When we decided to focus an issue on houses smaller than the national average of 2,400 square feet, it was hard to imagine doing it without a shout-out to locally based and internationally acclaimed architectural designer Rocio Romero, the mind behind the prefab LV Series line of contemporary home kits. This two-bedroom, two-bath house, the original LV design, covers a total of 1,150 square feet and costs $36,870 for the materials. Construction is additional and runs about $125 to $195 per square foot. And of course, if you wanted a small home for you alone, there’s always the 625-square-foot LVM Home (at $24,950).

Finance know-how helps. So does patience, transparency, and a willingness to keep showing up— especially in a post-tornado year.
