in these types of communities realize this and are accordingly respectful of their neighbors. That being said, I've lived in big cities, party towns, the boondocks, you name it - and the community I live in now is definitely the LOUDEST place I've ever lived in. Just give top priority to insulation. My house is poorly insulated with windows everywhere. So yeah, watch your window placement too. However I never feel exposed, just annoyed.
Agreed. It takes away from the allure of tiny houses. My whole purpose of wanting a tiny house is so that I can afford to live in nature independently, away from suburban neighborhoods where people are right on top of each other. So this defeats the purpose haha
@@IamCree you don’t want much do you? Beggars can’t be choosers. You’re never happy even when someone tries. You must be a taker, getting handouts
Cool. I dream of finding real humans who will build tiny home villages for the homeless with me. These are very beautiful. Thx for sharing!
Me too. Loved the idea for a long time but it takes a certain kinda homeless person.
@@BrianS2464 Different villages for different types. Peace lovers & poo stirrers should live in different zones, teehee. We are all unique for special reasons. Human creative Spirit can be fostered for success when typology of sociological groups is used to spread Love Energy vs War & Profits Energy.
While I admire your dream, actual shelter deprivation is only a small part of the homeless issue. There's a great deal of mental illness, disabilities, etc that plague the homeless. If we concentrate on treatment the rest can follow - horse before cart. But if we don't address the mental/emotional instability of sufferers then giving them a house only "fixes" things for a few months at most, before it falls apart again. This is because we're only beginning to understand the reality behind our less-fortunate population. We prescribe a band-aid where surgery is needed. The reality is sure, they need a boost and a safe home - but they also need a support system like all the rest of us. Something homeless people rarely have. Unfortunately almost everyone trying to help stops at shelter because in reality, the necessary solutions are overwhelming. I hope you're braver/more determined than most and if you are, you've got my vote. :-)
@@cleoharper1842 Agreed. I am homeless (renting room in son's home, atm) USAVet Religious Affairs Specialist & Ex 33yr Psych Nurse Whisteblower. The homeless & Vets plight is part of my life experience & where my heart lies. I have no resources & am isolated with my family appearing targeted, so nothing is happening right now. I would love to be part of a voluntary community to support each other some day as possibilities open up. Thx for your support.
@@why55555 Yes, I've been close to homeless myself and completely estranged from my family. The only thing that saved me was I finally found my mother again (who is also estranged from the family) and now, as she is a senior, we manage to take care of each other. I have mental issues and when you're out there, completely alone and with everyone judging you, every little thing can seem like a pointless, impossible task. The goals at the end of such tasks seem meant for other people who are more deserving, but not for you. It's really an existence worse than death sometimes. I'm sorry to hear you're currently having troubles. The only good thing my grandmother ever taught me was, This Too Shall Pass. Nothing can last forever, not even hell. What do you mean by targeted? If you ever find that community by all means, let me know.
Awesome! I love the neighborhood
Beautiful 😍
Absolutely lovely! Conservative living at its best! I would love to live in a environment like this, with cool people!
I love the layout but I'd love to see the loft too. Maybe you could show us that later on when you've installed the stairs or ladder.
Its really just an apartment building spread out. Which is better imo. If you got a few friends together it could be cool to all live together. There's a reason villages have been designed like this for thousands of years.
Will! Congrats!
This is a great alternative and affordable way of life! Where did you get the gate on your porch? I love it!!!
Beautiful
Love it what’s the price range on these?
$200,000 and up. Check out their website
So cool. Nice.
Love the pocket neighborhood, small homes. I need a fenced yard for dogs and we want to do our own landscaping both vegetables and flowers and gardening. Won't live in a place with HOA.
Exactly what I'd like.
I said the same thing and when my neighbor painted her house pink to support a friend that had breast cancer, I was so grateful for the HOA. It didn't stay pink long. HOA's aren't always bad but I understand and respect those who don't want them. Even if there's no HOA, there needs to be Covenants to protect the peoples interest.
Need more of these everywhere common Sends, There is nothing for the retiree with no pension or retirement living on social security
Guess they should’ve planned better
That fire pit that close to so many houses makes me a little nervous. I'd like to see this done with more modest houses. It's good for what it is, better than covering open land with a slew of Macmansions.
As long as people realize that it's not intended for bonfires they should be okay.
I love this ! Can I have the builders information? And how much was this model? Thank you for sharing !
Need more space outside,not enough land. Too close to each other
Well if you look at old bungalow courts the houses could be close or more spread out from its neighbor depending on the size of the lot or acreage.
Will you ever build properties without HOA, POA, POAA, and DOE?
Tiny houses aren't as affordable as they use to be. And now that they're becoming more popular (out of desperation) the prices are getting higher.Add on an HOA fee that's probably not cheap either. Really truly affordable housing for many is a crisis. When does the greed stop.
It’s not greed. It’s a business like any other. You aren’t owed cheap housing.
Love the purple
what could go wrong with living on top of each other.
I would not like to live so close to my neighbours, but it is way better than living in an apartment. For sure.
Will you do a sequel once the pantry is done? Pleeeze? I am pantry DISorganized and need some imspo.
Curious what the range of prices are for these homes as well as the monthly HOA fees.
They sold starting at $200,000. Which, in my opinion is CRAZY!
Do you have a video showing the loft space? Are the houses built on foundations? Do any have a basement? Who’s the builder?
Keep up the good work guys. Maybe other cities will follow suit. There is a housing crisis across the entire country. Thank you.
I do like it but you really better hope you get along with all of your neighbors cuz that could be awkward. Also it would depend on the cost of the house and the HOA fee's, otherwise you're just living tiny not cheap which isn't that the main reason people are down sizing.
I don't want to live that close to my neighbors, but apparently there are people who want to live on top of each other.
I like the idea of tiny house village. Was wondering if maybe some house could be taller so they would not take up land space?
I wish there was a community like this in LA or the pnw
Will, I don't know if you will see this but that was among the best small/tiny house tours I have ever been on. Great videography. Nice design.
I like the idea of Tiny house ownership, cooperative or even condo association ownership.
Mine was designed as a 230 sq ft. zero energy ready "finished" dwelling. I designed constructed the built in trundle bed/office/library/practice space, japanese soaking tub and mist shower. I also increased the passive thermal storage decreasing my total energy consumption so my last bill (including to charge a cheap used 100% i-MiEV electric car) amounted to $19.00 for the month during our Midwest drought/heat wave. (the utility service fees added an additional $30.00 which is an encouragement for me to save for an off grid system.) With a tiny space centered on efficiency and comfort this space exceeds 90% of all places I've leased or lived. Your home is as smart and accessible design as any I've seen. I hope more people have a chance to see what you have accomplished and consider you a successful source of knowledge. Thanks for trailblazing.
This is fine for someone with mobility issues (paved sidewalks), but I prefer a more densely landscaped, lower density housing, like Incredible Tiny Homes has in their Forest and Mountain communities, where I'd have more privacy, and more of my own outdoor space to landscape as I wish. The ITH tiny homes go from 8'x16' up to 10'x40', and also offer a 12'x20'.
Beautiful But how much are the small houses,and the financial costs of the hoa fees
I'd totally live there.
These are really big in comparison to most tiny homes I have seen. These are basically the size of a regular apartment.
It's funny you would say that, when I mention I wanted to build a 500 square foot house, I get negative responses (I laugh) because so many people live in 500 square foot apartments. I guess it's okay as long as you're paying someone else's mortgage. Society has been brainwashed into thinking things are normal when they actually are not.
How much are the cabins and HOA fees
Almost 6 acres but all the houses are combined within one acre give or take
Defeats purpose of tiny home living and comfort of privacy
6 acres? He said .57 acres... as in just over half an acre.
@@WanderingAroundAZ haha missed that 😅
Love tiny homes but definitely need more outside space
“Enough is as good as a feast”, is an aphorism we in the USA haven’t figured out. The until now. And in fact, in this case, better. Too fat, too much stuff, and far too often, more space used too provide storage for too much stuff.
I like the fact that Permaculture Design has been utilized by the HOA, and essentially this is a small village.
So, what is the cost to build? How do you obtain these house plans?
Where is the hot water tank stored?
I'm definitely wanting a tiny house.
How hard was it to get city or the county to allow a rezone for this dense neighborhood?
The indoor living space is nice, but the lack of personal gardening space is a negative. I’d rather have row houses with personal backyards that could be used for household gardening, pets, barbecues, etc. with a communal front yard or courtyard (depending on the layout). As it is, the houses in the community aren’t much better than living in an apartment.
I’d love to have a non-city alternative. - perhaps a mini-village surrounded by farm land or a wildlife-protected area.
It looks nice. I hope Clarkston grew to become a better place to live because when I lived there, I was surrounded by idiots and bigots. 1 year was enough for me.
I wish you could've shown us the backyard. How much are the HOA fees?
This is so cool! All I have is me, myself and I! I wished the closet was open! I love and need a lot of closet space! Does it come in 2 bedroom! I would use the loft for an office. I love that it’s a cute pocket community.
So many resources used! Why not apartment/condo buildings?
$119k-$208k for this!!! Not every pocket friendly. IMHO
Those tall skinny trees are going to do some real damage in a wind storm. Typical mistake made by developers. Trees are not equipped to be stripped of their close neighbors and still survive strong winds.
