The tiny house movement is growing in popularity in the US due to economic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Millennials and digital nomads are attracted to the lower cost and mobility of tiny homes. While small in size, tiny homes use high-quality materials and efficient designs. They have tax advantages over traditional homes and provide affordable housing options. Innovators are designing tiny homes that meet sustainability standards and can be connected to utilities or transported easily. The movement is driven by books, TV shows, and influential figures promoting minimalism.
