@Jeff – That’s a good question. I live in Southern California and finding a piece of affordable land near a city is difficult. I’d have to say that looking a little outside the city would be a start, but maybe not 50+ miles away.

I really love these small houses. I think the challenge is finding a suitable location in which to build, preparing the land, etc.

There are so many restrictions everywhere you go. And I don’t think being in the middle of nowhere 50+ miles from anything is a good option either.

Any ideas where are good areas to build these, close to civilization?
I’d love somewhere near Portland, OR.

@Budgeting in the Fun Stuff – I agree, the sleeping lofts really make the homes. The built-in storage and efficiency also makes the homes more livable in such a small space. I love these homes, too!

@Don – I agree, these homes are very affordable. However, the issue on homelessness is a bit more complex. The smallest Tumbleweed home is still about $22,000. Most homeless people are jobless, so it would be difficult to afford even this. They would also need a vehicle to attach their house too! Thanks for stopping by.

These are so cool! Why are people homeless when they can make houses like this?

@The Simple Machine – Thanks for your comment. You’re right, the problem with the stationery homes is finding land! I’m encountering this problem myself. I’ll have to check out your article. Sometimes I think renting my be an okay choice.

This is a pretty cool idea for purchasing housing. But I think they can’t be any more than cottage place. The reason I say that is, if you want to live in a city, you would have to tear down an existing house to put this in place.

I have started to think that renting can actually make you rich vs owning property. You can read about it here.
