Thinking about joining *the tiny home movement? *Here are FIVE reasons why people are choosing to go TINY!
## Lower Cost of Living
As the costs of traditional homes continue to rise, people are turning to smaller, [more affordable housing alternatives.](https://www.forbes.com/home-improvement/contractor/tiny-house-cost/) Over the last decade, tiny homes have been a popular choice among many aspiring homeowners. More than a sustainable, and affordable housing alternative, tiny homes are a social movement.
### Travel and Adventure
The tiny house phenomenon is uniquely attractive to those who do not wish to live a “traditional” lifestyle. Many tiny home dwellers are attracted to the idea of having the freedom to travel. Because tiny homes [do not have to stay in one place,](https://holrmagazine.com/tiny-home-living-for-a-travel-lifestyle/) adventurers can travel freely, cross-country, for as long as they please, anywhere they can park!
## Eco-Friendly
When you choose to build a tiny home, you are also choosing to be more environmentally conscious – it’s a win, win! In comparison to traditional homes, tiny homes require fewer materials for construction and need less energy to power. One study found that tiny home living can [reduce a single person’s carbon footprint by 70 percent! ](https://ideas.ted.com/impact-of-tiny-homes-on-the-environment-and-affordable-housing/#:~:text=One%20of%20the%20main%20environmental,to%20traditional%20single%2Dfamily%20houses)
Simplification / De-Clutter
These days, minimalism is the new wave.

For many tiny homeowners, decluttering their space was a top priority when choosing to downsize. However, minimalism is not only about downsizing and clearing out clutter; [minimalism is learning to live comfortably with less](https://www.thetinyhouse.net/downsize-to-live-in-a-tiny-house/) – a central ideal for aspiring tiny homeowners!
