For many people, the term manufactured home still brings to mind outdated images from decades ago, and because of that, they don’t receive the fair judgment they deserve. What you may not know is that the manufactured home industry has evolved. Homes reflect quality, modern design, functionality, and affordability. If you’ve never experienced living in a manufactured home or community, it can be hard to imagine what it is really like. We hope this gives you a clearer picture of what today’s manufactured homes have to offer. 

What You Can Expect

Home Quality 

Manufactured homes are built with efficiency and sustainability in mind, using the same quality materials as site-built homes. The major difference is they are built inside a controlled factory environment, which means no weather damage, lower labor costs, and faster build times. They are also held to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) code for construction regulations and standards. This ensures homes are built to the safety standards homeowners deserve. 

Design

Today’s homes don’t have the “cookie-cutter” look. They offer a variety of architectural styles, customizable floor plans, and features so your home can reflect your lifestyle and meet your day-to-day needs. Think of features such as open-concept living, master bedrooms with spa-like bathrooms, large kitchen islands, mudrooms, smart technology, and so much more.

Affordability

Save money without having to compromise. Manufactured homes offer an affordable path to homeownership. According to the Manufactured Housing Institute, the average price of manufactured homes costs less than 1/3 of the average price of site-built homes. Therefore, you can build equity, save money, and free up your budget to enjoy the things you love.

A Community

Manufactured living is more than just a home on a lot of land. Communities offer amenities, such as fitness centers, walking trails, playgrounds, ponds, and clubhouses. These added perks and chances to connect with neighbors make everyday living something special. Plus, you can enjoy low-maintenance living. Many communities have management that takes care of things such as home repairs, snow removal, street maintenance, and other community upkeep.
