Welcome home.

A real home of your own, at ground level, with your own outdoor space and neighbors who chose this on purpose. Rent it or buy it. The land stays in trust either way.

What you get

A whole home

160 to 300 square feet with a full kitchen, a full bathroom, and your own front door. Factory-built and certified.

Your own outside

A patch of private outdoor space and a commons shared with a handful of households rather than a hallway shared with a hundred.

A rent that stops chasing

The land lease is set by what the site costs to run, not by what the market will bear. No one can sell the ground out from under you.

About what a studio costs, except you own it.

Buying: roughly $1,770 a month covers a $130,000 home and the $600 land lease. When the home is paid off, the lease is all that's left.

Renting: $1,300 for the home plus the same $600 lease. It doesn't rise with the market.

Illustrative example, not an offer. Ownership payment assumes $130,000 financed at 9% over 20 years.

Reserve my place — $100

Refundable at any time, minus the payment processor's fee. It reserves no specific home and does not affect whether you qualify. If you move into a Neighborship community, we credit it toward your first month's land lease.

We also hear about other tiny home opportunities around the Bay, so reach out even if you're just exploring. If we can point you somewhere better for your situation, we will.
