[Looking for Advices] 4 tiny/small houses vs traditional house?
edit: we're in Virginia
Hello, I don't know if I post in the right sub-reddit. I'm researching about tiny houses these day for my family.
Me (33M), my wife, my mom (72), my dad (75) will be living in the same lot. In my culture, we keep family close and like spending time and having dinner together. But I prefer every family has their own house and space. So I'm planning to have:
- A small house for me and my wife, 1 bed 1 bth, big living space
- A small house for my mom and dad, 1 bed 1 bth
- A communal kitchen house, have kitchen and dining space
- An extra house so we can use as storage/office and guest room.
- We have a 1.5 acres land and the free spaces will be used for small livestock and vegetable garden for personal consumption.
For the 2 main houses, I'm doing research on small house instead of tiny house because I want my mom and dad to have real HVAC or systems that are more comfortable for senior.
Is this realistic and worth it? Am I being stupid for considering this... Would a normal traditional house 3 bed 2 bath actually cheaper?
Thank you for your advices, I appreciate every input and experiences you had. Have anyone here choose the same, building multiple small houses rather than 1 traditional house?
