I’d just add that tall trees will give folks a huge headache eventually. There’s no room to get any equipment in there in case they need to be trimmed or topped out and they’ll block roof top solar electric or water heaters. Nothings impossible just cost more to take care of it. I’d go with fruit trees that don’t get taller than the houses.
@@BrianS2464 I understand what you're saying, but honestly for me the trees make the property. Where I live (FL) the owners of the community property keep cutting down all the trees - big live oaks that are at least a century old. This has displaced vermin into our houses, killed us with hot summer sun, spiked our electric bills (a/c) dramatically, and has allowed big storms to cause more intense damage (live oaks don't fall down easily/break winds). All sorts of other fiascos that we are directly financially responsible for (which we must handle ourselves). What was once a shady, breezy, cute little community now resembles a parking lot full of peeling paint. The trees were removed for the exact reasons you listed. Quality of life has suffered overall, while the owners (whom I now refer to as slum lords) have switched over their expenses, to our expenses. While raising our "maintenance fees" (rent) by over 23% over the last three years. Honestly, I would rather have the trees and the additional cost.
Honestly, I loved the meandering positioning of the houses. As the presenter took us through the property, I got the sense of going back into a safe little alcove. It felt deeper than it actually was, more secluded. Which is ironic because I hate navigating meandering streets by car. Also I loved that each house had a defined, not-container-like shape that really bothers me with other tiny houses. They looked like little *homes*. Just enough. Which is all I ever really want. XD
What I like best is the freedom of design, you're not limited to a 8' wide tiny house on wheels / bus. Way more freedom in design if you can add a couple feet here and there to fit your lifestyle into the space, while still living simply in a tiny/small home. What I don't like is that most ways to legally live tiny you're either far from the city, work, family & friends, or paying rent (HOA for this place) so it takes away the dream of owning your own place and takes away of benefit of it being cheaper.
The home designs is so cute and inviting. And I love the location. I personally would need my own yard and space to be further away from people and let my dogs run. One of the reasons I like tiny homes is being able to escape the suburban feeling of houses right on top of each other and HOA's, so for me, it wouldn't be a good fit. I'd rather have a little more separation and a communal area that people maintain together, either through allocation of duties or pooling funds just to have lawn maintenance. I think some gardening and stuff can be a positive aspect of living in tiny homes and paring down/getting closer to nature and like minded people

Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.

Just starting the video. Read your comment paused. I just can't wait to hear the cost. You got my attention. I'm sure I'll be shaking my head in disgust
@@michelgouverneur885 I agree but not at $200,000. I like the concept, but there needs to be a way to make it truly affordable. I hope to do this for me, my kids and grandkids and maybe 1-2 affordable rental homes (not AirBnB) to supplement my income.
Those tall skinny trees are going to do some real damage in a wind storm. Typical mistake made by developers. Trees are not equipped to be stripped of their close neighbors and still survive strong winds.
Its really just an apartment building spread out. Which is better imo. If you got a few friends together it could be cool to all live together. There's a reason villages have been designed like this for thousands of years.
Tiny houses aren't as affordable as they use to be. And now that they're becoming more popular (out of desperation) the prices are getting higher.Add on an HOA fee that's probably not cheap either. Really truly affordable housing for many is a crisis. When does the greed stop.
Overall is not great. Thinking I'd rather own my home outright and not be bothered every month by HOA fees. The common area looks like an afterthought. I'd rather have a little more personal garden space. Looks like you couldn't get away from your neighbors anywhere. Inside is too small and I wouldn't want guests walking into my bedroom to go to the bathroom. Houses are cute on the outside though.
I lived in Burlington for two+ years. It's really a great little town, very It's-A-Wonderful-Life. Safe, walkable, beautiful summers/autumns/early half of winters. Mom asked me how I liked living there. I told her: On a good day, it's like living in a snow globe. One a bad day, it's like living in a snow globe. It snowed from October to May, both winters. It was all snow-mixed mud from March to nearly June. People too seemed cold at first but I was coming from the overly-friendly south, and also I learned that they're just cautious with outsiders. Not judgmental or anything - just legitimately cautious. But once you're in, you're in for life. Good people. But they need to learn how to cook. XD
The indoor living space is nice, but the lack of personal gardening space is a negative. I’d rather have row houses with personal backyards that could be used for household gardening, pets, barbecues, etc. with a communal front yard or courtyard (depending on the layout). As it is, the houses in the community aren’t much better than living in an apartment. I’d love to have a non-city alternative. - perhaps a mini-village surrounded by farm land or a wildlife-protected area.
As soon as you mentioned HOA you lost any & all interest without mentioning the details of the HOA. Nobody wants a Karen using the HOA as a tool to nit pik but that is exactly why nobody likes an HOA. ALSO, you didn’t mention price, you didn’t mention if the HOA takes on water, sewer, garbage because some do, some don’t. All I saw was a bunch of pretty little houses around a bbq pit & no explanation about how you managed to get the county or city to approve permits to build your community, because most American local government do not plan for& do not permit for affordable housing. Oh, they say they do, but they don’t. There is a lot of discrimination because “affordable” means they collect less tax. It attracts the poor, poverty, higher crime, drug use… all the stereotypes are all the reasons why communities do not plan nor accept affordable housing. The sad part about this is, by not planning for all citizens they force poor into homelessness & that forces them to succumb to crime for survival, drugs in order to cope & be accepted in their new community of homelessness. If you want to find the cause of homelessness, look in the mirror.
@@KC-ed1dj thats affordable for anyone to buy & turn into a rental where then it becomes a money maker and unaffordable for the rental. Again a wicked cycle which does nothing to lower rent unless you over-build supply. Because when you build affordable housing there are more people with $100k cash then there are those who will be approved through the timely process of a home loan. In Seattle, where a old 2-bedroom home goes for a million, you cant buy it without a cash offer.
What do you mean all? When you try to include the people you are talking about, they ruin everything and every neighborhood they end up in. Eventually some sob story on sec8 will get into one these and ruin it too. Why would anyone who has worked their whole lives for the property they own let the people you describe in their house? I wouldn’t. Owners don’t accept sec8 because of the terrible track record over and over. It’s not a stereotype and btw, ask yourself why there is a stereotype. Could it be because it’s true? Stop blaming hard working people for not putting up with their behavior. They live off our tax dollars and appreciate nothing. NIMBY!
One thing many people get wrong about a project like this is this is living small but it isn't living cheap! I was in a related industry for many years and we had people on a regular basis looking at tiny homes because they assumed they would be cheap to buy as compared to a larger home. They are less expensive because of the lower sq. footage but they ain't cheap. These are primarily for people who choose to live in a smaller space and not for the people that have to because they can't afford a larger home. I do not know about this project but in most cases the sq. footage cost in a tiny home vs a let's say normal house is quite a bit higher. I love the concept here but I just want those looking to understand what is involved. I would bet these homes are zoned for at max 2 people and most have an HOA fee on top of the payment for the house itself. That all means you can in many cases rent a larger apartment for less money.
They sold starting at $200,000 so you are definitely correct. Most of the people who live here could probably afford a regular size home if they wanted to.
Incredible that you can put so much on such a small piece of land. I wish you every success. We have 8 acres here in New England and are not allowed even to let our son place his small trailer here for longer than 6 months. Housing is so incredibly hard to come by for seniors and with 8 acres of woods I'd love to be able to do even a little to help others have an affordable living space. Another friend has plenty of space in a nearby town and not allowed to put any kind of 2nd dwelling on it to help family.
@@Sarahdrybones no it isn’t. It keeps people safe. Northeast is no joke for weather. It also keep the riff raff from ruining land. And keeps out the drug dealers and crime. Don’t worry, some sob story on sec 8 will eventually be let into this community and ruin it too
Living in tight neighborhoods like this do lack a certain amount of privacy, but usually people who live in these types of communities realize this and are accordingly respectful of their neighbors. That being said, I've lived in big cities, party towns, the boondocks, you name it - and the community I live in now is definitely the LOUDEST place I've ever lived in. Just give top priority to insulation. My house is poorly insulated with windows everywhere. So yeah, watch your window placement too. However I never feel exposed, just annoyed.
Agreed. It takes away from the allure of tiny houses. My whole purpose of wanting a tiny house is so that I can afford to live in nature independently, away from suburban neighborhoods where people are right on top of each other. So this defeats the purpose haha
*In the America I was born,* comfy homes with big yards, all surrounded by big and beautiful trees, which provided intimacy *were a must.* . Oh, and I am not 89yo. *I was born in 1984.* Don’t get me wrong, loved your home and the village… but being so close of neighbors who may not be dream people could sound like a nightmare. Plus, space to put more stuff, because we always need to.
Yes, it seems like all of the tiny home communities I've watched videos on believe in putting as many per acre as possible. I'd love to see one where each home has a lot more land around it. Building a community in a forested area would be ideal.
@@Pebblebrook Yes, but you can have a community without building the homes on top of each other. I know my neighbors even though it is a quarter mile walk or more. And a community probably wouldn't want to be that far apart. But enough room for a good-sized garden would be nice.
This place is better than nothing, but the yard size and privacy needs to be improved. Many tiny-housers also want to grow their own food and many have dogs or cats that would benefit from a fenced-in yard. Most of these tiny house communities have horrible landscaping, too...too much concrete and bare dirt.
Nothing more than corporate greed...normal house about $200sq ft to build...micro homes are almost $400sq ft...8 homes on a 1/2 acre lot... 160,000 dollar house +/- times 8 homes is well over a million bucks...it's not about making better use of land it's about making more money...be real about it...I luv tiny homes probably more than the average person...but at the end of the day it's all about money nothing more nothing less
love the concept of such an intimate community . the center of this little gathering spot is missing a big covered spot for food functions. [ pergola ] . potlucks under the pounding sun is not fun, but bringing each household under one roof for whatever is possible. in an individuals home it is impossible. we used to do progressive dinners that were so much fun. another thing is a communal garden for the homeowners. not in the center of the gathering space - just somewhere in the community .
This is fine for someone with mobility issues (paved sidewalks), but I prefer a more densely landscaped, lower density housing, like Incredible Tiny Homes has in their Forest and Mountain communities, where I'd have more privacy, and more of my own outdoor space to landscape as I wish. The ITH tiny homes go from 8'x16' up to 10'x40', and also offer a 12'x20'.
I love the concept of these tiny homes my only issue would be that I need a little bit more space from my neighbors. they're too close together, there's no privacy.
Adorable. I love the "pocket neighborhood" concept. I like how it looks like a little village, with plants and walkways and lighting. Most places tend to do the standard old RV park with rows of RVs, but now with Tiny Homes/cottages. YOU made this look like a real community. I'm wondering where the post office is, barber shop, and sheriff's office. I just couldn't live in the South again. Although, Georgia is often an exception.
That's not considered a "Tiny House" bc it's over 399 sqft and it's on a non movable position. So any bank will give you a mortgage and its property is taxable unlike a Tiny House 🥺
8 houses with land , guess about 1.52 million total and that also depends on location for 1.52 is boonies , near amenities it would go up Do not like this concept anyway , bunched up too close nothing said about parking and imagine HOA fees For motel set up it’s cool but for living there , nope ,,,,
Developers should consider building small communities around particular needs. For example, one for serious gardeners, another for people who want everything to be organic not chemical, and especially one far from the others for people who want to avoid wireless and cordless frequencies.
I agree, its cute but the homes are a little too close for me. If my neighbors are having a good night I don't want to hear it. I would like to have a garden as well. Maybe just four or five houses instead of eight.
Love the pocket neighborhood, small homes. I need a fenced yard for dogs and we want to do our own landscaping both vegetables and flowers and gardening. Won't live in a place with HOA.
I said the same thing and when my neighbor painted her house pink to support a friend that had breast cancer, I was so grateful for the HOA. It didn't stay pink long. HOA's aren't always bad but I understand and respect those who don't want them. Even if there's no HOA, there needs to be Covenants to protect the peoples interest.
Will, I don't know if you will see this but that was among the best small/tiny house tours I have ever been on. Great videography. Nice design. I like the idea of Tiny house ownership, cooperative or even condo association ownership. Mine was designed as a 230 sq ft. zero energy ready "finished" dwelling. I designed constructed the built in trundle bed/office/library/practice space, japanese soaking tub and mist shower. I also increased the passive thermal storage decreasing my total energy consumption so my last bill (including to charge a cheap used 100% i-MiEV electric car) amounted to $19.00 for the month during our Midwest drought/heat wave. (the utility service fees added an additional $30.00 which is an encouragement for me to save for an off grid system.) With a tiny space centered on efficiency and comfort this space exceeds 90% of all places I've leased or lived. Your home is as smart and accessible design as any I've seen. I hope more people have a chance to see what you have accomplished and consider you a successful source of knowledge. Thanks for trailblazing.
What aspect do you like most about this village? What (constructively) might you add or change?
I’d just add that tall trees will give folks a huge headache eventually. There’s no room to get any equipment in there in case they need to be trimmed or topped out and they’ll block roof top solar electric or water heaters. Nothings impossible just cost more to take care of it. I’d go with fruit trees that don’t get taller than the houses.

Just like other communities. They ones in Texas are 399 square feet for $1750-$2000 just base rent before the fees.
This isn't in Atlanta. It's in Clarkston, which is about 17 miles from Atlanta.
My concern about this place is having bad neighbors. It looks so nice and idyllic of everyone gets along.
what about the cost? is it affordable?
If you check this pricing is happening across the country not just Atlanta. Saw a tiny home on Seattle for $262,000 with only 400 square feet.
Anything priced @ $25,000 & up ain't a "tiny house 🏠".

@@IamCree you don’t want much do you? Beggars can’t be choosers. You’re never happy even when someone tries. You must be a taker, getting handouts
Turn off the background thumping NOISE PULEEZE!
It's nice, but I imagine this becoming an AirBnB pretty quick since these are not inexpensive homes.
Community gardening?
Every tiny home / micro home community has the buildings cloistered so close together. Is that to maximum the profit for the builder / developers.?
Get so tired of people hawking these houses as 'affordable'. 100K is not affordable for most retirees or minimum wage workers
Why are adults working min wage? It’s their own fault they can’t afford it.
You make living in this beautiful space so exciting. Would love to spend time on this lovely spot.
*In the America I was born,* comfy homes with big yards, all surrounded by big and beautiful trees, which provided intimacy *were a must.* . Oh, and I am not 89yo. *I was born in 1984.*
Don’t get me wrong, loved your home and the village… but being so close of neighbors who may not be dream people could sound like a nightmare. Plus, space to put more stuff, because we always need to.
HOA, immediate sad face. Never had a good long-term experience with a HOA
And zero private space too. Even worse.
Need more of these everywhere common Sends, There is nothing for the retiree with no pension or retirement living on social security
Guess they should’ve planned better
Just FYI you need to point the camera lower
LOVE THE VIDEO.... I can't wait until GOD and all the HEAVENS partner me with my team to break ground and get started
Loveit
Will you ever build properties without HOA, POA, POAA, and DOE?
I love the tiny house concept. I don't love living on top of the tiny house next door.
Yes, it seems like all of the tiny home communities I've watched videos on believe in putting as many per acre as possible. I'd love to see one where each home has a lot more land around it. Building a community in a forested area would be ideal.
@@Growmap these homes are to build community, while I get what you mean… I would say don’t move there if it’s not for you.
@@Pebblebrook Yes, but you can have a community without building the homes on top of each other.
I know my neighbors even though it is a quarter mile walk or more. And a community probably wouldn't want to be that far apart.
But enough room for a good-sized garden would be nice.
This place is better than nothing, but the yard size and privacy needs to be improved. Many tiny-housers also want to grow their own food and many have dogs or cats that would benefit from a fenced-in yard.
Most of these tiny house communities have horrible landscaping, too...too much concrete and bare dirt.
Build it on your own 10 acre estste for a guest home .
so in Georgia they built homes dark in color, hold that heat in!
I would not like to live so close to my neighbours, but it is way better than living in an apartment. For sure.
Nothing more than corporate greed...normal house about $200sq ft to build...micro homes are almost $400sq ft...8 homes on a 1/2 acre lot... 160,000 dollar house +/- times 8 homes is well over a million bucks...it's not about making better use of land it's about making more money...be real about it...I luv tiny homes probably more than the average person...but at the end of the day it's all about money nothing more nothing less
Doesn’t matter, the tiny market is STILL unaffordable!!
HOA for what?
NOPE !
Curious what the range of prices are for these homes as well as the monthly HOA fees.
They sold starting at $200,000. Which, in my opinion is CRAZY!
love the concept of such an intimate community . the center of this little gathering spot is missing a big covered spot for food functions. [ pergola ] . potlucks under the pounding sun is not fun, but bringing each household under one roof for whatever is possible. in an individuals home it is impossible. we used to do progressive dinners that were so much fun. another thing is a communal garden for the homeowners. not in the center of the gathering space - just somewhere in the community .
Love this! We need to see these in all 50 states! Great work, Will and Kim, and everyone!!
HOAS. Are Intrusive and small minded.
This is fine for someone with mobility issues (paved sidewalks), but I prefer a more densely landscaped, lower density housing, like Incredible Tiny Homes has in their Forest and Mountain communities, where I'd have more privacy, and more of my own outdoor space to landscape as I wish. The ITH tiny homes go from 8'x16' up to 10'x40', and also offer a 12'x20'.
I love the concept of these tiny homes my only issue would be that I need a little bit more space from my neighbors. they're too close together, there's no privacy.
i agree. if they had small yards with hedges or wooden fences it would be perfect
you dont like smelling your neighbors farts lol
@@DreaInspired The answer is obvious: to maximize profits by cramming as many houses close together as possible.
@@Growmap Or!!! People want to buy large homes but don't want the expense or the upkeep that comes with more property.
The point of this project was to build community life.
The kitchen had me shook, in a very good way!
❤
The greed factor still shows in the tightly compacted placement of the homes...space them out with trees please!
You’re just never happy are you? You’re so entitled you can’t even say something nice about someone actually trying to help people. Go away
Adorable. I love the "pocket neighborhood" concept. I like how it looks like a little village, with plants and walkways and lighting. Most places tend to do the standard old RV park with rows of RVs, but now with Tiny Homes/cottages. YOU made this look like a real community. I'm wondering where the post office is, barber shop, and sheriff's office. I just couldn't live in the South again. Although, Georgia is often an exception.
How do we buy a cottage??
That's not considered a "Tiny House" bc it's over 399 sqft and it's on a non movable position. So any bank will give you a mortgage and its property is taxable unlike a Tiny House 🥺
This is not a tiny home, its just a small home... And the main point of tiny house living is affordability.
How much are they, I live in 941 sq ft home paid $135K 2bdrm 2 bath, 55+ community.
It's really nice but I couldn't live so close to my neighbors.
What was your total cost?
Yes
Land and municipalities and build
Cost effective, profitable
At $400 a square foot including land
$400 a square foot it seems with all in $190,000 a piece. Guesstimate
8 houses with land , guess about 1.52 million total and that also depends on location for 1.52 is boonies , near amenities it would go up
Do not like this concept anyway , bunched up too close nothing said about parking and imagine HOA fees
For motel set up it’s cool but for living there , nope ,,,,
This looks great now the big question how much$$$
Need more of these everywhere. Since so many people need affording. I think this is great for singles, first time homebuyers and seniors.
Developers should consider building small communities around particular needs. For example, one for serious gardeners, another for people who want everything to be organic not chemical, and especially one far from the others for people who want to avoid wireless and cordless frequencies.
They need to make them more affordable and less craftsmanship for those communities. That would cut costs
I agree, its cute but the homes are a little too close for me. If my neighbors are having a good night I don't want to hear it. I would like to have a garden as well. Maybe just four or five houses instead of eight.
Need more there are already expensive housing quarters
Sadie’s not having it.
I would love to live here. What do I have to do to get set up for a home on this property? I am Eddie
Love the pocket neighborhood, small homes. I need a fenced yard for dogs and we want to do our own landscaping both vegetables and flowers and gardening. Won't live in a place with HOA.
Exactly what I'd like.
I said the same thing and when my neighbor painted her house pink to support a friend that had breast cancer, I was so grateful for the HOA. It didn't stay pink long. HOA's aren't always bad but I understand and respect those who don't want them. Even if there's no HOA, there needs to be Covenants to protect the peoples interest.
Will, I don't know if you will see this but that was among the best small/tiny house tours I have ever been on. Great videography. Nice design.
I like the idea of Tiny house ownership, cooperative or even condo association ownership.
Mine was designed as a 230 sq ft. zero energy ready "finished" dwelling. I designed constructed the built in trundle bed/office/library/practice space, japanese soaking tub and mist shower. I also increased the passive thermal storage decreasing my total energy consumption so my last bill (including to charge a cheap used 100% i-MiEV electric car) amounted to $19.00 for the month during our Midwest drought/heat wave. (the utility service fees added an additional $30.00 which is an encouragement for me to save for an off grid system.) With a tiny space centered on efficiency and comfort this space exceeds 90% of all places I've leased or lived. Your home is as smart and accessible design as any I've seen. I hope more people have a chance to see what you have accomplished and consider you a successful source of knowledge. Thanks for trailblazing.
