Packed together like sardines on flat land surrounded by a massive river.....yeah...no. Not to mention up to 1000 a month, NOT including utilities! For a tiny (no pun intended) spot of land! Hate to be so blunt but living in such close proximity to others (especially musicians)....it cannot be good. Add to that....I wonder what the flood insurance is like there. This sounds more like a massive nightmare, then a tiny dream.
Totally agree ! Not for me, but to each, his own.
I saw a video on one in Florida that was right maybe a couple of feet from a lake and I remember thinking yeah that's gorgeous until the flood waters rise in your home is washed away. But this one definitely is beautiful with all those trees I haven't seen any other Villages that have trees
The lot rent is really expensive! It doesn't include utlilties. That's crazy.
The rent seems quite expensive considering that it doesn't include utilities. Tiny houses aren't so cheap to build nowadays. You build them to reduce your cost of living and have a chance to own your own home, but if you don't own property or have someone who will let you live on theirs, you are still at the mercy of a landlord who can keep increasing the cost of the rental space. Plus how many years does a tiny house last that isn't on a foundation? Do they go up in value if you want to sell it?
That did seem pretty high since it excludes utilities. Otherwise, if it's including them and based on size, it would make sense.
Amen. It's challenging to find Tiny House communities that are reasonable. More co-ops are needed. There is one Park Model co-op community in Show Low, AZ that charges $105/month and includes water, sewer, trash. There are 2 other communities where you buy the lot and the PM and they only charge $150 to $210/month, which includes W/S/T. Otherwise, I've looked elsewhere in AZ and other states to no avail. Most all charge $450 to $1025/mo lot rent. How are you saving money paying that much?
The prices are crazy. I wouldn't pay that much just to have a place to park my house.
@@roserocks1979 Yeah, it's the same price as renting an apartment here in most Canadian cities (not huge cities like MTL/Toronto tho). At this point, might as well buy some remote land somewhere, cuz in two years, you'd waste as much money as to buy an empty lot. I'm pretty sure these guys still have municipal taxes to pay on top of the plot renting fees...
This tiny village is actually the anti-thesis of what tiny houses stand for as far as communities go, we build tiny houses to avoid the burden of hyper-capitalism, foreign residential actors, to live a more balanced and free/independent capitalism.
It’s pretty on point for this area. I live 30 minutes away from this and the millionaires moved it and forced the majority of the locals out due to increasing rent prices. It’s turned into an absolute tourist town and a lot of people who work there can’t actually afford to live there. They end up living in Aztec, NM or Farmington, NM. I definitely wouldn’t pay that much for a tiny lot. It was more than my mortgage on an acre of land 30 minutes away
I'm from Durango. Born and raised, 5th generation. My son's are 6th and my granddaughters are 7th. So we've been here for a wee bit of time. So I'd like to give some insight, if I may, and maybe answer some of the comments.
YES! Rent is very expensive here. Its ludacris. Trust me we agree! We are a tourist town ( River rafting, hiking, mountain biking, camping, the train, and a ski resort. Just to name a few.) and a college town.
I happen to work for the train for several years. So I would like to correct her when she said that the train passed by three times a day... Not entirely true. At peak season there are four trains that go up to Silverton and they return later making a total round trip at 9 hours. I'm no mathematician but I believe that's eight times that it passes by through the summer. Mind you, these are all old steam engine trains and run on a narrow gauge track. These engines are BIG, and the whistle is extremely loud. You'll hear it loud and clear because the conductor blows it probably 500 ft from where that property starts because he's crossing over a road. I'll put it this way, I grew up 12 miles out of town and on a good day you can hear that whistle blow at my house. So you can imagine what it sounds like in town. But I will say the train is very cool to see. The trip up to Silverton and back is gorgeous. Absolutely worth doing if you ever visit.
I would like to also give further insight on the river. I found it amusing that she did not explain the name of it, The Animas River, which means the River of Lost Souls. There have been many fatalities on this river. Its not common to have it majorly flood but it does happen. And when we have spring runoff, that bitch rages! Its scary. If we've had a big snow year I will say not much of that little Island is above water during runoff season. Just sayin'...
As for wildlife she forgot to mention several common ones. Raccoons and skunks, which love the water. Elk, and moose that are easily twice the size of deer and don't "prance". They are massive animals. And how could she forget the coyotes, bear and mountain lions... I believe those require no explanation.
With that being said, I live in one of the most beautifully breathtaking and mind blowing places in the world. But beauty comes at a price. It comes down to what you're willing to spend to have good mental health and well-being? Not only for you but you're family and your children.
If you've made it this far, thanks for hanging in there. I know this was a long comment. But hopefully worth a read. 😔😂
Wow! Affordable? Just what I expected of Colorado. It's a money hole.
695 to 975 PLUS utilities to be packed in like sardines is outrageous!
Plus it's next to a river... FLASH FLOOD WERNING!!!
I was going to say the same thing, I want a tiny home for affordability but with paying over a grand a month I can pay rent somewhere. I want my own tiny home on wheels so I can go somewhere to stay or take it around. I get the community spent though, some people want a community but just to live tiny and cost isn’t an issue for them.
That's a lot of $ for lot rent. I'm glad I have my own property that I have a park model on. Taxes under $700 a year. My own utilities on 5 acres.
Do you mind sharing where? I'm looking into buying land to put in a small cabin

Nice place, too expensive on the lot rent. Amazing how you can go to Tennessee, Incredible Tiny Homes and have a lot rent for either $200 a month or a mountain lot for $300 a month.
I love ITH and have featured them several times, but the location is vastly different.
That price in TN want stay affordable for long.
Sounds nice and a good location. The train three times a day might be annoying. But those lot rentals doesn't make it affordable and will probably encourage other villages to raise their prices. Even tiny living will not be affordable.
Beautiful location but yikes! Those lot prices are as much as a mortgage in some cases. With interest rates still skyrocketing this doesn’t jive well with homeowners trying to live more affordably.
Guess trailer park doesn’t have the same ring to it!
I love that this village is open to different tiny home options. As she said, there are many ways to live tiny. Many villages are so restrictive. Thanks for this wonderful tour!
Yes that's something unique about it for sure
Hi Suzanne I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this compliment. If you don’t mind can we be friends? 🌺Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹
Yikes! Seems a bit expensive when you factor in all the costs. Plus way too crowded! No thanks.
I live in Durango, and have visited Island Cove many times. It's a wonderful community!
The village Lot rent is way too high, ITH is $200-$300 very affordable which makes sense
ITH is much less expensive, but they don’t offer the same amenities and the location is vastly different. Newport, TN versus Durango, CO. Expect a higher cost of living (in general) for more desirable locations with proximity to grocery stores, restaurants, job opportunities, outdoor recreation, etc.
With all the blue state invaders, ITH want stay affordable for long
Looks like a great little place.. Flooding worries/insurance rates?
Great except rent too high
I've always been a fan of tiny home, not for myself, but this just seems like the evolution of the trailer park.
I don't see the point. A tiny home village looks like an expensive trailer park to me. Throw in the added storage lockers and you have to ask why is this different than a house ? To me the embodiment of a tiny home is in an urban environment and its done to scale down your footprint and de-clutter. I lived in a 250 sq foot apartment for a couple years and it was great.
@@wadeeb That's what it is, a more expensive trailer park. Trailer parks don't get a bad name because they are small structures close together. Its because of the types of people who typically live in them and how poorly they are constructed/maintained.
Expensive lot rent plus utilities
Beautiful community with beautiful people and homes. But one has to ask.....when will lot fees come down to Earth!? One of the main reasons people are going tiny is for cost of living. $675-975 for a lot!?!? AND NO UTILITIES!?!? There's no way, in any city, province or state, that the landowners' costs require them to charge $975/month. There needs to be a better, more cost effective model. I want my mortgage payment to be less than that. People need to band together to split the cost of land, and pay their share, depending on the lot sizes.
You see on their faces that they have a healthy and happy community. 😉❤
Mobile home park
I ❤ how they embrace variety and have events. Seems like a fun, albeit a tad too expensive, place to live.
Mobile home park. Lot rent is high!
Nice but a little pricey per month. 🇨🇦
Tiny house & space rent is Big 😢
Looks beautiful and I'm probably jaded b/c where I live, but 1k plus utilities, and oh by the way a massive train rolls by 3 times EVERY day... kinda tough sell. Third rent and no train and I'm there forever.
Nice location and amenities, but crazy lot rentals. For $1000/month, I'd rather buy land.
$1000 rent for a tiny lot?
Does the river flood???
What a great place! It's nice that someone is open minded enough to do something like this.
I would like a large community building for gatherings indoors and a large kitchen to cater for those gatherings. It's nice there but that river could flood.
Lots to think about when locating yourself. At least most of the houses are transportable so they can get out of trouble.
@@frankuvlkan Do a lot of women respond to your spam? What's your con?
Really cool but I bet you need flood insurance there
It’s a beautiful community. I love how the artist painted that storage container.
Greetings, Jan! Look at this new pickup artist ^; he's got a pretty flowery line compared the the others we've seen.
OMG what a great video! As a resident of Colorado it was nice to see that Durango is great spot for tiny house living. Road trip to visit real soon!
Not really
If that river/stream swells…adios!
That place has lots of nice amenities
Be very careful of any community owned by a corporation. They get really greedy.
Hi Josie I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this compliment. If you don’t mind can we be friends? 🌺Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹
Maybe they improved it. I went to check it out a few years ago and it looked like a dump with the houses on top of each other.
Any fears or concerns of flooding from the river?
No way would I live there next to the river and train track! It's beautiful though. Expensive lot rental!
Great community. Most lots seem to be too tiny, and monthly cost seem to be really high…but maybe that is relative to the area.
Got to visit Durango last year and is definitely my favorite place!
you and everyone else 😢
Love this channel pls keep it coming x
Very coll Tiny home + mobile home and apartment community 😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow.....This is beautiful! I really love this idea. There are a lot of ideas that can be gleaned from this.
That's so spectacular. Thank you for sharing 🙏

Undecided about the rents and the other homes are close. Close to the river…the train……..But everyone is different. We have trailer parks around here and they are on top of one an other too. It is cheaper than regular rents, the scenery is pretty, the walking trail, the clean appearance and the friendly gatherings are a plus. Oh and of course the roads are plowed. Nice video thanks for the information of the different places to live in a tiny home. Love it.
This seems like a beautiful nice and peaceful place to live.
It is a gorgeous community 😍
Wow so awesome so cool thanks for sharing!!✌️🇺🇲
This is so cool thank you from Scotland
That area looks so cute!
This is just the cutest tiny home village ever!! I knew about it it’s existence by never imagined this type of community! Count me in! ❤
So cool!! love it .
What an amazing place ❤
What an awesome place to live in
Really interesting place. It sounds like an idyllic place to live.
I like tje idea of tue Water 🐦.
Thanks Jenna 😊!
JO JO IN VT 💞
❤ This community is lovely.
Two much money, And bet you get flooded
Love it! I'm living in Denver, CO but I'd love this community near the Ocean.
Love that village!
Hi Lisa how are you doing, it’s nice coming across your amazing profile and fabulous smile, can we be friends? God bless you 🌺
Mobile home park
wonderful how beautiful
This is such a cool place.
To buy an existing RV park in a town is a few million dollars. It’s a huge investment. Even a rural RV park in the middle of nowhere is over a million.
Jenna, your hair looks great!!
This is my dream. What a beautiful location. The management seems fun and really seems to care about people's ideas instead of making people fit in a mold.
Looks nice.
Love this community ❤
I loved the video
I was looking at tiny homes. Then I bought a home that needed a lot of work as it was 100+ years old. Now I've reclaimed instead of built more. Isn't it better; no matter the size?
really nice!
I was in Durango in June and took the train by this community. I wish now I had visited. The rent seems high, but when in Rome. Good luck finding affordable housing in Durango nowadays. This might be the option that costs the least. Durango is beautiful with a vibrant downtown surrounded by awesome scenery.
I would love a community like this. Excellent
I love it!! what is your year round weather like?
We've toured this facility, and have homes/homeowners placed there.. It's a beautiful place to live tiny! #tinyhouseexperts ❤❤
Way cool 🎉
Those tiny homes are really crammed together. My idea of a tiny house is that you buy or lease a regular portion of land and then have less house but more garden.
Muy lindo 😊
NICE
It's good to be a SardinO
I hope more of these kind of tiny home communities begin!
I would love to live there. Such a beautiful area too. I wonder if we could get something similar going in the UK?
I so so so so so so so want to live there. I hate living in Australia sometimes. USA has so much more tiny house communities.
Did the prices go up?
Is that 6-900 a month or???
yes
Hi Jenna, I’ve been told of a house, called the cheese wedge. It looks like a pie shaped house in Seattle proper. It’s historic because the couple split the lot, in which, their original home was after a divorce. So a tiny home was built on end of their corner lot. Do you think it’s possible to do a video on those homes? I love your videos. The tree houses and odd/unique homes are a favorite ❤️
Kirsten Dirksen just featured that one last week! I have it cued up to watch.
Beware of that pickup artist ^. For some reason there a number of them who address women with pretty photos. This one has a fancier line than most, but note that he has also pasted the same comment to several others. I suspect there's a con or scam involved somewhere. Take care!
nice idea but lot rent is too pricey for me. Check out other areas.. alot less. Tennessee, 200 to 300 a month.
Tell me do most people stay in there tiny home or do they decide it not for them ?
I always think rivers rise and change so not sure I want to be literally on the river? it may be a non negotiable? what are your thoughts?
Just like a mobile home park but the houses are small. Huge rent, and then charges for extra storage. Homes too close together. Not for me. I would get a piece of land and put a tiny home on it, and have no rent.
Amen
Is there a village near McDonough Ga
I’m shocked, it’s not another ugly homeDepot like parking lot! It has trees n bushes and grass! 😮. Nicest one I’ve seen yet.🍻
They are so close together. No thank you
Totally agree! Wayyyy too close. To me,just an advert for tinyhouses.
it's just Coloradans are... they are very: me, too
Less close than living in an apartment.
$695, and I thought my lot rent was high ($410)! Nice park.
I like the idea but would only do something like this if it was affordable. Never owned a home but at a minimum I would be looking for a long term lease of the land and a very clear understanding of the fees for water, sewage and other. The only people that would do this would be looking to stay within budget and sacrifice by reducing their footprint on the planet. Real Estate generally isn't about being a good humanitarian. Its mostly about making big money. Big money gets more big money. How does this really help us?
I’m not trying to be disrespectful, but how do these communities differ from trailer parks, other than they are a variety of different homes?
They don't
Nice but im wanting live in a tiny home to save money. Island cove low cost of 700 dollar lot rent and pay own utilities.... No way can a person live comfortable with that cost. Could rent a full size home in Ohio for that.
I like the idea for a vacation for several months but do agree himes are too close together.
Why are there no permanent foundation Tiny home communities where you own the land? It would be a hit
WHERE CAN I RENT. I LOVE IT.
WOW, ❤❤💛💛💙💙❤❤💛💛💙💙❤❤💛💛💙💙👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
