Could Cottage Clusters Solve the “First Home” Problem? | HV04 Short3

Cottage cluster housing could be one of Oregon’s most practical tools for creating more attainable middle-income housing. Instead of expanding into undeveloped land, the idea is to reuse existing residential lots — often with older, inefficient homes — and replace them with several smaller homes, often around 900 square feet or less. Because utilities are already nearby and the land is already within the built environment, cottage clusters can add gentle density without requiring large new infrastructure investments. For buyers or renters looking for a first step into stable housing, this model may offer a more realistic path toward ownership, community, and affordability.
