The tiny house movement is popular and gaining interest among those who want the simplicity and flexibility that they offer. Tiny homes are generally considered to be between 80 and 500 square feet, though some are larger. Mostly, they are mobile, able to be hauled from one location to another, initially or thereafter. You may want to stay in a tiny house because you are thinking of having one of your own. Or you might want to enjoy the novelty of having everything at your fingertips in a small, well-designed space. Either way, there are more options out there than you might suppose. Here are a few.
