Facts and Photos

The American housing industry's greatest innovation is the introduction of rain-or-shine factory production. Apply a rigid new building code to factory-built homes and you've created the modern-day manufactured home.

Where else can you get a 2,200 square foot home with crown molding, wall-to-wall carpet, a garden tub, walk-in closets and name brand appliances in the $80,000's to $90,000's?

Plus...You're also protected by manufacturer warranties.

With today's state-of-the-art factory-built construction, you're assured of high-quality materials that are never exposed to the weather so you don't have to worry about warping or construction delays. The stringent national building code is what distinguishes today's manufactured home from its ancestor, the mobile home of the sixties and seventies.

• Consumers can order energy-efficient homes which qualify for special tax and power company incentives.
• The latest National Fire Protection Association study shows that today's manufactured homes have the same safety record as other homes.
• Today's wind safety standards have been greatly updated. Plus wind-resistant "super homes" are available statewide and are now mandatory in nine coastal SC counties.

• 355,000 SC families live in manufactured homes
  
• Today's manufactured homes appreciate in value (according to study conducted by East Carolina University)
  
• Today's manufactured homes DO NOT have any impact on adjacent property values (study conducted by University of Michigan)
