Some manufactured homes communities you lease the land and some communities you purchase the lot and home. Many visitors ask what to do for a less expensive option for retirement and I suggest they consider manufactured home communities.

Some real advantages: The real advantages of a manufactured or modular home over a site-built home is the difference in cost and time it takes to build. The cost difference is greater with manufactured homes than with modular homes, another type of manufactured home.



What are manufactured homes and how do they differ from mobile homes. It's very easy to distinguish--what they are called is determined by the date of manufacture. Older homes are called mobile homes and those manufactured after June 15, l976 are called manufactured homes--they're newer. Most communities are a combination of the two except newer communities would be all manufactured and much older communities may be all mobile--although they are disappearing as lots are upgraded with newer homes.

To cover all sources of manufactured homes communities depending on your need, review the mobile homes communities page as well as this one.
