7 Adorable Tiny Homes That Prove You Can Live Large With Less

Tiny-home living has transitioned from an architectural novelty to a mainstream lifestyle for more and more folks. And while these ultrapopular, ultralittle abodes can’t cure all societal ills, they are environmentally friendly, relatively low-cost, and the aesthetic antidote to overblown McMansions.

A recent poll conducted by the National Association of Home Builders found that more than half (53%) of adults surveyed said they would consider buying a tiny home measuring less than 600 square feet. The market for these petite abodes is booming, and we see it in our listings. To demonstrate, we’ve pinpointed seven incredible examples of tiny-home living on the market right now.
