Mobile Home vs. Traditional

With all the advances in the past decade, manufactured homes now tend to look so much like traditional or stick-built homes that many people are hard pressed to tell them apart. Generally, the mobile home floor plan will be limited to one or two-section units.  In some parts of the country three and four-section units are also available.  You can even find a few two-story manufactured homes, although these are rare.

The key difference between a manufactured home and a traditional "stick built home" is that  manufactured home prices are much lower than those for stick-built homes. In addition, advances in manufactured home design often provides a more energy efficient and easily maintained home.
