Tiny homes have become increasingly popular over the past couple of years and with affordable living becoming less attainable in larger cities such as Vancouver and Toronto, we have seen a huge influx of people looking to downsize and make the lifestyle switch to tiny home living. When thinking about tiny homes, one traditionally thinks of a small home on wheels that can be moved anywhere at anytime. While these are great options for those who have land and lots of vacant space available for parking, it does not become the practical option for those living in the big cities.

Enter micro-condos, the urban equivalent of a tiny home. These condos may be compact and be only 400-600 square feet, but they are often very efficient and are perfect for an individual or couple looking to make their home in the heart of the city.

Vancouver is one city that has seen micro-condo building popping up with increased frequency. While city is ranked low for housing affordability, according to the RE/MAX 2019 Liveability Report, micro-condos provide potential buyers the opportunity to own a piece of property in the middle of the hustle and bustle at a relatively inexpensive price tag, compared to the rest of the properties on the market.

Let’s take a look at 5 Vancouver tiny-homes for sale that are all less than 500 square feet!
