Frequently Asked Questions About Tiny Homes in Massachusetts

What is a tiny house on wheels and how is that different from a park-model tiny house?

Within the tiny house living world, there are two main categories of tiny homes. Both categories of small houses include features like small spaces with limited square footage, creative storage solutions, and unique living areas like fold-down decks or sleeping lofts. The main difference between the two sets of tiny house plans is their foundation type. 

Tiny houses on wheels are often RVIA-certified models that are built on a trailer chassis and can be towed from location to location. In most cases, however, homes still require access to utility connections, a flat pad to be placed on, and heavy-duty towing capabilities.

Park model tiny homes, on the other hand, are designed to be placed on a more permanent foundation, much like houses in a trailer park. That is not to say that they can’t be moved, but they require more work to relocate than a standard tiny house.





How much does a tiny house for sale in Massachusetts cost?

Depending on your chosen company and model, a tiny home for sale in Massachusetts can range anywhere from $155 - $685 per square foot. It is worth noting that this may be higher than some kit homes on a cost per square feet basis but there is often less site-work involved in getting your home to be live-in ready.





What affordable housing alternatives exist to tiny homes and the tiny house movement?

If you are looking for an alternative to tiny houses for sale in Massachusetts luckily, there are a few different options. If you are attracted to the tiny house movement for unique living spaces at an affordable price, you might want to consider kit homes. There are several unique options like Avrame, which sells a frame house kits that can be DIY assembled, and Boxabl which is a new company that offers an unfoldable affordable home.

If you want a tiny house to combat the high cost of housing in Massachusetts, you might be interested in a manufactured home. While they are slightly different than traditional homes and modular/kit homes - they often don’t qualify for the same types of financing and their value does not appreciate the same over time, they still are an affordable alternative to Massachusetts tiny homes. In Massachusetts, companies like Champion Homes, Clayton Homes, and US Modulars are options you may want to consider.
