Single wide manufactured homes are manufactured in a single run at the factory and then shipped to a designated location and placed on a foundation or riser. Standard single-story mobile homes measure 14 to 18 feet wide and 52 to 80 feet long.

How many rooms are in a single-wide mobile home?

Single wide manufactured homes typically have one to three bedrooms and one to two bathrooms, depending on the type of home. Single-story mobile homes are more energy efficient and less costly to maintain than larger mobile homes.

What is the life expectancy of the single wide manufactured homes?

Typically, the average lifespan of a prefabricated home is between 30 and 50 years. With that said, just like any home, there are several factors that can affect the longevity of a home. Home building codes, proper foundations, and regular maintenance can all affect the longevity of a prefab home.
