‘Tiny homes’: una alternativa real al mercado de la vivienda

Con el aumento de los precios y la creciente dificultad para encontrar inmuebles asequibles, las minicasas se han convertido en una alternativa cada vez más solicitada. No solo surgen como una solución para quienes no pueden acceder al mercado tradicional, sino también para quienes buscan una segunda residencia, un refugio en el campo o incluso una forma de vida más sostenible. Lo que mucha gente desconoce son las ‘tiny homes’, modelos de alto diseño, eficientes y personalizables.

Probably the single biggest surprise came from the Bay Area of California, where San Jose easily leads the way in providing transitional tiny home villages. Ten of the 18 villages in the Bay Area are located there. Well done, San Jose!

The Bay Area leads with the largest total number of transitional tiny homes at 1,199, followed by Portland-Vancouver with 949, Greater Los Angeles with 784 and the Seattle-Tacoma area with 650. – updated on 10/1 25

The source for all this data comes from the September 29, 2025 post entitled “Working list: Transitional tiny home villages in the USA,” published here on panethos.wordpress.com, along with updates since that publication. As new information is identified or planned villages are completed, this post will be updated.

These numbers do NOT include temporary overnight shelters, long-term shelters, transitional multi-family housing complexes (single or multi-story), safe parking sites, motel conversions, and other similar types of interim housing options.

Peace!
