We're a family of four who built our own private tiny village - I may be 20 but I already have my ow

ONE 20-year-old college student has taken things a step further in the tiny home movement.

Lennox from Kentucky and her family live in a village of seven tiny houses.

Lennox has been sharing videos about her life in the tiny village on TikTok under the user name @tinyvillagegirl.

This Gen-Z villager has seven buildings constructed so far, built in a circle with a garden in the center.

Lennox lives in the main house with her boyfriend, and they also have an office, a barn, a separate bathroom, and a poolhouse

Her parents and her brother also have their own tiny homes in the village.

Lennox and her folks began living in the tiny village in 2014 after her family relocated from Michigan to Kentucky.

“My mom was like, ‘Why don’t we down-size and live more environmentally sustainably?’” she recalled.

“So now we have this little village.”

The village was constructed using ready-built sheds which her dad then insulated and painted to make them suitable for living.

To save space in her home, Lennox does not have a bathroom.

In fact, one of the few downsides to her tiny village lifestyle is that she sometimes has to make a midnight dash to the separate bathroom house.

“I run over there, in the middle of the night - rain, hail, sleet, hurricane,” she said.

ON THE SMALL SIDE

While many Americans dream of owning a two-story house with a white picket fence, there’s a new generation of homeowners doing things differently.

One ambitious YouTuber, David Rule, built his own tiny home from scratch last year, despite having zero prior construction experience.

The 150 square feet house, built on an old trailer bed, cost under $8,000 to construct.

“I was able to turn my dream into a reality and become a homeowner,” said David. “Even if that home is only about 150 square feet, it still counts.”

Although People like David and Lennox might still be in the minority, the tiny home lifestyle is becoming less and less unusual.
