Meet Booker T. Washington, the developer of South Park Cottages–a modern tiny house & cottage home community in the Atlanta metro. Includes 29 two-story small & tiny homes, 399 to 635 sqft–energy efficient with smart home features & luxe finishes. Situated on 2.5 acres around communal spaces, including walking trails, gardens & fire pits with parking on the perimeter. Enjoy a tiny home community tour, a modern tiny house walkthrough, first-time homeowners’ perspectives, and Booker’s insights into how to redefine homeownership in urban communities– the mission of his micro-home building company, Techie Homes Inc. This was their first development AND the first Black & minority developed micro-community in the US!
A primary motivator behind their micro home communities is attainable homeownership. The average mortgage of the featured modern cottages is a relatively affordable $1300-1500, much less than the median mortgages in the area.

I want to be part of building a community like this!! Congratulations on this beautiful community, Booker!

I absolutely love your concept! Your mom has got to be very proud of you!!!!❤
Love this! The amount of planning and thought that went into realizing this place is clear. I’d love to see more of this in my small city in Ohio. It’s a post-industrial town with old crumbling housing stock. Even $200k per unit would be too expensive here, but I bet this could be done far cheaper in my location. Who knows, building something similar to this could be a 2nd career for me after I retire, but the price of entry would have to be well below $150k where I live.
Genius idea. Genius real estate developer. I would love to see their pro forma and get any information on how to do this very thing ❤
Wonderful idea!
You know what. I see these from the high way
All praise be to God! 🙌🏾 BEAUTIFUL!!
