I left my life in DC to live in a 400-square-foot tiny home near Tampa. I feel like I have more space and I'm saving money so I don't regret it.
This essay is based on an interview with Stefanie Mortenson, a 53-year-old HR director who moved from Virginia to Escape Tampa Bay Village's The Oaks community, a tiny home neighborhood near Tampa, Florida. The interview has been edited for length and clarity.In 1998, I moved to Alexandria, Virginia about 10 miles from Washington, DC for a better career opportunity.
They had an open house a few weeks after. So I flew down to see and start taking measurements of my new 396-square-foot home. I am starting anew in a lot of ways and I've had to be more creative. The furniture I ended up buying has dual purposes, like a couch with built-in storage. But it feels like I have more space than I did at my 650-square-foot Virginia apartment. Here, the space is better utilized.
