Comparison

Manufactured Homes vs. Site-Built Homes

The same quality – for less!

Today’s manufactured homes meet or exceed the same United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) national building codes as site-built homes, but because you lease the land on which your home sits, you enjoy an average 20% savings on the purchase price and significant annual property tax savings.

A manufactured home or system-built home is assembled at the factory and transported in one or more sections to the desired home site. Quality control, factory inspections and ideal building conditions ensure that every manufactured home is constructed to the highest standards.
