Welcome to Laurens: A New Tiny Home Community on the Horizon!
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. With spring 2025 officially upon us, progress is well on its way to a summer opening!
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. Nestled just minutes from Interstate 385 at 3315 Metric Road, this community is designed to be secluded, inviting residents to unwind in a peaceful atmosphere while still being close to urban conveniences.
Life in a Tiny Home
Each tiny home will maximize space with a cozy layout offering a maximum size of just 399 square feet.

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!
Beautiful Community Amenities
The Timbers of Laurens is set to provide an array of community features that everyone will love! The gated community will be outfitted with several inviting fire pits, allowing for perfect evenings spent with friends and family under the stars.
