Lennar Enters the Tiny House/ADU Market

 


Is there a market for tiny homes in San Antonio? Lennar seems to think so.

Here's a sneak peek of the homes under construction at Lennar’s Elm Trails subdivision, to see how the city’s biggest homebuilder is building its smallest homes. Offerings at Elm Trails include Lennar’s Cooley model, which comes in at an even 350 square feet, and their Henley model at a curiously specific 661 square feet.



Perhaps what is most striking about the products, however, is their prices. A Cooley home at Elm Trails is listed on Lennar’s website for a cool $131,000 — a price point that faded from the San Antonio market for newly built stick-and-frame homes.



Generally, San Antonio tends to spurn small-footprint lots, and enforces 40-foot lot minimums through prohibitive zoning ordinances, which discourages developers from trying to build smaller.

If Lennar discovers an appetite for small-footprint housing in San Antonio, it could be a key piece of the affordable housing puzzle in the city.

  2. The soy suckers paying 130k+ for a shed deserve whatever miserable existence they sow.

  3. I don't know why people would shell out that much. I paid 18k to build my shed and it has all the amenities as a house. I could have spent 10k more for it to be a little larger and have a second story, but it would have been taking too much of a backyard.
