Best Tiny Homes For Sale in Minnesota
While we have yet to review a Minnesota-based tiny home builder, that does not mean that there is poor access to tiny homes for sale in Minnesota. Given the Land of 10,000 Lakes’ proximity to tiny home builders in the Central U.S, residents have access to some of the top tiny home builders in the U.S. And because many of these companies specialize in fully-mobile tiny homes on wheels, you can buy a tiny home on wheels from an out of state company and easily ship it to most locations in Minnesota. That includes cities like Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and Rochester.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tiny Homes in Minnesota
How much does a tiny house for sale in Minnesota cost?
When buying a tiny house in Minnesota, buyers can expect prices that range from $206 to $447 per square foot. This is based on the cost of the tiny home model plus light site work (clearing an area, preparing a flat gravel pad, and preparing utility connections).
What affordable housing options exist in Minnesota aside from joining the tiny house movement?
In addition to tiny homes for sale in Minnesota, you might also want to consider kit homes. Kit houses, like those sold by Gastineau Log Homes, give buyers the opportunity to save on costs, especially if they assemble the home themselves.
If you want a tiny house to combat Minnesota's high housing costs, a manufactured home might be another option worth considering. Despite the fact that they do not always qualify for the same types of financing as modular or kit homes, manufactured homes still offer an opportunity for affordable, quality housing. In Minnesota, buyers might want to consider Skyline Homes, Champion Home Builders, and Clayton Homes.
