As the tiny home movement has grown, more people have increasingly become interested in small footprint foundation homes. Our modular homes on foundations provide permanency, just like a larger traditional home. In fact, at Cornerstone, our high-quality small footprint foundation homes are Florida Building Code Compliant and provide safe, comfortable living spaces even during Florida storm season.
Our foundation tiny homes may be small in size, but they offer maximum efficiency, space utilization, and comfort. In order to purchase a tiny home from Cornerstone, you’ll need to own a residential lot with zoning that allows a small home. Our team at Cornerstone can advise how to approach your zoning department for answers on what is permitted on your lot. We take pride in offering our customers the opportunity to own their own home, especially during a housing market where the price of home ownership is going up and rental rates are higher than ever before.

Building Standards:
When you purchase a Florida Building Code compliant foundation home it is permanently attached to the lot, so yes, you own the lot and house when you purchase a foundation home. Our wheeled units are licensed and titled RV travel trailers; these types are parked in an RV park where you likely will pay a monthly lot rent.
In Florida, most properties will only allow a foundation-based home, either in a backyard or as a main dwelling. Typically, the zoning department that has jurisdiction over your lot will have all the answers. Talk with them about your plans and ask if there is a minimum square footage requirement.
All our homes are built as they are sold so that you can personalize them with your selections. We do not keep an inventory of pre-built homes.
All of our homes are built in our facility just north of Orlando in Longwood, FL.
Yes. The foundation-based homes are permanently attached to the property and become part of the real estate improvements. A wheeled unit is licensed and tagged as an RV travel trailer, so it could be sold and towed to any location.
Yes, you can get typical homeowners insurance for the foundation homes. Since they are Florida Building Code compliant, there is usually no distinction between a typical site-built home and a modular home. Wheeled units are insured as RV travel trailers.
Yes, we can recommend a lender that can qualify you for a construction to permanent mortgage loan for a foundation home. If you are considering a wheeled unit, we work with a bank that provides construction loans for RVs, as well.
