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.)
