For people in downtown Calgary, tiny living isn’t much of a stretch — we’re practically pros at making the most of our limited space. Multipurpose furniture? Check. Under-bed storage? Check.

However, living small in the city doesn’t necessarily translate to low rent, with one-bedroom rentals in Calgary now averaging at $1,267, according to the National Rent Report from Rentals.ca and Bullpen Research and Consulting.

That’s $15,204 over the course of a year, which, depending on your salary, takes up a good chunk of your annual income for a property you don’t even own.

If you’re tired of paying sky-high rent for an apartment, then you may want to consider one of these tiny homes for affordable property ownership in Calgary. These homes allow you to go off-grid (goodbye condo maintenance fees), and they’re transportable, so you can choose the view you want to wake up to in the morning.

Keep in mind, though, permits for tiny dwellings vary by area, and, just like in the city, you’ll need someplace to park.
