Have you been thinking of living tiny in Apache Junction? If you need tiny home tips or are just considering the options, we’re here to help. Here’s what to look for when going small.
Manufactured Homes
A manufactured home is classified as a factory-built home built after 1976 to HUD Code standards. If you’ve been considering going small, first take a look at manufactured home communities in the area. They offer a bit more square footage and the cost is still relatively low, so you can downsize without having to compromise on storage and kitchen size. It’s a great option if you’re considering tiny living for the financial benefits.
RV Living
Another great way to live on less is to purchase an RV. This gives you a little more flexibility to park where you want and all the appliances and furniture come included. There are plenty of RV communities where you can find like-minded people who are living a similar lifestyle as well. They tend to have great built in storage, multi-purpose furniture pieces, and some come with a washer/dryer combo.
Tiny Homes
A tiny home is a loose phrase that references a small house. While the idea of a tiny home sounds cute, they can be expensive to purchase and finding financing can be difficult (unless you plan to build it yourself). You also have to find somewhere to put your tiny home. It’s important to note that the resale value of a tiny home is not great. According to Ramsey Solutions, the average resale value of a tiny home is about 50k while the cost to build can be upward of 150k.
Park Models
If you like the idea of a small home but are looking for a more economically wise option, take a closer look at park models in Apache Junction. Park models are pre-built homes located in RV or manufactured home communities that are turn-key. They’re already parked and they hold their value compared to a “tiny home.” Why? Because park models are situated in a park that supports a community, and there are onsite amenities that increase the value of the home. It’s sort of the best of both worlds. With a park model, you can live small, live close to like-minded people, and have communal conveniences at hand.
