Tiny Home Tours by State: Real Homes Across the US

One of the first questions people ask when they start considering tiny living is a simple one: does this actually work where I live? Seeing a real, filmed home in or near your own state answers that faster than any spec sheet. So we have gathered our tours here, organized by the state each home is in, with the costs, layouts, and honest tradeoffs of real people who made the move.

This page grows over time. Every new tour we film gets added under its state, so check back as the map fills in.

FAQ

Where can I find tiny home tours by state? This page organizes Tiny Home Tours' real, filmed home tours by the state they are located in, currently spanning Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin. Each entry links to the full tour with photos, costs, and layout details, and new states are added as we film them.

Are tiny homes legal in every state? No. Rules for tiny homes vary widely by state, county, and even city, covering where you can place a home, what size and foundation are required, and whether a tiny home on wheels is allowed at all. Always check your specific local jurisdiction before you buy or build.

Which states have the most tiny homes? Tiny homes and tiny home communities are especially common in states like Texas, Florida, California, and the Carolinas, though real homes exist in nearly every state, including colder ones like Wisconsin and off-grid builds in Alaska. The tours on this page show real examples across those regions.
