Tiny Tranquility was founded in 2018 and is now home to around 43 long-term residents living in their own tiny houses.
Located just a stone’s throw from the beach, the residents pay $650 to $750 per month to rent a plot of land that is between 2,400 and 4,000 square feet.
On this plot of land, they can lay down their own tiny home. The home is not included in the rent.
But water, power, sewer hookups, and WiFi are included free of charge.

The minimum stay is one month, and the rent is significantly reduced for those who want to make a longer-term commitment.
On-site, there are also three vintage trailers that can be rented short-term via Airbnb.
One of the things that makes Tiny Tranquility so attractive to its residents is the wide range of amenities and communal spaces.
For example, inside a 12,000-square-foot greenhouse, there is a community garden, bike racks, and storage facilities.

There are several communal buildings, including a clubhouse with a free laundry room, game room, and TV room.
Residents can park their cars next to their homes on their spacious plots of land.
Although Tiny Tranquility is currently full, park owner Josh Palmer told the YouTube channel Tiny House Giant Journey that he is thinking about building a second site.
“I’ve thought about doing a second park, I don’t have any particular plans at this point but I have looked at some properties.
“It seems there’s a real demand for parks of this type if they’re done right," he said.

But Tiny Tranquility is far from the only tiny home community in America.
Just outside of Austin, Texas, Mobile Loaves and Fishes is a village of 328 tiny homes.
Unlike Tiny Tranquility, the residents at this park are all formerly homeless, and now pay as little as $225 for their fully furnished homes.
Over in Detroit, Michigan, a village of 25 affordable tiny homes has been created for low-income residents thanks to donations by Jon Bon Jovi, Ford, and General Motors.
But you don’t have to live in a tiny home community to start enjoying a smaller space.
