About Manufactured Homes

Manufactured homes defined:
Manufactured homes are complete homes for permanent, year-round living. They are constructed in a factory and comply with a federal building code developed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). A complete house, or sections, is then transported to where it will be permanently set.

Manufactured homes have a structural frame or chassis that supports the complete unit of walls, floor, and roof. Underneath is a running gear consisting of wheels, axles, and brakes for transportation to the home site. The running gear is removed when the home is set on a permanent foundation.

Can manufactured homes travel?
A manufactured home is different from a travel trailer, in that a trailer can be towed behind another vehicle, such as a truck or car. Manufactured homes are not built for traveling but are constructed to be a permanent residence, although they can be transported to different sites by professional movers.

Does Meridian offer manufactured homes?
Yes. Meridian offers manufactured homes in San Diego as well as modular homes.
