Tiny Home Lots In Demand...

Tiny home lots in demand, from the Arizona Republic, reports that as land cost continue to rise and new homes get more expensive, a new type of urban housing that is more common in California and the East Coast is starting to appear in Chandler and Ahwatukee. The product is a normal sized home on a small lot with virtually no yard and narrow side yards. One example is the two-story, closely spaced homes at Woodside Homes' new Tapestry at Club West development near Liberty and 17th Ave. in Ahwatukee. These new homes on small lots cost less than competing homes on larger lots, and are attractive to people with no children who want less maintenance. In Chandler, the product is being built at Randall Martin Home's Portello at Dobson Crossing, on Queen Creek Road between Arizona Ave. and Alma School Road. "There definitely is a demand for this," said Dennis Herring, vice president of sales and marketing for Randall Martin. "If there wasn't we wouldn't build it. It lets the builder provide a finished home at a lower overall cost." Some of the lots are 32 feet wide by 100 feet deep, and allow for eight to nine homes per-acre.
