I don't think I could live in a space like that.
I kind of want to buy some land, build something small like that. Hook up electricity, water, sewage, communication.
I wonder how much it would cost.

How much is the rent?

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
I'm moving into a 650sqft apartment by myself in a couple of weeks and it seems tiny, lol. Good luck, OP!
The key is to find someone who has land that is willing to let you setup camp at that is already developed, like a ranch or horse properties. I found some properties that will let me do it for about $100 a month.

does your cell at least come with a window?
didn't know you guys would be interested in seeing the picture, lol but here are some pictures i took with my phone last night
as i said, mine is not as bad as the photos on my first post, im actually moving from a 2bedroom + living room space into this, the key is to not have too much junk in the room, make it knee and organize and things will work out! And i do have my own bathroom and toilet.
and actually, living in space like this is not new to me, when i used to live in Toronto, i used to live in shared house downtown with 15 rooms in a house, and my room was basically about the same size as mine now.

My dorm room in college was maybe double the size of that, but was still livable. This doesnt even look that bad if all youre doing is surfing the web and sleeping there. My only thing is the kitchen and bathroom. I don't like sharing

If you are a single dude and working or going to school I can't imagine needing much more space than that. It doesn't look too bad. At least you get some life experience out of it lol.
Win!
Can you show us? I'm really interested.

Dude, you should move into one of these:

I could rent one of these for a whole year for what I pay in rent every month.

It actually doesn't look too bad as long as you can get out enough and not planning on having company. I am not sure how long I would or could do that. Currently I am living in a decently sized apartment, but don't have it filled.with anything. I hate clutter, and if I don't plan on using it a good amount, I just pass on it.
Well damn. That sounds perfect to me, honestly. As long as the neighbors were ass holes I would move in!

Hmmm The houses start at around $57,000 and to have it delivered is $500-$3000 depending on where you live, then I'd warrant another couple thousand for the sewage/electricity hook-ups (especially if you want to integrate solar panels and net) Probably at least a $70,000 investment just to start. Be kind of a fun thing to chip into with a couple of friends. Tiny retreats would be very appealing to many, I think. Writer's getaway or therapy. So many options.
I'm paying HKD $4000 which is about US$500 for this place
and before i moved in, i actually re-painted the room (blue), brought in my own wooden table and cut it in half to make a table and shelve on top of the sink. will get some white fabric to make curtain for the window
Ouch. That's a deal breaker right there. I know prices are steep in HK, but damn.
Still, hope you enjoy your new place!

Today is the day I stop complaining about the size of my apartment.

I really wish tiny living spaces like that were more popular here as it'd be affordable enough for me to live on my own instead of always having roommates. Bump size up a tiny bit to give a separate small bathroom and a small kitchen area and I would love it.
I lived in a "bedroom space" that was rough 50 sq ft. for nearly two years. It was an apartment's dining room converted into an extra bedroom by hanging sheets and making walls with cardboard. So while my private space was quite small I did share the usual apartment public spaces with my other roommates.

I would not recommend buying one of these pre-made. It kind of defeats the purpose. I am looking at $15,000 to build mine. And by the way, you have to worry about insurance and damage to it. This does not fall under the same class as a house or an RV unit. You could lose thousands if something goes wrong due to an act of God, vandalism or theft.
You can also rent them. I took one out to the red woods last spring. I highly recommend it because the minimalist and small space life-style is not for everyone.
That seems pricey
I'm in the City of Houston and your average apartment is $600 USD/month
Awesome thread btw.
A+

I'd totally live in one of these for 200 a month.
Hm, a guy I know is buying land for a few thousand. Tennessee.
whaaat!?
57k is a rip off. Could build simething better around 10k probably.

Yeah, that was just for pre-made, I think. I'd rather build because it's more fun. I did imagine insurance would be tricky as it seems not quite house or vacation van. Which one are you going for? And, do you have your own land or did you buy ?
Haha. It did seem pretty steep. Don't know if 10k could match it, but just doing it yourself would be way cheaper no doubt. Be a fun project to work on.
I lived in a pretty small apartment when I was studying in Osaka. Not as small as what you've got - I'm guessing it was 100~110 square foot, and we had a mutual kitchen area so that stuff didn't have to be in our individual rooms.
I ended up really liking it. Even spending a lot of time in it, you get used to a small space very quickly, and one of the best parts is that it makes you consider very hard anything you might think about wanting to own. I broke a lot of collecting / buying habits due to living there, and I think I'm far better off for it.

Similar one in the UK.
Dwelle house.
"The award winning dwelle.ing can achieve zero carbon status, potentially meet Passivhaus standards and if doubled-up (which can be done at a later date), will meet Lifetime Homes Standards."
This doesn't seem anything special as it is just a room. There are examples that have a functional bedroom, kitchen and living room in a really small space.

Something like this though would be awesome...

I can appreciate the use of space, but, blegh. I hate the modern looking ones. Soulless, cold. Looks like something out of Tomorrowland at Disney.

Besides the need for curtains, I would quite enjoy living in a place like this.

That's a bit harsh. This is a city with one of the highest costs of living in the world. And it is an island. If you can find something in Manhattan for $500 p.m., you are going to end up with something this size. Or commuting 1 hour by train.
Most likely a Cypress variant, as the porches on the others kind of seem pointless and take up valuable space. We have a lot of horse properties out here that people put up on Craig's list for people to use with their RV's so I will most likely use on of those for awhile. Nothing like waking up on a farm.

That sounds really cool. Would love it if you made a thread once it gets underway. To see the progress as it goes up would be fascinating.
