His sweet Tiny Cottage! Low-cost living in 250 Sqft Tiny House

🏡 Meet Rich, a housing advocate living in a cute tiny cottage--a 250 sqft tiny house on a foundation. It's located in The Cottages on Vaughn, a pocket neighborhood in Clarkston, Georgia. He loves simple living and knowing his neighbors. Post-divorce, Rich was looking for a place to live and a new pastime. He ended up volunteering for Tiny House Atlanta. That evolved into the MicroLife Institute, a housing nonprofit that created his cottage community. Rich shares a tour of his tiny home, a glimpse into tiny community life, and his passion for housing advocacy.

This is how I visualise a tiny home community. So many of them are almost barren, with roads and no gardens, trees etc. This is such a gorgeous setting and I am so jealous ❤

What could be more perfect than having a ground floor bedroom, with a walk in closet and attached bathroom.
This guy has got everything a person needs, even a corner office and a good size porch. Perfect.

I think there should be more of these communities built. It's a perfect affordable solution for home ownership. I love the sense of community as well. Hopefully, the days of huge mansions will be a thing of the past.

I wish the powers that be would realize how many people want this. It shouldn't be so difficult to build a community like this anywhere in the US. Enjoy your Tiny, Rich; it's beautiful.

I am 65 and live in a 700sq ft condo. I am thinking of downsizing again if I am in my 70's. I really like your house.

honestly, this type of housing, with small cottages, were all over the country. We absolutely need to stop putting obstacles up to this...especially with our housing crisis ( non home owners driving the market- now that could use more regulation)

A usable front porch is a must. It is, in essence, the main living room. I live on an island in the Mediterranean and life takes place outside here. Most homes are too big. There are areas of my house that I hardly ever go into. For me, that porch is the best thing about this house.😊

I truly respect his minimalism. Great video. I lived in a community like this years ago, it was great for the people with children, we all watched them. Thanks A & C❣

[cmsmith]

Lovely community of tiny homes! Wish there were more of these available!! Let’s get those zoning boards on board with tiny living!!

[cynthiawilliams]

Nice! If only every town in America would build these!

[Windsingerful]

This is the second house you’ve shown in this lovely community… keep ‘em coming! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[jacobbarr]

These are absolutely adorable but having to stop and talk to a neighbor multiple times in a day sounds like a complete nightmare to my introverted yet People Pleasing personality.
However y'all look super happy and that makes me happy.

I love the common garden and its slightly overgrown wildflower look. So natural

[janinafisher]

Another winner, guys! I love these tiny community builds. I hope you can show more of the houses in this community, and more communities like this!

[ListedInTheSouth]

His tiny home seems so much bigger than 250 SqFt. Very charming overall.

[bellaluce]

Thank you for sharing your home, and for your advocacy to make tiny houses legal for more people! ❤

[AmericanPatriot-qh]

What a beautiful area. Residents are friends. Common Garden is such a great thing. It brings people together. Beautiful.

[daniellem]

I'm loving this tiny community. Thanks for sharing another home in this beautiful community!!

[stefanieneubert]

This community is gorgeous-so many other videos I've seen show space gobbled up by big vehicles. Keeping the cars in one area is brilliant, and what harm does a short walk do? Instead of boring and unimaginative landscaping, the pollinator gardens here are lovely. It all fosters community. More of this pls!

[Jana-wzdr]

Love this little development and his teeny tiny house. The community piece is so valuable and sure would be great to get that back in more places.
