4 Best Tiny Homes For Sale in Arizona

Despite the fact that at the time of writing (June 2023), we have not reviewed any tiny home builders in Arizona, there is a wide variety of tiny homes for sale in Arizona. Given the Grand Canyon State’s close proximity to areas with a high concentration of tiny house builders (Colorado, Utah, California), buyers can find and buy the tiny home of their dreams.

To help in your search for tiny houses for sale in Arizona, we have compiled a list of some of the tiny house builders that serve individuals in Arizona. For each tiny home builder, we have included information on their location, product offerings, cost estimates, photos, and links to a more in-depth company review.

As you begin to consider which Arizona tiny home builders might be best for your project, there are a few things to consider. First, unless you are planning on picking up your tiny home yourself, you may need to pay to ship it to the final site. This can add an additional cost of $1 - $6 per mile to your project. Also, you want to consider your tiny home’s intended use. Will you use it as a park-style model and place it on a semi-permanent foundation? Or, do you plan on moving around with it? In the second situation, you still need to hook up your house to utilities unless it is equipped with off-grid enabling features like solar panels, a composting toilet, and a water storage tank. 

Your answer to these questions can be used to help guide your search for a tiny home for sale in Arizona. Should you want more help with your project, work with a member of our Prefab Concierge team who can help you navigate the process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tiny Homes in Arizona

What is a tiny house on wheels and how is that different from a park model tiny house?

Within the tiny house living world, there are two main categories of tiny homes. Both categories of small houses include features like small spaces with limited square footage, creative storage solutions, and unique living areas like fold-down decks or sleeping lofts. The main difference between the two sets of tiny house plans is their foundation type. 

Tiny houses on wheels are often RVIA-certified models that are built on a trailer chassis and can be towed from location to location. In most cases, however, homes still require access to utility connections, a flat pad to be placed on, and heavy-duty towing capabilities.

Park model tiny homes, on the other hand, are designed to be placed on a more permanent foundation, much like houses in a trailer park. That is not to say that they can’t be moved, but they require more work to relocate than a standard tiny house.


How much does a tiny house for sale in Arizona cost?

Depending on your chosen company and model, tiny homes for sale in Arizona can range anywhere from $225 - $500+ per square foot. Because Arizona residents have limited access to in-state tiny house builders, however, you may have to pay slightly more to ship a tiny home from out of state. Companies in California, Utah, and Colorado have several options you might want to consider.


What alternatives exist to tiny homes?

Depending on your motive for building a tiny house, there are several different options you might want to consider. If you are driven to tiny homes due to their affordable price point, you might want to look into manufactured homes in Arizona. If you like the unique aesthetic of the tiny house movement, you might be interested in building a shipping container home in Arizona. Or, for DIY projects of all sizes, you might be interested in building a kit home.
