Is a Tiny Home Right for You? 7 Questions Colorado Buyers Should Ask Before Downsizing
Thinking about downsizing? With the growing popularity of tiny homes in Colorado Springs and across the state, many homeowners are rethinking how much space they really need. At EverDwell Tiny Homes, we help buyers find freedom through smarter, simpler living. But before you make the move, it’s important to ask yourself the right questions.
Here are 7 key things to consider before purchasing a tiny home in Colorado:
1. Why are you choosing tiny living?
Whether it’s for financial freedom, sustainability, or a simpler lifestyle, knowing your “why” will shape every other decision. Tiny homes aren’t just about less square footage—they’re about more intentional living.
2. Do local zoning laws allow tiny homes?
This one’s big. Regulations vary across Colorado counties. Some areas welcome tiny homes as primary residences, while others only allow them as ADUs (accessory dwelling units). EverDwell Tiny Homes can help walk you through the latest zoning updates in Colorado Springs and nearby communities.
3. Will your lifestyle fit the space?
Are you a minimalist or a collector? Will you be working from home or traveling often? Think through your daily routines. A well-designed tiny home can work for families, singles, or retirees—but planning is key.
4. Do you want a foundation or wheels?
At EverDwell Tiny Homes, we build both tiny homes on wheels and permanent foundation options. Each has different implications for mobility, insurance, and land use.
5. What’s your long-term vision?
Are you hoping to live tiny for a few years, or is this your forever plan? Your long-term goals can help determine your budget, floor plan, and material choices.
6. How will utilities and hookups work?
Will your tiny home be connected to city services, or will it be off-grid? From composting toilets to solar panels, we’ll help you design a solution that works for your location and lifestyle.
7. Who’s your builder—and are they local?
Choosing a trusted builder is one of the most important steps. At EverDwell Tiny Homes, we’re based in Colorado and understand the unique building requirements, seasonal shifts, and community needs of this region. Our designs are optimized for comfort, energy efficiency, and local compliance.
