Factory-controlled environments reduce unexpected costs during construction. There’s a growing resale market for well-maintained mobile homes, especially in high-cost areas. Modular homes are increasingly popular, especially in high-demand areas with limited housing. Once on-site, modular homes undergo local inspections to ensure compliance with local building codes.
Some businesses offer land and development services, bundling land purchase with modular construction in areas like Chillicothe. Some nonprofit groups and cooperatives offer affordable mobile home living in organized communities around Chillicothe.
