Tiny houses are very popular in Amsterdam | He lives

Amsterdam is the leader in the number of tiny homes. A survey by Kadaster Nederland shows that in 20 years, the sale of tiny homes has risen from 3,600 to 5,100 in the Netherlands. Of those, 51 percent were sold in the country’s four largest cities. The capital, Amsterdam, stands out compared to Rotterdam, The Hague, and Utrecht.

Tiny houses are small studio homes where people enjoy all the comforts of a small home. This house measures less than 50 square metres. You eat, sleep, and cook in the same room and there are often common areas, such as a bike cellar or laundry room, as well.

These homes are getting more and more popular because people like to live in big cities and the homes there often have a high selling price. This concept offers people an opportunity to live at a cheaper but smaller rate in the city center.

Tiny houses are not the same as tiny homes. With tiny houses, people choose to live in the city center, while tiny houses are smaller and more remote. Tiny homes are often grouped into an apartment complex so that the residents can use the common areas. Tiny houses are not aggregate and are often self-contained. For example, with a tiny house you can live completely secluded as there are no water or electricity facilities. Moreover, a tiny house is much cheaper than a tiny one. A small house that has been finished and furnished costs between 50,000 and 60,000 euros.
