Tiny Home Community Movement

[Account Closed]

Hey all. 

I'm curious if anyone has any insight into the tiny home community movement in Austin?

Relationships with developers, etc.?

We have a property in Leander, Tx that I've always wanted to see turned into something more than just a SFR.

I have the vision, but need a developer to bring it to fruition.

I've done some minimal research on a few communities in Austin and most of them appear to just be getting their feet under them. I was curious to see if anyone has any connections to any of them and if so, how they seem to be being received by the community? Are people buying the tiny homes before they can be built or are people hesitant about this movement?

Leander has already created a zoning ordinance for tiny homes and is on the cusp of really starting to see commercial growth. The lot and home sizes in the TOD (Transit Oriented District) are becoming smaller and smaller to realize the vision that the city has for that area. The time may be now and it may be in 5-10 years from now, but I'd like to start getting a feel on the market to see if it's something that is even feasible.

Thanks for any input in advance.
