20 Stunning Homes You Won't Believe Are Really Converted School Buses

Houses come in many different styles, from traditional to modern, but we love the idea of thinking outside the box when it comes to our home design. We've fallen hard for all kinds of homes, including a style that looks straight out of Bedrock from The Flintstones, former churches that are now incredible homes, and ultra-modern shipping container designs. So it should be no surprise that we would be happy to take on this following style: the converted school bus home, popularly known as a skoolie. That's right ... people fully transform those big yellow buses used across the country into spectacular abodes!

In fact, Realtor showed off an incredible conversion of a 300-square-foot school bus home, even going so far as to call the place "wow-worthy." One major standout of this Arkansas home is the cost — under $50,000. So if you are looking for an awe-inspiring, unique, affordable home, this idea may be an excellent option.

According to Treehugger, these savvy homes are comfortable and sustainable since they are used as dwellings instead of being thrown in the junkyard. Many of these buses are converted to dream homes with wood flooring, cute kitchens, and bunk beds. If you're looking for inspiration for your own skoolie, keep scrolling!
