I thought I’d share this tiny house community that’s been around for more than 100 years in Toronto with you.
It started many years ago when for less than 100 dollars you could buy a lot and you were sold the lumber to build your own home.
It is located in Craven Road in Toronto and the houses are all under 500 square feet.

It’s amazing to me that this community has lasted so long, isn’t it?
Over 100 years!
I think it speaks to the potential of tiny house communities around the world.
