Manufactured housing refers to homes that are built in a factory and then transported to a site for installation. These homes are constructed according to federal building codes set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). They can be single-section or multi-section units and are often more affordable than traditional site-built homes. Manufactured homes are typically placed in communities or on private land. They can be customized with various features and designs, making them a popular choice for many families. Additionally, they offer a quicker construction timeline compared to conventional homes, allowing for faster occupancy.
