Tiny Homes can be the ideal solution for a property/homeowner/investor with a small lot/parcel. The best news of all? Availability! They are available now. Not 4-6 months or even a year or more from now. We have them in stock at the San Bernardino factory and showroom. We will be happy to take you up there and let you tour the factory to see how well they are
Constructed and view some of the completed inventory to see how they are furnished.

If you don’t see something you like you can sit down with us and the factory rep and spec out your own home.

The best news of all? They can be permitted and installed for between $75,000 & $95,000 (Note: All projects are site specific and installation prices may vary accordingly. The above prices are average.) 

Full service kitchen with full size appliances custom countertops, cabinets fixtures and accessories

In certain instances they are even allowed throughout any/all local San Diego Jurisdictions. Contact CREST BACKYARD HOMES for pricing, permitting, delivery and installation information

The City of San Diego will now issue a permit for what is considered a TINY HOME or TINY HOME ON WHEELS aka THOW. A building permit is required but the entire process and experience takes a lot less time and costs thousands of dollars less. In certain instances they are even allowed on any lot or parcel in the County.

These TINY HOMES are the perfect answer for property homeowners with very small lots/parcels. They can be easily trailered with a 3/4 ton truck and installation is a lot less complicated and time consuming.

The BACK PORCH HOME is great as a travel trailer to your favorite fishing, boating, forest retreat or desert getaway.

BACK PORCH HOMES are not your average trailer. They are built with all the same building components used in traditional site built homes.  The quality is unparalleled at every stage of construction.
