Alternative Housing: Exploring Unique Living Options
Summary:
Alternative housing offers a range of options from tents to $100,000 RVs. Here are some intriguing choices and their benefits.
---
Why choose alternative housing? The reasons are as diverse as the options themselves: saving money, exploring new places, or embracing a creative lifestyle. Whether it’s tents, RVs, cabins, underground homes, or rental rooms, these unconventional living spaces offer unique advantages compared to traditional houses, condos, and apartments.
Mobile Alternatives
While camping at a hot springs area, we encountered young men living in a converted school bus. It cost them nothing to park in the desert (though on BLM land, you must move every two weeks), they enjoyed free baths in natural hot springs, and shared music around the campfire. Not a bad way to live.
In Arizona, communities thrive each winter with people residing in their RVs. The benefits of RV living are clear: follow the seasons, explore different locales, and avoid property taxes. RVs range from luxurious $200,000 models to more modest $600 versions, offering a wide spectrum of choices.
My wife and I spent nearly a month in our conversion van traveling from Arizona to Florida and then Michigan. Vans offer better mileage than RVs and allow you to be more discreet. We discovered we could park and sleep almost anywhere with ease.
Fixed Location Options
In areas with high rent, room rentals are becoming common, especially for singles. Paying a fixed amount each month or week, often with utilities included, provides a predictable, lower-cost living option. I rented out rooms in my home for years, even transforming a shed with carpeting and lighting to rent for $50 a week during summer.
A friend built a shack for $3,000 on land he purchased for $7,000. Although he faced county regulations due to lack of an occupancy permit, he was allowed to camp. A $2,000 used RV parked on the land became an affordable, legal home.
Others live on houseboats, evading property taxes, or reside in the jungles near Hawaiian beaches to afford paradise. I've known people who lived in basements while constructing their homes above, and those who set up cabins in national forest wilderness, relocating every few years as necessary. Truly, your imagination is the only limit to your alternative housing options.
