Here at Wild Sage in Boulder we have 3 carriage house units that were in 
the $100k range, 4 Habitat for Humanity units (which I don't know the 
price of) and and another 8 or so units in the under $250k range with 
several of these being in the $150k range.  This is out of 34 total 
units on a 1-1/3 acre urban in-fill lot.  We didn't skimp on our 5,700 
SF common house either.  This is in Boulder, one of the highest price 
real estate markets in the country.

So yes, people are doing it even in high-priced real estate markets.
