The craze of tiny homes is sweeping the nation, so make sure you get in on the action too. These are houses that are typically less than 400 square feet all in, but still offer a fully-functional living space.
Most tiny homes are built on wheels or foundations on empty lots – they were originally conceptualized as stop-gaps for homeless people while they transitioned into a full property.
There are many reasons why people are turning to tiny homes to solve their housing situation. They are cheaper to buy and run than a regular house, and they represent a return to simple living, encouraging owners to reconsider their priorities in life.
It is eco-friendly to live in a tiny home, not least because significantly less energy is needed to maintain a habitable temperature.
While tiny homes are hard to come by in Nevada currently, there is a growing community in certain areas. Your best bets are pockets of Las Vegas, such as downtown and the Arts District, and Henderson.
In Nevada, there are certain requirements you have to meet if you want to build your own tiny home.
You can get a building permit for any structures that have at least 200 square feet in useful living space, or save yourself the trouble by buying a tiny home on wheels that is exempt from zoning regulations. Check out these tiny homes that are available now!
