Anchored Tiny Homes Community in Jacksonville.
According to research, 73% of Americans would consider living in a tiny home. However, the number of tiny home communities available does not match the interest. Anchored Tiny Homes is working on that with 28 locations nationally—Jacksonville, FL coming May 2024!
The mission of Anchored Tiny Homes is “to create innovative living spaces that blend quality, functionality and style seamlessly.”
Versatility
Tiny homes can serve many purposes. For some, tiny homes are a primary living space. For others, a tiny home on their property can serve as an in-law suite or rental studio. Tiny homes are also very popular among vacation rentals on sites such as Airbnb.
There are legal restrictions on tiny homes, also known as Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU). Jacksonville Business Journal reports that ADUs are legal in most parts of the city. However, that’s not the case for those of us in the Jacksonville Beaches area, Baldwin or in communities with prohibitions by the homeowners’ associations.
Affordability
Minimalism as well as affordability are highly desirable qualities of tiny homes. As such, organizations such as HabiJax have already been capitalizing on the affordability benefits for years. A 5.7-acre tiny home development on the Westside of Jacksonville was launched by HabiJax in 2020. The 50 tiny homes within the development mostly measure less than 500 square feet.
Interest by State
Among the top 15 states with the most interest in tiny homes, Florida didn’t rank. Despite this, we’re glad that Anchored Tiny Homes is taking a chance on Jacksonville with this clever and resourceful project. It will be their third Florida city, after St.Pete/Clearwater and Orlando, so we trust they’ve made a wise bet.
