When contemplating the family home, a manufactured – or mobile – home may not be a person’s first thought. For many years, these homes were restrictive in size and short on comfort. However, today’s double wide mobile homes are more reminiscent of custom-designed dream homes than the boxy, boring trailers of yesteryear.
Room for Everyone
Bigger isn’t always better, but for the family home? Size matters. Mobile home manufacturers are creating larger, more comfortable homes every year, and families are seeing the value of shopping with their local manufacturers rather than browsing site-built homes on the market. Available with four or more bedrooms, additional storage space, multiple bathrooms and other optional amenities, the manufactured home of the modern age are sizable enough to accommodate nearly any family situation.
Big on a Budget
The price of housing is a challenge for most. Housing costs should be thirty percent of a person’s income, and while income-based options are available, many families are in homes far too small for their size due to lack of credit or income to purchase or rent traditional houses. Manufactured homes are an excellent option for these families, as prices are not only much lower on average, but associated fees, utilities, and other costs are also more reasonable. Add to this the fact that manufactured homes afford families the luxury of a yard and private living space at a fraction of the price these things would cost in a site-built home, and double wide mobile homes become and even smarter option for the growing American family.
While mobile home manufacturers still labor to overcome the association of “trailers” with negative stereotypes, the modern, frugal family would do well to give them a chance. They just might find the home of their dreams, made to order and ready for making memories.
