In today's paper is an ad for The Simple Life Homes being built on 466 just west of 301. The home models have 8 floor plans from 399-1000 square feet. You may add a loft. Check them out at simple-life.com. Of course they advertise that they are 1 mile from The Villages.

Those are Tiny Homes, they've been all over HGTV for a couple of years with various shows. Such as Tiny House Hunters, Tiny House Big Living, Tiny House Builders and others. The price of new homes has taken away the American Dream for many young people, Tiny Homes are an alternative.

As a measure of value 800 sq ft is 161k and you don't own the land.

The drive ways have grass in the center. Some might consider that quaint I just see a builder that was so cheap he didn't spend the 50.00 for the extra concrete.

Buying home on land you do not own does not seem like such a great idea, not to mention how small they are

The 900 Sq. Ft. villas with carports in Chitty Chatty would be a better deal assuming you want to live in a 55 and over community. There seems to be an awful lot of building just outside TV, single family as well as condo's and apartments. Good for business bad for crowds.

A house over 500 square feet of living space doesn't really qualify for the designation of "tiny house." Tiny houses are usually 500sf or less. Anything bigger would be just a small custom-built or pre-fab trailer home.

I think after a while, living in one of those tiny houses would drive me nuts.

These tiny houses are to attract workers to staff all the villages stores and restaurants. They have to live somewhere people.

Buy a nice used rv trailer. $10,000 . at least then you can move .

I saw a couple of models. They are pretty inside but very small.

[Tdsch5012@yahoo.com]

Know where I can get one of those nice RV’s for $10,000 ?

[024engine]

That is true. One mile from villages. Tiny homes. You rent the property, but own the house. Not a good deal. Have to make appointment to see them.

Water Oak home on land you don't own

[Travel41]

I moved from a large home with a pool in Harbor Hills to a brand new home in Water Oak. I love being close to everything. Don’t own property, but with new tax laws why do I want to have write offs like real estate taxes. I do the standard return which is a good write off for a widow. Also, good for my kids to sell or rent when I die. Perfect for me.5
