Like just about every city in the US, Austin, TX is seeing housing prices go through the roof. This has hurt those in the low-middle and affordable housing markets find new homes.
Work is currently underway on one tiny-home community in South Austin and another in Kyle. Together, they will have space for close to 500 tiny homes.
The Austin project, Constellation ATX, will feature almost 100 lots for tiny homes. It’s scheduled to open this spring.
The Kyle project, tentatively called Stage Coach with the grand opening is slated for late this spring or early this summer.
Home prices will range from $55,000 to $140,000 each, he says. By comparison, the median price of a single-family home in November was $341,000 in Travis County and $260,000 in Hays County, according to the Austin Board of Realtors.
