What Is The Distinction Between Mobile, Manufactured, And Modular Housing?

Both the words "mobile home" and "manufactured home" often refer to factory-built homes. The name is the most noticeable change. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, a mobile home is one that was built before June 15, 1976, and a manufactured house is one that was built after that date.

Mobile and prefabricated homes are frequently used to:

•Constructed at a factory and delivered to the site where they are installed.

•Rather than a basement or crawlspace, it is built on a metal frame.

•Use tie downs rather than a permanent foundation.

Modular dwellings are not the same as mobile or prefabricated homes. While modular homes are also manufactured in factories, they are often supplied in two or more parts and constructed over crawlspaces or basements, similar to traditional houses. Modular dwellings are often covered by a standard homeowners insurance policy.
