Most Desirable Features of Manufactured Homes in 2021

Manufactured homes have come a long way. Gone are the days when they were considered cramped, unstable, and flimsy structures that could not stand the test of time. In 2021, manufactured homes are one of the easiest and most affordable ways to realize the great American Dream of homeownership. 


However, before they can be declared habitable, all manufactured homes must meet certain quality standards. Inspectors must check them to ensure that the house is safe for its residents to live in.


Given their growing popularity and demand, mobile home manufacturers are now putting more time and effort into improving their quality. Today’s manufactured homes are on par with every luxury home. They are outfitted with all of the amenities needed to live a comfortable life.


Are you planning on buying a manufactured home in Central Alabama or the surrounding area? Here are some of the most in-demand modern features of manufactured homes that you should consider. 


Energy Efficiency

Modern manufactured homes are not only comparable to traditional homes in terms of quality, but also in terms of energy efficiency. In the 1990s, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) passed a mandate stating that the energy efficiency of manufactured homes should be increased. Thus, manufactured homes today meet the energy-efficient federal rating standards and use less energy. 


What does this mean for you? For one, you will save hundreds (or maybe even thousands) of dollars on utility bills if you own a manufactured home. If you buy an Energy Star-rated manufactured home, it will even allow more temperature consistency. This is one of the biggest benefits of manufactured homes.  


Luxurious Bath and Kitchen

Bathrooms and kitchens are deciding factors for people looking for a new home. Bathrooms and kitchens that are modern and fully functional add value to a home. The good news is that this feature is pretty much standard on all modern manufactured homes.


Homebuyers appreciate that manufactured homes feature high-end, spacious kitchens despite considering their unconventional appeal. They have granite countertops, contemporary fixtures, energy-efficient appliances, and an upscale appearance. Similarly, spa-like features such as rain showers and garden tubs are also available in bathrooms in a manufactured home. Homeowners can have the finest kitchens and bathrooms for relatively low costs.


Spacious Floor Plans

Yes, people can live in a manufactured home without feeling claustrophobic. What makes these homes even more popular is that there are 1,500 sq. ft. of space for people to live and work in. 


Besides, they have sleek open concept floor plans wherein the spaces seamlessly flow from one to the other. This makes manufactured homes look spacious and bright. They also allow ample natural light and have higher ceilings. So, people living here often forget that they are not living in a stick-built home.
