These dwellings represent a specific segment within the manufactured housing industry. They are characterized by particular design elements, construction standards, and often, floor plans distinct from other types of prefabricated residences. Assembled in factories, these homes provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional site-built houses.
The affordability and relatively quick construction time of this type of housing offers significant advantages for prospective homeowners. Their availability has expanded housing options, particularly in areas where land costs are high or traditional construction is challenging. Historically, these homes have provided an accessible entry point to homeownership for many individuals and families.
