What is Manufactured Housing?

Manufactured homes are built in factories and then transported to their designated sites. Unlike traditional homes, they are built entirely in controlled factory environments under the guidelines of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). By opting for manufactured housing, you unlock a plethora of advantages. These homes are notably more affordable and energy-efficient compared to traditional homes. The manufacturing process also ensures timely construction without weather-related delays, and offers an array of customization options, allowing you to tailor your home to your unique tastes and requirements.
