Manufactured homes are factory-built residences that are constructed in sections and then transported to a designated site. They are designed to meet specific building codes and standards, which can vary by location. These homes are often more affordable than traditional site-built homes, making them an attractive option for many buyers. Unlike mobile homes, which were built before 1976 and often do not meet modern safety standards, manufactured homes are built to the HUD Code, ensuring quality and safety. They can be placed on permanent foundations and come in various styles and sizes, offering flexibility for different lifestyles and budgets.
