Hi, We've lived in a Modular Home for over 25 years. Our manufacture is out of business now, but was one of the few that would offer modifications to the design. We got exactly what we wanted in a regular stick-built home, but for much less. The home has held up just great and we have never regretted buying it. It will be our retirement home! You may want to check zoning laws if you have property, requirements for loans; and especially insurance.
