Tiny House Community

There is an increasing trend of people discussing and adopting a minimalist lifestyle. This is not a new concept. The Gospel according to John, written around 70AD, tells of a time when the Essenes, a group of religious men, lived in simple caves, following an extremely minimalist lifestyle. The 1962 television series “The Beverly Hillbillies” showed how living in a small home could help individuals reduce expenses and stick to a budget. However, this way of life is about more than just financial wisdom. It is about embracing simplicity and creating mental space. Simplifying our lives can help reduce the stress of modern living.

In the last few decades, the tiny house community has grown massively. People want financial freedom, they want more control over their lives and they want to put themselves first. By letting go of the worries of what they “need” and releasing themselves from the obsession with material things, more and more people are choosing to downsize their lifestyle.

Since 2014 the Tiny House Community has been opening communities all over the US. These are places where people can come and rent tiny houses and build community with others in a similar situation. The districts vary in size. Some are limited to 15 people, whereas some cater to up to 600 people. There are a lot of communities that are private and only accessible if you have paid or become a member of the community.

Why Is the Community Growing?

The central part of the community seems to be about living life to the full. A big part of the appeal of this type of lifestyle is the novelty of it all. It is a new twist on something that has been around for thousands of years. People enjoy the idea of being able to build a community of like-minded people who are all in similar positions.

This lifestyle is often talked about as being sustainable, and it is also often thought of as environmentally friendly. It is easy to see how compact the tiny houses are to see why they are considered eco-friendly. However, there is also a strong sentiment of taking what you use and reusing it. Therefore, tiny houses tend to be made in more sustainable ways such as using reclaimed materials instead of virgin materials.

The community is also considered more affordable, as people live in smaller spaces. This can save on bills, but it also saves on the cost of materials to build the house. There are a lot of people who want to get into this lifestyle but feel that they cannot because of the cost.

What Are The Drawbacks?

There are a few critical drawbacks to the tiny house community that you should consider before making any decisions. One of the big ones is that it can be difficult to find land to put your tiny house on. This is especially true if you want to live in an urban area. In some cases, people have had to move out of their city to find a suitable piece of land.

Another drawback is that you need to be able to build your own tiny house or find someone who can do it for you. This can be a difficult and expensive task, depending on your level of experience and the resources that you have available.

Finally, living in a tiny house can be pretty isolating. If you are used to living in a big house with lots of people around, then moving into a tiny home alone can be quite a big adjustment. It is essential to ensure that you are prepared for this before making the transition.

While there are some drawbacks to the lifestyle, there are also many benefits that make it attractive to many people. If you are considering making the switch, then it is essential to do your research and ensure that you are fully prepared for the change.
