Why are people buying tiny or mini homes?
Easy maintenance, convenient living with a flexible lifestyle. Less home, more freedom.
Many Tiny Home Villages function as RV Parks like Tiny Estates just outside of Elizabethtown. Community amenities and the flexibility of an RV rented space vs a land lease may be attractive for temporary stays. However, in an RV park you are not legally protected as a land lease tenant and there is no legal process for eviction. It’s at the discretion of the park manager.
Tiny homes on wheels are often used as a strategic way to avoid the zoning requirements, restrictions and approvals the permanent placement of a manufactured home requires. In an RV park, the tiny home on wheels can be moved within the community, but requires professional towing to relocate the home which can take time and be quite expensive.
RV park community amenities like laundry and space to entertain sound good – until they aren’t. What happens if there’s a conflict between residents? There are no legal protections like you have as a home owner in a land lease community.
Parking a tiny home in an RV park or on a family or friend’s lot may avoid zoning issues as a short-time solution. Eventually, tiny homes situated on private lots, whether agriculturally or residentially zoned, will likely come to the attention of local zoning authorities. Density is a key issue as it impacts parking, utilities and other local municipal services.
Outdoor space key to minimalist living
Making outdoor space an integrated part of your living area has been a key element in the tiny home movement. Tiny home communities often incorporate custom designed shared common outdoor spaces for residents to use. In a land lease community, you have the privacy of your private lot with options to add decks, patios, fire pits and sheds.
Love to travel?
Many younger buyers are opting to downsize their lifestyle to support financial flexibility with a goal of more travel, less home. Whether it’s RV road trips or international travel, Cedar Manor land lease community is a great home base. Nearby you’ll find RV and boat storage, Harrisburg International Airport, regional Amtrak stations and main highway corridors for travel throughout Pennsylvania or cross-country roadtrips.
Enjoy the benefits of home ownership
The Cottages at Cedar Manor offer more than twice the living space of a mobile tiny home, stackable washer/dryer, abundant kitchen storage, two-car paved off street parking and space to entertain at home on your large private lot bordering farm land. Share the joy of a BBQ, fire pit and patio in the privacy of your own yard with friends and family.
Enjoy the flexibility of less home and more living, with the benefits of home ownership. Manufactured housing is no longer considered a depreciating asset. Maufactured home values have risen faster than site built homes since 2012. However, a tiny home on wheels is likely to follow the valuation path of a vehicle vs home – deprecating rapidly.
