The Rise of Affordable Tiny Homes: Inside Look and Stories.

A Colorado-based graphic designer, Jen Gressett, paid $175,000 to build her 520-square-foot tiny home on wheels, which includes a soaker tub, quartz countertops, and a massive bed. She pays $725 a month in housing costs, which covers a parking space in someone's backyard, internet, water, and electricity. Gressett maximized storage space by installing pull-out cabinets in the kitchen and adding hidden compartments in the loft stairs. She advises downsizing appliances and buying only what has a designated space in the house. Gressett's tiny home has given her the affordable housing option she needed, plus the luxury she always wanted.
