Inside lakeside tiny homes village where monthly rent starts at $450 and bylaw means you'll soon kno
A TINY homes village in South Carolina is welcoming new residents with affordable property prices and policies encouraging community.
Small communities of tiny homes have been popping up across the country, as more and more people embrace a minimalist lifestyle and desire to live near like-minded people.
Lake Walk Tiny Home Community on the shores of Lake Cunningham in Greer, South Carolina, was built on these principles a few years ago.
The community covers 15 acres and includes 43 individual lots interspersed across the property, according to their Facebook page (@LakeWalkCommunity).
Residents can rent the land starting from $450 and place their own purchased tiny home on it.
The organizers even incorporated elements into the community's bylaws help ensure a sense of community.

Lake Walk tiny home properties are not allowed to be rented out on sites like AirBnb, making residents live in the homes themselves and – hopefully – get to know their neighbors.
The community also encourages socializing by offering residents a number of trails, gardens, and other green spaces to use.
There are four types of tiny homes that the community offers new residents, each under 400-square-feet.
Interested buyers can check out the community's Facebook, where organizers regularly post offers for available properties.

The community recently advertised one tiny home, the Alexander Park model, on sale for $137,500 that includes a master bedroom downstairs and a loft upstairs along with a view of the lake.
This model also offers a deck and space for bunk beds, if needed, according to the Tiny House Blog.
The for-sale post advertises the lot lease as $525 per month and includes all utilities except propane, internet, and cable.
But the tiny home "can’t be used for Airbnb or any type of rental property," the post tells potential buyers.
A YouTube video about the community gained thousands of views and dozens of likes from fans.
"I love this community. I am planning on relocating here to retire in 2023," one person commented.
