Tiny-home communities and village-style living. Each card shows the community's stage and what you can do now, with the date its availability was last checked.
Every published community is listed. A check older than 30 days is marked “recheck needed”. A full community stays listed, because an owner may resell or an expansion may open.

A five-thousand-square-foot common house holds the kitchen, dining room, exercise room and two guest rooms, and the land carries a community garden, individual garden plots, an orchard and a stretch of native prairie.
