Consider Investing in These Prefab and Tiny Homes

Prefabricated, flat-pack, or modular, ready-made micro houses surged in popularity at the onset of the pandemic, as homeowners sought more space at home and quick getaways in far-flung locations. Now, as the possibility of a recession looms, these easy-to-add structures are, surprisingly, more practical than ever. “Due to the current housing market, we are seeing clients using them as a way to stay in their homes instead of moving to get more space,” says Katy VanderDoes, senior marketing manager at Modal Living, a maker of prefab ADUs. The allure of living big in small spaces rests in what the ready-made home can become: a seamless extension of your home. Here are some of the most exciting brands offering units that are perfect for the dreamer with big plans and small square footage. From a guest house designed for multigenerational living to a double-decker beauty, they’re sure to radically change your lifestyle for the better—making them well worth the investment.

New Frontier

A high-end vacation home with plenty of room, New Frontier’s forthcoming model is illuminated by LED lights and features huge windows on both ends and a generous floor plan with dual entrances. The narrow shape works well on small sites; you can add two side-by-side for a larger footprint. The large windows beckon you to enjoy a lazy afternoon away from the world.

Dwell House

This West Coast-inspired prefab ADU makes retreating to your backyard feel sacred. Brand new to the market, the Dwell House by Abodu would make a great in-law suite for multigenerational living. The brand saw a major uptick during the pandemic as more families wanted to be closer to loved ones. Abodu delivers each unit turnkey, in as little as six months, saving you the headache of finding a builder.

Backyard

Available in California so far, Samara’s Backyard models come as studios or one-bedrooms and are built to last a lifetime. Solar panels on the roof harvest enough energy to power each unit.
