In Episode 22 of Real People Real Estate, Lindsay sits down with Aimee Fraulo, a science researcher and outdoor educator who recently returned to Massachusetts after spending 14 years in North Carolina. While trying to relocate back to New England and stay close to family and friends, Aimee took an unconventional path — purchasing a tiny house on wheels while searching for a permanent home in Western Massachusetts. What seemed like a simple solution quickly turned into a crash course in zoning laws, local regulations, housing culture, and the hidden realities of tiny house living. Along the way, Aimee discovered just how connected people truly are through community, support systems, and shared experiences. This episode dives into the challenges of relocating, the realities of alternative housing, and the importance of community in shaping the places we call home.
