Randall Park, Bangor’s first tiny home community, opened in late 2024 with 30 units and has been fully occupied since. Developed by local landlord Louie Morrison to help address the housing shortage, the 320-square-foot homes each include one bedroom, a bathroom, heat pumps, and some have lofts or closets. Rent is $1,300/month.
Residents include retirees, people starting over, and pet owners. Denise LaGasse moved there for a fresh start after her husband’s death, while Maggie Lusk-Johnson, a minimalist nearing retirement, appreciates the efficient design. Davi Barreiros enjoys the space despite sharing it with two large huskies, and Syd Danforth values the community feel after returning to Maine.
Residents praise the park’s quiet setting and sense of safety. Morrison received hundreds of applications and hopes the concept can contribute to solving Maine’s housing challenges.
