Virginia requires tiny homes on foundations to follow state building codes, which set a maximum size of 400 sq. ft. along with minimum height and safety standards. That can make building on a foundation tricky, but there’s no need to worry. Park model homes are classified as RVs, and each of our models carries the RVIA Seal, showing it meets ANSI A119.5 standards recognized nationwide. Local rules can still vary, but we’ve put together a complete guide to help you navigate them with confidence.
Our park model tiny homes are built around your needs and tastes. Step inside the A-Frame model featured in this video and see how everyday life can unfold in one of these artfully designed spaces.

Tiny homes on foundations must comply with the IRC and Virginia’s building code. Park models, by contrast, are RVs built to ANSI A119.5 standards and RVIA-certified, making them simpler to place in many locations.

Park models can be a smart choice for vacation housing or short-term rentals in popular areas like Shenandoah or the Blue Ridge. Their affordability and flexibility make them appealing compared to traditional housing. Always confirm local zoning before using them as rentals.
