Helen had been watching tiny homes for years. She drove an hour to work six days a week from her condominium and said she never got a sense of community there. She came to visit Simple Life about two years before she bought anything. When she walked the community, she said it was clear: this was it.
She bought her home in 2020, a resale priced at $77,500, and paid cash, no loan. The home came with a dishwasher and a large side-by-side refrigerator. Before moving she had planned exactly where everything would go. When she arrived, it took almost no time to feel settled.
Helen is not a cook. Her son jokes that she only has a kitchen because it came with the house. The microwave handles almost everything. The smooth-top stove barely gets used. The pantry holds coats, supplies, and whatever else needs a home.
