Laurens is buzzing with excitement as it gears up for the anticipated Timbers of Laurens, a brand-new tiny home community that’s going to change the game for affordable housing! This isn’t just any tiny home community—it’s the first family-owned and operated one in the area, and development has been underway for the past few years.

Where to Find the Timbers of Laurens
Set on a picturesque 15 acres, the Timbers of Laurens offers residents the perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility.

Potential residents will have a selection of five distinct home models, each with customization options to suit individual tastes and lifestyles. Prices for these homes range from $135,000 to $150,000, which includes installation costs. When it comes to monthly living expenses, homeowners can expect to budget between $700 and $800 to cover utilities such as power, water, sewer, and community amenities, making tiny living not only eco-friendly but also cost-effective!
