Manufactured Homes (sometimes referred to as Pre-Fab Homes) are constructed inside a factory that allows for better control of building, financing costs as well as the quality and performance of the products inside the home. All Homes must meet or exceed strict federal standards set to the National Home Construction and Safety Standards, also known as the HUD Code.

Typically the homes are in planned developments where home buyers will own the home as personal property and lease a home site from a community owner.  The community owner would be responsible for maintaining the community, amenities and services.
