# First 3D Printed House Goes on Sale in United States

![The first livable 3D-printed house in the U.S. is on sale in Long Island for $300,000, considerably cheaper than its neighbors.](<https://futurism.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/3Dhouse.jpg>)

## Ground Up

For the first time, a 3D-printed house is for sale in the United States, and its fabrication process makes it a considerably cheaper purchase than its neighbors.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house is 3D-printed on-site by the company SQ4D, [which *3D Printing Media Network* reports](<https://www.3dprintingmedia.network/first-commercial-3d-printed-house-in-the-us-now-on-sale-for-300000/>) has developed an Autonomous Robotic Construction System that prints structures out of concrete. The automated process, [cheaper than conventional construction](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/3d-printer-two-story-house>), teases a future in which the price of a house stops being [so utterly unattainable](<https://futurism.com/people-love-pods-co-living-tattoos>).

## Bargain Hunting

The open-floorplan house is [listed on Zillow](<https://www.zillow.com/homes/34-Millbrook-Ln-Riverhead,-NY,-11901_rb/2075583035_zpid/>) for $299,999. That makes it considerably cheaper than neighboring homes in Riverhead, New York.

"At $299,999, this home is priced 50 percent below the cost of comparable newly-constructed homes in Riverhead, NY and represents a major step towards addressing the affordable housing crisis plaguing Long Island," Zillow agent Stephen King told *3D Printing Media Network*.

## New Outposts

For now, SQ4D is the first company to 3D print a house that's certified for occupancy in the United States, but *3D Printing Media Network* reports that it has ambitions to quickly add more.

The company reportedly has plans to build even more of these or similar houses in New York and California — suggesting a pathway for 3D printed homes to graduate from a niche oddity to a viable living situation.
