All Homesteads feature modern designs and flexible layouts. You can even install movable walls—how’s that for flexibility?!? The different model numbers reflect the various square footage Homesteads available. For example, the most petite H9 is a 900 square foot, two-bed, one-bath home, while the largest H30 features 3000 square feet.
Why We Love Them
We love the commitment PhoenixHaus has to personal and environmental health. In addition, their flexible designs encourage multigenerational use of their homes, helping lower the overall cost of ownership.
