I wonder how many of us are looking to find a tiny-home community?

I am retiring and downsizing, and truly, less is more. I live in Rosewood and would love to find one around here. I believe a few of my neighbors would like this too.

I’d like 500 to 600 square feet, preferable with a garage. I hope someone will consider making this happen as I want newer, smaller home as yard, nice friendly neighbors that enjoy sharing as helping one another.
