Dragon Tiny Homes is bringing affordability back to the tiny house movement with the Aria, a compact yet stylish tiny home priced at just $50,000. While many modern tiny houses come with luxury features and high price tags, the Aria embraces the movement’s humble roots, offering a cost-effective yet comfortable living space.
Built on a double-axle trailer, the Aria measures 20 feet (6 meters) in length, making it comparable to European models like Baluchon’s Hytta. The exterior is finished in durable engineered wood, while the interior is clad in charming shiplap. Upon entering, you step into a well-designed kitchen, featuring a sink, electric stove, fridge/freezer, and ample cabinetry. There’s also space for an oven or dishwasher, plus a small breakfast bar/work area that seats two.
The living room, though compact, can accommodate a small sofa and end table. Its high ceiling, generous glazing, and ceiling fan enhance ventilation and create a more spacious feel. Opposite the living area, the bathroom includes a vanity sink, flushing toilet, and a shower, ensuring all essential amenities are covered.
A storage-integrated staircase leads to the cozy loft bedroom, designed to fit a comfortable double bed. While the low ceiling is typical of tiny house lofts, the clever layout maximizes functionality.
Dragon Tiny Homes has carved out a niche in the affordable tiny home market, offering multiple models at $50,000 or less, with its most budget-friendly option priced under $24,000. The Aria proves that tiny living can still be affordable, practical, and stylish, making it an excellent choice for those seeking minimalist, budget-friendly housing without sacrificing comfort.
