Compact Living: 10 Tiny Dwellings | Cross River Real Estate

-
The downsizing craze has spread to real estate, creating huge interest in petite homes all across the country.
This week’s episode of “Portlandia” lampoons the fad. The “Microhouse” clip features Kangablue, one of the units in a tiny-homes hotel called Caravan. (Owners Deb Delman and Kol Peterson live in a 690-square-foot home next door that’s “teeny but not tiny,” Delman says.)
If the show’s parody doesn’t put you off small living altogether, here are homes to feed the frenzy. They measure 500 square feet or smaller, from old-fashioned cabins with beautiful natural surroundings to a pint-sized 2-bedroom, single-family home in New York City.
