Buying a new home is a big deal. For many homeowners, it's one of the most important decisions they ever make. When it comes to such a substantial choice, there are a lot of factors to consider, like:
- Q.What is the best size home for my family?
- Q.Which homes for sale near me are in my price range?
- Q.What is the best home floor plan for my needs?
- Q.What are my financing options?
Getting the answers to those questions can be hard but finding a trustworthy manufactured home company can be even more challenging.

Manufactured Homes vs. Mobile Homes: What's the Difference?
"Is there a difference between a mobile home and a manufactured home?" is one of the most common questions we get online and in person. Today, many people use mobile home and manufactured home interchangeably. That's understandable because both types of homes share similar features and benefits for homeowners. However, understanding the minor differences can be valuable when searching for a new place to call home.
What is a manufactured home?
Unlike site-built homes, manufactured homes are built in a factory. Once completed, they're shipped to a specific location where the homeowner will live. The term "manufactured home" refers to any factory-built home constructed after June 15, 1976. That date is when the HUD or U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development implemented guidelines centered around manufactured home construction.
HUD code requires manufactured homes to be constructed on a base frame with wheels with a minimum of 320 square feet.
Thanks to fast build times and lower material costs, manufactured homes for sale in Ashland, SC is often more cost-effective for home buyers. Compared to traditional site-built homes, many manufactured homes can be up to 35% less than more traditional houses.
What is a mobile home?
Any mobile homes built after June 15, 1976, are considered manufactured homes today, though many people use the term mobile home casually. In the past, these homes were used to travel and were more like the expensive RVs that people use today than true manufactured homes. Back then, mobile homes received a bad reputation due to poor build quality, but they've come a long way since that time. Today, mobile homes are safe, comfortable, and structurally sound, with many types of amenities and floor plans.

Benefits of Buying a Manufactured Home
Manufactured homes are more popular in the U.S. than ever, and for good reason: prospective homeowners are looking for affordable, quality alternatives to traditional homes. That's especially true today, with inflation on the rise, necessitating more budget-friendly options for anyone who wants to put a roof over their heads.
If you're used to living in a traditional, site-built home, you may be wondering what the advantages are of buying a manufactured home. Here are just a few of the most common benefits of buying a manufactured home:
Ask Us Anything
843-394-2613
Affordable Prices
When you boil it down to the basics, buying a new home is all about the money. One of the most attractive reasons for buying a manufactured home is that they are often much less expensive than traditional site-built homes. Today, manufactured housing is considered a crucial part of the housing shortage solution and a viable option with inflation rising. According to statistics, the average square-foot cost of a site-built home is $107, while the average price is only $49 in a manufactured home. Whether you're sticking to a strict budget or your finances have changed due to poor economic conditions, going manufactured might be your best choice.
Versatile Living Options
Owning a manufactured home gives the homeowner long-term living options. Because basic manufactured homes are usually very affordable, families with enough land can start with a small home and add additional units as their needs change. Manufactured homes are also great as starter homes, especially for families that plan on building a permanent structure on their land in the future. Though it could be logistically challenging, manufactured homes can also be moved to a different site if the initial one was on rented property.
Code-Mandated Structural Integrity
Manufactured homes have received a bad rap over the last few decades. In reality, most manufactured homes are purpose-built for longevity with structural integrity. Every manufactured home built today is subject to the HUD code adopted in 1976. This code is the only federally-mandated code in existence. It was designed to ensure that manufactured homes meet strict standards regarding fire safety, structural design, energy efficiency, transportation to home sites, and overall construction. All manufactured homes sold in the U.S. have a permanent red seal to confirm they meet HUD standards.
Quick Construction and Installation
When you buy a manufactured home, you may be able to move in faster than you would via traditional routes. Some manufactured homes are even move-in ready in less than 45 days. Compared to a traditional home, once a new manufactured home is built in the factory, buyers usually find that installation is a quick process. Once the manufactured home is delivered, utility work usually moves quickly, regardless of whether you're moving to a park or transporting your home to a piece of land. Before you know it, you're eating, sleeping, and enjoying life in your new manufactured home.
Better Energy Efficiency
When asked about the pros and cons, many buyers cite energy efficiency as one of the most significant benefits of owning a manufactured home. In general, manufactured housing is more energy efficient than traditional because HUD mandates ensure that homes have high energy efficiency ratings.
These ratings are achieved through upgraded insulation installation, on-demand water heaters, and energy-efficient windows. These upgrades often make entire manufactured homes Energy Star certified. It's no surprise that manufactured homes are 27% more efficient than they used to be with other additions like energy-saving appliances in kitchens and bathrooms.
Less Noise
If you've ever lived in an apartment complex before, chances are you heard sounds and noises through your walls that you never wanted to hear. If you hate hearing your neighbors and despise thin walls, looking for mobile home sales in Ashland, SC is a great idea. Why? Manufactured homes are typically built using separate modules, which reduces sound transference from room to room. When two or more modules are combined and insulated separately, buyers enjoy an even quieter, stronger home with less outside noise.
Debunking Common Manufactured Home Myths
If there's one disappointing aspect of manufactured homes, the stigma seems to surround them. Yes, mobile homes from 30 or more years ago aren't exactly marvels of construction and deserve to be criticized. However, modern manufactured homes are cut from a different cloth and are often every bit as safe and luxurious as site-built homes.
Here are some of the most common (and annoying) mobile home myths debunked:
Manufactured Homes Aren't Safe
Modern manufactured homes are factory-built homes crafted with quality materials that meet comprehensive federal construction and safety standards. These standards, called the "HUD Code," outline how the homes must be built, including safety guidelines. For example, manufactured home builders must take strict measures to ensure their homes are resistant to wind. In terms of hurricanes and tornados, having such measures in place can prevent a tragedy from happening.
The bottom line is that manufactured homes are plenty safe and provide a quality product to people who want a lower-cost option over traditional housing.
Manufactured Homes are Low-Quality Compared to Site-Built Homes
One of the most repeated myths surrounding manufactured homes is that they are in poor shape and have an overall poor quality. Today, many manufactured homes are built with quality materials and care. It's not unusual to find a manufactured home with luxurious amenities and features lie state-of-the-art kitchens, high-end appliances, and chic open floor plans. At Ken-Co Homes, we can provide you with a complete list of available upgrades and amenities for you to enjoy in your new home.
There Aren't Any Manufactured Homes Available
Perhaps it's due to their popularity and lower prices, but we often hear that it's hard to find manufactured homes for sale. As seasoned home dealers, we can say this is categorically false. Whether you head over to Google and search for "mobile homes near me in Ashland, SC," or simply head to Ken-Co Homes' website, you'll see plenty of homes to choose from. Contact our office today for a full list of our homes for sale!
Manufactured Homes Are Getting Too Expensive
When it comes to home prices in today's day and age, manufactured homes are among the most affordable options available.
That's because manufactured homes cost less to construct than site-built homes, with the average price costing $92K for new construction and $60K for a pre-owned manufactured home, according to recent data. The cost of a traditional home is much higher, with an average of $408K, according to Statista data from 2021. Even though manufactured home living costs change depending on the community, they're often much less expensive than their site-built cousins in the long run.
It's Not Safe to Live in a Manufactured Home Park
This myth parallels the stereotype that manufactured homes are cheap and poorly built. Unfortunately, many people still believe that living in a manufactured home community isn't safe. They think that the parks are run down and riddled with reprobates. In reality, many manufactured home parks mimic gated communities with 24-hour security and mandated quiet hours. Some manufactured home neighborhoods even offer community-wide amenities like spas and pools. If you're a fan of the gated community lifestyle but don't want to pay hundreds of thousands for a site-built home, a manufactured home community could be your best bet.

Ashland Craft is the 'Travelin' Kind' who has learned lessons on road to success
Marcus K. Dowlinghttps://www.tennessean.com/story/entertainment/2022/10/12/ashland-craft-travelin-kind-opener-marcus-king/69527212007/

"...
Marcus King recently headlined the Ryman Auditorium. His opener, Ashland Craft, grew up 20 minutes away from him in Piedmont, South Carolina.
Though they never crossed life paths until pairing for the 2021 release of "Highway Like Me," they share the same roots in bluesy, classic rock-fueled, honky-tonk beloved music that bleeds with authentic country informed by the genre's folksy roots in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
"Ashland needs a guitar and her voice, not even a microphone," King says. "She's quite possibly my favorite modern country vocalist."
King's love of Craft's voice is a profound statement. The Grammy-nominated Greenville, South Carolina, native has spent much of the past three years opening for Chris Stapleton. He also cites Duane Allman, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Albert King and B.B. King as influences.
To make a simple allegory, Craft's 13-month-old album "Travelin' Kind" gave a growing multitude of predominantly female country music fans an unexpected introduction to a blend of bittersweet psychedelic blues and warm folk rock that aims to fall somewhere between Janis Joplin and Bonnie Raitt.
In March, Craft joined Hardy onstage at Bridgestone Arena to sing Lauren Alaina's vocal parts on Billboard No. 1 hit "One Beer." Six months later, she's at the Ryman, backstage, fresh from opening for King and seated under a portrait of Hank Williams.
The road from her wild roots playing in the house band at Wendell's Dippin Branch bar in Anderson, South Carolina, to country music's Mother Church resonates differently when Craft realizes she's literally sitting under Williams.
"Getting people to care about the music, just like Hank, that's the 'Honkytonk Blues,' I guess," she says.
Though she's sitting in one of music's most legendary venues, some things have changed for her since leaving South Carolina, including success on "The Voice" five years ago and signing with Big Loud Records in 2020.
She's cognizant now of the resilience borne of surviving the "hustle and bustle" of frequent touring that's required to excel in mainstream country music.
Craft is at her most comfortable on the road creating as many organic connections as possible to songs like "I Smoke Weed," her jaunty, sing-a-long Hixtape collaboration with "musical heroes" the Brothers Osborne, as well as the lovelorn ballad "Make It Past Georgia."
Love for the latter is "exactly what I wanted," she says. The ballad tells a bittersweet tale of the constant heartbreak associated with balancing musical aspirations, the need for love, and the inability to accept the frailties of potential partners.
"Sometimes, great guys can't get themselves together long enough to be in a long-term relationship," says Craft. "Relationships still teach life lessons, though. Life is a road map; sometimes you want to turn back around and think you can't make it past someone, but you do."
She describes her live set as fun and interactive, which has yielded what she describes as a "fruitful outcome" in the form of a significant boost in social media fandom and streaming plays. In addition, a song like the album cut "Leaving You Again" has grown in popularity because it is one of her favorites to play live.
"When I sing ['Leaving You Again'] live, it speaks well to my story and showcases my musical inspirations," she says. "I'm thankful for how it's connected with the fans and gave them a greater sense of what I want to contribute to country music."
Craft's desire to mimic Joplin's willingness to "be herself and live life freely" takes greater shape before she hits the stage at the Ryman. Late on a Friday afternoon at East Nashville's Black Shag Vintage clothier, the singer-songwriter is surrounded by fringed stage wear, bold turquoise and silver squash blossom necklaces, vintage silver rings, leather cowboy boots, and other remnants of yesteryear.
But Craft is picking through vintage patches.
"I want to wear these pants onstage that have patches everywhere," she says.
Having seen success with her debut album, she's primarily begun figuring out her sound. Now, feeling more secure in herself as a mainstream artist on the rise, she's slowly putting together her onstage presentation. She's a mess of constant giggles and smiles while trying on a tiger-striped '80s shoulder-padded blouse, and her jaw dropped when examining a pair of multicolored, 60-year-old, custom-made, stacked-heel boots.
"Gosh, I love those, but I played softball in high school," she says. "My calves are still all muscle. There's no way they'll fit."
She's at a place as an artist and creator where first-world problems solved by whimsical happenstance are as commonplace as hard questions of how to make enough time off the road to write or record material while also doing multiple loads of laundry.
But, she notes, as long as she keeps things simple, she'll excel.
Craft will be an artist whose success – much like King's – will likely come from crafting albums able to withstand innumerable live gigs and festival performances in front of a dizzyingly diverse array of fans.
Preparing to head back into the studio for album No. 2 this winter, she's evolved her thinking about how she will excel as a potential star.
"It's not about singing the highest, biggest notes anymore," she says. "I have to deliver the best performance possible nightly. Being conscious about how I write and record this album is very important, and I intend to do that.
"I'm just a girl who loves the simple things in life and wants to use my musical career to strive to be a better person."

‘The Game’ has been going on for more than 100 years. Considered one of the oldest rivalries in college football, Randolph-Macon College will visit Prince Edward County this weekend, as the Yellow Jackets take on Hampden-Sydney College (H-SC).
This year, it’s a battle of two teams on the rise. The host Tigers are 5-4 overall, 4-2 (T-3rd) in the ODAC. Meanwhile, the visiting Yellow Jackets are unbeaten at 9-0 overall, 6-0 (1st) in the ODAC. It’s the 127th edition of ‘The Game’ as well as Senior Day for Hampden-Sydney. This is a game still considered the Oldest Small School Rivalry in the South.
It’s also a chance to bounce back for the Tigers. Hampden-Sydney is coming off a 23-7 loss on the road at Shenandoah University Nov. 5. R-MC enjoyed a 52-10 home win past Ferrum College on Nov. 5 in Ashland, the ninth consecutive win by the Yellow Jackets this season. It’s also Senior Day for H-SC and 14 outstanding young men will be recognized during a special pregame ceremony.
H-SC leads the all-time series against R-MC, 60-55-11. The Yellow Jackets, however, have won eight-straight and 10 of the last 11 games played between the two storied programs, including a 37-14 home win past the Tigers last Nov. 13, 2021 in Ashland.
H-SC is 10-12 against R-MC under 23rd-year head coach Marty Favret, who won nine of the first 11 games he coached in the rivalry — including seven-straight wins from 2001-07. The Tigers’ last win in the series was in 2013, a 28-26 road win in Ashland, while H-SC’s last home win in the series was in 2010, a 31-28 victory at Everett Stadium.
The archrivals first met on the gridiron in 1893, as R-MC won that first meeting, 12-6, in the Tigers’ second year as a program. H-SC, however, returned the favor in 1896 with a 24-0 shutout victory.
The longest win-streak in the series is eight, accomplished by each team once: first by H-SC from 1917-23, while playing twice during both 1917 and 1919, and currently by R-MC since 2014.
H-SC has the fifth-ranked passing offense in NCAA Division III (325.9), and is led offensively by fifth-year quarterback and second-year team captain Tanner Bernard. Bernard has passed for 2,283 yards (184-279-3) and 20 touchdowns in seven games, adding three touchdowns on the ground, as well. Bernard did not play vs. Greensboro (9/17) or Shenandoah (11/5), and was out for the second half vs. Guilford (10/29), all due to injury. Junior quarterback Andrew Puccinelli has passed for 646 yards (66-94-2) and six touchdowns in three games, adding one touchdown on the ground.
The running game features junior running back Melik Frost, who has rushed for 852 yards on 188 attempts (4.5) and 11 touchdowns, adding 236 yards receiving on 25 catches and one touchdown.
Sophomore wide receiver Austin Fernandez has led the receiving unit with 769 yards receiving on 59 receptions and six touchdowns. Freshman wide receiver Mason Cunningham adds 618 yards receiving on 53 receptions and six touchdowns, while senior tight end David Byler has 525 yards receiving on 47 catches and six touchdowns, and junior wide receiver Jamahdia Whitby has 303 yards receiving on 26 catches and six touchdowns.
Junior safety Will Pickren leads the Tigers on defense with 108 total tackles, including five tackles for loss, two interceptions, one forced fumble, three pass breakups, one quarterback hurry and one blocked PAT kick. Junior safety James-Ryan Salvi has 80 total tackles, including 0.5 tackles for loss, one fumble recovery and seven pass breakups. Also, junior linebackers Dorian Green and Jaylin Jones add 58 and 54 total tackles, respectively, including 7.5 tackles for loss, four sacks, two interceptions, two pass breakups and three quarterback hurries by Green, and 4.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, one pass breakup and one quarterback hurry by Jones.
R-MC has the 10th-ranked rushing offense in Division III (264.3), and is expected to be led offensively by junior quarterback Drew Campanale, senior quarterback Andrew Ihle, senior running back Nick Hale, junior running back Kwesi Clarke, along with senior wide receiver David Wallis.
Campanale has passed for 1,812 yards (122-152-2) and 19 touchdowns, adding four touchdowns on the ground, as well, while Ihle has passed for 145 yards (10-15-0) and one touchdown, adding 358 yards rushing on 63 attempts (5.7) and 12 touchdowns on the ground. Hale has rushed for 572 yards on 98 attempts (5.8) and eight touchdowns, while Clarke has rushed for 736 yards on 108 attempts (6.8) and six touchdowns. Wallis has 880 yards receiving on 34 receptions and 10 touchdowns.
Senior safety Cade Jones has led the Yellow Jackets on defense with 42 total tackles, including one tackle for loss, two interceptions and five pass breakups. Junior linebacker Jackson Deaver has 35 total tackles, including six tackles for loss, three sacks and one pass breakup.
‘The Game’ will take place this Saturday, Nov. 12 at 1 p.m. on Fulton Field at Lewis C. Everett Stadium.
The regular season finale can be heard locally on WVHL, Kickin’ Country 92.9 FM and will also be available worldwide on the Internet at wvhl.net or via the TuneIn Radio App, while available to watch as well on the Tiger Sports Network live video stream at hscathletics.com, pregame airing at 12:30 p.m.

H-SC is back on the road in week seven at Averett University on Saturday, Oct. 14, at 4 p.m. in Danville. The Cougars finished 2022 at 3-7 overall, 1-6 in the ODAC, including a 37-26 road loss at H-SC last Oct. 15.

H-SC is back on the road in week nine at ODAC member Guilford (NC) College on Saturday, Oct. 28, at 1 p.m. in Greensboro. The Quakers finished 2022 at 2-8 overall, 1-6 in the ODAC, including a 28-21 road loss at H-SC last Oct. 29.
The Tigers are back at home in week 10 against ODAC member Shenandoah University on Saturday, November 4, at 1 p.m. on Senior Day at Everett Stadium. The Hornets finished 2022 at 8-2 overall, 5-2 in the ODAC, including a 23-7 home win past H-SC last Nov. 5.
H-SC is on the road in week 11 to complete the regular season at ODAC member and archrival Randolph-Macon in the 128th Edition of “The Game” on Veterans Day, Saturday, Nov. 11, at 1 p.m. in Ashland. The defending conference champion Yellow Jackets finished 2022 at 11-1 overall, 7-0 in the ODAC, including a 38-17 road win at H-SC last Nov. 12. The Tigers, however, continue to lead the Oldest Small School Rivalry in the South, 60-56-11, though R-MC has now won nine-straight and 11 of the last 12 games played between the two storied programs. The Garnet and Grey’s last win in the series was in 2013, a 28-26 road win in Ashland.
LOOKING AT LAST YEAR’S RECORD
H-SC completed 2022 at 5-5 overall, 4-3 in the ODAC to finish fourth among eight teams. The Tigers enjoyed a four-game winning streak during a successful stretch of the season that included five wins in six games. Coach Favret now totals 145 football coaching wins in 23 seasons, becoming the all-time winningest football coach at the College with the thrilling OT road win at W&L last fall. The current longest-tenured collegiate head coach in Virginia, he has an overall record of 145-86, including 95-51 in the ODAC.

Internationals Soccer Club has announced class of 2022 college commitments for 17 female players.
Additional Internationals SC players are still uncommitted and are expected to announce their decisions in the coming weeks and months.

The past 12 months have been a whirlwind for Ashland Craft, the singer from Piedmont who finished in the top 10 last year on “The Voice.”
It’s been just over a year since Craft’s final appearance on Miley Cyrus’ team on “The Voice.” Over the course of her time on the NBC competition, Craft wowed the judges with performances of songs like “Delta Dawn” and “I Hate Myself for Loving You.”
Since then, Craft has performed all over the Southeast, including several shows at Ole Red, the Nashville bar owned by Blake Shelton, who tried to convince Craft to join his team during her first appearances on “The Voice.”
“It’s definitely been a lot busier than I was used to, for sure,” Craft said in a recent phone interview. “We’ve gotten a lot more, I guess, notoriety throughout the Upstate. Pretty much anywhere I go now, I take a picture with somebody, which is pretty cool. That’s never happened to me before. But I’m not complaining; it’s something I wanted. That was my main goal out of the shows. I definitely got publicity from it.”
On Craft’s agenda for the new year is a permanent move to Nashville, which she predicts will be a “whole new adventure in itself.”
She’s made several trips to Nashville with her drummer and bass player in recent months to write songs, but Craft said she doesn’t have a concrete plan for what she’ll be doing in Nashville other than trying to make new connections.
“We’ll actually still be gigging like normal, like we do here; it’ll just be traveling from Nashville rather than home. There’s probably much more that the whole journey entails, but it’s just a matter of getting there and seeing what happens,” Craft said.
Since finishing up her stint on “The Voice,” Craft said she’s worked on fine-tuning her style and “branding myself as an artist.”
Her sound has evolved as Craft has moved closer to a country-rock flavor, rather than a straight-up country style. It’s all about finding the right musical balance, she said.
Her time on “The Voice” had a significant impact on her stage presence, Craft said.
“Before I did the show, I was pretty much alone. I didn’t have a band with me. So I kind of hid behind my guitar, and that was all I did. But now I think shows are a lot more entertaining because I’m up there, I’m actually having fun and moving around,” she said. “I’m not playing guitar now. I think it really helped with my stage presence, just loosening up on stage and not taking everything so seriously for once. It’s made me enjoy being a musician a little bit more now that I don’t have as much pressure on me.”
But one of her favorite parts of the experience was the lasting friendships she forged with fellow contestants.
“I made some of the closest friends that I still talk to every other week or so, which is the coolest thing. We all are each other’s support system, still, a year after being together on the show. … I can reach out to any of them, and I know they’ll give me some encouragement and give me advice if I need it. And I think honestly, that’s been the most important thing to me that I took away from the show,” Craft said.
Fans can find Craft’s music on Spotify and iTunes, and she’s hoping to release some new music in the near future.

Craft is mostly off the road for the holiday season, but she will perform in Greenwood at a Make-A-Wish Foundation benefit concert with Edwin McCain in January.
She says she’s excited to see what next year brings.
“I would say that 2019 is going to be a really big year. I’ve had some opportunities presented to me that I’m really hoping take off. … I would say thank you to everybody in the Upstate for the support. It’s been a huge help in all of this.”
