Manufactured vs Modular Homes
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MOBILE HOME AND MANUFACTURED HOME?
Nothing! Both refer to the same type of home. Manufactured homes come with an axle and tow bar option. An axle and tow bar option means your home can be "mobile" having both wheels and axles and a means to quickly connect and tow the home to a new location. Hence the popular term used for manufactured homes is "mobile home". The industry itself prefers to refer to it's products as "manufactured homes" as they believe this better represents the quality of today's mobile home products.
ARE MODULAR HOMES THE SAME THING AS MOBILE HOMES?
No. A modular home is manufactured in a production facility and assembled on location. The assembly process typically uses a traditional stick built home foundation (permanent). Unlike a mobile home, a modular home cannot be moved once built. These homes are treated just like a traditional home you'd buy in a neighborhood. they offer outstanding features, a huge assortment of pre-designed floor plans and their price per square foot is almost always lower than the traditional stick built home.
