Small Houses for Singles #2

Complete tiny house right out of the box for less!
See, reserve yours.

Finding a small house suitable for a single person is difficult. Finding a new small house and master planned community specifically designed for singles does not yet exist. In my own “small” way, I am working on it though. 🙂

There are many advantages to owning a small house over a large one. If it’s designed for singles, the benefits are even greater because its size would likely be even smaller and its features more desirable. Here are some of the advantages of a small house compared to a large one.

  • Lower cost to buy or build.
  • Lower taxes.
  • Lower utility (electric, water, etc.) costs.
  • Lower maintenance (upkeep) costs.
  • Less paint, accessories, and furniture needed to decorate.
  • Less time to clean.
  • More money and time to do other things you enjoy.

The greatest abundance of small houses that I’ve found were built before the 1950’s. You can still find them, but unless they have been completely updated, I do not see them as a smart buy. I’d rather design one myself, which I’ve done, or find a newer one that closely matches my vision. Having the newest technology in today’s world is crucial.

There is one population segment where smallish homes are prevalent and that is 55+ housing developments and communities. But again, while they are somewhat small, they are not designed for singles and bigger than what’s needed. If they were smaller and more efficient they could be more affordable.

Perhaps subdivisions within a master planned community for singles could be designed around a theme that would attract different age groups and personality types.

Compromising by buying a typical “family” style house in a “family” orientated master planned community doesn’t make sense. I started my singles club in such a community. I was amazed by the suspicion of and opposition to my club by a “few” members of the community civic organization. I did overcome those issues, but the “family” orientation always dominated every aspect of the community.

The following images of small houses may give you some ideas on what you might like for yourself. I’m always on the lookout for innovative small and tiny house designs. These images may spark your interest in small houses for singles.

Included are older small houses, classic small houses, modern small houses, and house-like structures (e.g. pool and guesthouses) that could serve as a small house. Their size and design is the focus of this collection. The ones toward the end are the most ideal to me. Enjoy the tour. 🙂
