24 Gorgeous Shipping Container Homes
Anyone who's looking to buy a house can tell you that they aren't cheap. Unfortunately, wages can't keep up with the rising cost in housing; and Generation Y, whose members are at the prime age for first time home buying, are drowning in student loan debt. America is in desperate need of affordable housing.
Enter the ubiquitous shipping container. Shipping containers typically cost between $1800 and $5000 depending on their size. They're readily available for purchase and virtually indestructible (e.g. fireproof, waterproof, built to handle heavy loads, etc.) They can easily be stacked and welded together to form multi-story homes. They're sturdy as all get out, and can handle just about anything thrown at them. However, just like any other structure, container homes do have some disadvantages. Do your research before making a commitment.
Until then, here are some stunning container homes to add to your idea board.
