Resort & Vacation Living: Park model homes placed near the James River and Belle Isle create private settings for resort and vacation living with easy access to trails and water.

Airbnb & Short-Term Rentals: Tourism activity around Maymont Park and the Virginia State Capitol supports short-term rental opportunities for park models on suitable lots.

Weekend Cabin Retreats: A custom park model near Pocahontas State Park or the Appomattox River gives homeowners quick escapes into nature without long travel.

Backyard ADUs: Lots in Henrico and Midlothian can accommodate park model ADUs where local zoning permits additional living space.

Every home ships fully finished from our Ohio facility directly to your Richmond property, ready for immediate placement.

Richmond Tiny Home Zoning & Building Requirements

Zoning: Richmond allows ADUs in many residential zones while Henrico and Chesterfield counties often provide more placement options for park model homes on larger lots; confirm exact setbacks and lot requirements with the local planning office before purchase.

Permits: Urban placements in Richmond generally require building permits for utility and septic connections; RVIA-certified park model homes may qualify for RV permits in rural county locations.

Financing: Most Virginia buyers use RV loans or personal loans to finance their park model home; Great Lakes Tiny Homes can refer you to lenders experienced with this type of purchase.
