Manufactured homes must meet HUD standards that cover design, durability, fire resistance, and energy efficiency. Placing a manufactured home requires site preparation, including utility hookups and foundation work. Mobile homes are particularly popular in rural or lower-cost housing markets in regions like Jasper.
In some rural areas, manufactured homes are exempt from certain zoning requirements. Modular construction can be adapted for various types of land, from urban lots to rural landscapes. Many modular homes qualify for green certifications due to sustainable building practices in Jasper.
