Best Tiny Homes For Sale in Alaska

While Alaskans might not have the same access to quality tiny home builders that buyers in the Lower 48 may have, that does not mean that there are no options available for tiny homes for sale in Alaska. In the event you are looking to buy a tiny house, you will likely need to work with an out-of-state company and have the tiny home shipped to your location. While this may seem prohibitive, it is made easier by the fact that most tiny homes can be built on wheels and easily transported or relocated.

That includes cities like Anchorage, Juneau, Fairbanks. For each builder, we have included a summary of their operations as well as information on their tiny home portfolio with cost estimates.
