The affordability of manufactured homes is a direct result of the highly efficient building process. The controlled construction environment and assembly line techniques remove problems encountered during traditional on-site home construction, such as weather, theft, vandalism, and damage to building materials.

Much like other assembly line operations, manufactured homes benefit from the economies of scale resulting from purchasing large quantities of materials, products, and appliances. Manufactured home builders can negotiate substantial savings on many components used in building a home, and these savings are passed directly to the homebuyer. This allows a new manufactured home to cost about 50% less than a similar site-built home.

Manufactured homes often cost less than home, apartment, or condo renting and offer more square footage for the investment – along with privacy, yard space, door-side parking, and pride of ownership. This makes them a more stable, long-term option over yearly rental contracts with indiscriminate rate raises and hidden fees.

Manufactured housing communities also have the added benefit of being fully supported by community residence managers. This ensures everything around the property is well-maintained and all issues are addressed and resolved promptly.

Fun Fact: “Sense of belonging” is among the most frequent responses when residents are asked why they enjoy mobile home living.
