Tiny Homes have been all the rage for a while across the country. There are entire HGTV shows dedicated to them. They can be mobile on trailers, or permanent on a foundation. These tiny homes can be in a back-yard as an office, home gym, or mother-in-law suite. They are incredibly versatile and inexpensive to make and maintain.
There are endless variety of designs for tiny homes. Modern architecture is very common, with some even being built out of old shipping containers. Homes built in back-yards tend to mirror the main house. Many are made out of recycled materials or completely built by the owners.
Tiny homes have loads of great features packed inside and seem more like boats or recreational vehicles than a traditional home. Clever panels conceal storage, steps are condensed to look like ladders, rooms multi-task to make the most out of each space.
Keyo Park West is a new tiny home community coming to the Charlotte area by developer Kelvin Young. Young was appalled at the lack of affordable housing in Charlotte and wanted to be part of the solution. His plan calls for 56 tiny homes starting at $89,995. This price includes the lot and a one-bedroom, one-bathroom 493 square foot home.
Homes in Keyo Park West will all have top of the line appliances, modern light switches, and Italian bathroom tiles. The feel they are going for is luxury boutique hotel.
The homes will be customized to meet the needs of each buyer. The developer is committed to building 2 homes for homeless families for every 25 homes sold. This follows a trend that is seen in Austin, TX where there is an entire community of tiny homes to house the chronic homeless population.
These homes are located in North West Charlotte near Freedom Drive and I-485. They are right across the way from Paw Creek Elementary School. This makes for an easy Uptown commute.
