So what is a Manufactured Home?
The term “Manufactured Home” specifically refers to a home built entirely in a protected environment under a federal code established by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Manufactured Homes are NOT Mobile Homes. The term “Mobile Home” describes factory-built homes produced prior to the June, 1976 HUD Code enactment. The HUD code requires each Manufactured Home to meet the following requirements:
- Built as a one, two or three section home in an environmentally controlled center which is then transported to the home site on a frame.
- Meets the strict HUD code for design and construction, durability and strength, fire resistance, transportability, energy efficiency and quality.
- Built on steel beams with wheels under each section.
- Meets the high standards for heating, plumbing, air conditioning and thermal and electrical systems performance.
- Passes stringent third party inspections.
Today’s Manufactured Homes are built with the same materials as site-built homes, but in a controlled factory environment using the latest in computer-assisted design. They come with “standard” features that you would find in a site-built home and today’s manufacturers offer a variety of floor plans and designs which can include vaulted ceilings, state-of-the art kitchens, fireplaces, master suites, walk-in closets, and bathrooms with recessed bathtubs and whirlpools. Your Manufactured Home can be completely customized to fit your lifestyle and budget.
What are the advantages of purchasing a Manufactured Home?
Manufactured Homes can deliver outstanding quality and performance at 10 to 35 percent less per square foot than conventional site-built homes. Manufactured Homes offer all the quality and amenities you want at a price you can afford. Manufactured homes are the only housing in America built to a national building code. Because manufacturers use the latest in computer-assisted design, you have the flexibility of customizing your home’s floor plans, interior finishes, and exterior designs. Your lifestyle and your budget are the only limitations to the options available to you.
