"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.
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 Santee, 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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Santee, 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.
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:
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.
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.
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 Santee, 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!
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.
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.
Are you giving serious thought to buying a manufactured home for sale in South Carolina? You're not alone - more than 365K people in the Palmetto State live in manufactured homes. At Ken-Co Homes Inc., we're not your average run-of-the-mill manufactured home dealer. We only do business with manufacturing partners committed to building top-quality products that our customers are proud to own.
If you're looking for modern amenities, energy-efficient appliances, unique floorplans, and homes constructed with quality materials, Ken-Co Homes is the company for you. Contact our office today to learn more about our beautiful Clayton homes for sale in Santee, SC.

Integrated Resource Plan Will Be Submitted to PSC May 15
MONCKS CORNER, S.C. – The Santee Cooper Board of Directors today approved the utility’s 2023 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), including a preferred energy portfolio that significantly reduces Santee Cooper’s carbon footprint and prioritizes flexibility, reliability and affordability in meeting customers’ future power needs.
The Board also approved submitting the IRP to the S.C. Public Service Commission on May 15 for the Commission to begin its review process.
The IRP summarizes 18 months of detailed analysis of various resource options and combinations to develop the preferred portfolio. Key components of that portfolio, envisioned to be implemented by the mid-2030s, include:
“South Carolina needs a modern, cleaner energy portfolio that supports South Carolina’s growing economy and growing adoption of electric vehicles and other power-dependent technologies across the state,” said President and CEO Jimmy Staton. “This portfolio provides all of that, and it equips Santee Cooper to continue to power South Carolina reliably – and affordably – for decades to come.”
The preferred portfolio includes flexibility to allow for a joint build with Dominion Energy South Carolina of a new natural gas unit, which the two utilities are exploring for potential economies of scale and other efficiencies. The preferred portfolio also can adjust as necessary to include dispatch of customer-provided resources, in particular power purchase agreements proposed by Central Electric Power Cooperative, Santee Cooper’s largest customer.
The 2023 IRP reflects input by customers and other stakeholders gathered during five public meetings, held from March 2022 to April 2023, and hundreds of comments and questions offered throughout the public input process. Additional technical meetings were also held as requested by stakeholder groups.
Santee Cooper and its expert consultants analyzed several resource portfolios, including a lowest-cost option, a no-new-carbon option, an option that retired all coal units by 2033, and a net-zero-by-2050 option. The preferred portfolio aligns closely with the lowest-cost portfolio but includes more battery storage, accelerated implementation of solar resources, and fewer gas-fired combustion turbines.
More information about Santee Cooper’s 2023 IRP is available at www.santeecooper.com/IRP, and that site will be updated once the final version is filed May 15 and throughout the regulatory review process.
Santee Cooper is South Carolina’s largest power provider, the ultimate source of electricity for 2 million people across the state, and one of America’s Best Midsize Employers as named by Forbes. Through its low-cost, reliable and environmentally responsible electricity and water services, and through innovative partnerships and initiatives that attract and retain industry and jobs, Santee Cooper helps power South Carolina.

Anyone who spends even a small amount of time in a forest or wooded area can appreciate a tree. But for those who need a gentle reminder, Arbor Day is celebrated every year on the last Friday in April. This is a day to celebrate the planting, upkeep, and conservation of our wooden friends.
Santee Cooper’s Forest Management Plan has a long history of caring for trees and wildlife. The plan includes sustainable timber harvesting, protection of soil and water quality, fish and wildlife habitat enhancement, public recreation, and forest protection. You may wonder how timber harvesting is a positive when it comes to trees. The fact is that the thinning of forests maintains healthier timber stands and enhances vegetative diversity in the understory, providing a better habitat for certain wildlife species.
Renewing portions of the forest by clearcutting and reforesting also provides a diversity of habitat across the landscape as well as insures we have a balanced age structure in our forests. Santee Cooper conducts a final harvest, or clearcut, of approximately 250 -300 acres annually and promptly reforests these sites to maintain forest productivity, filter the air and sequester carbon dioxide.
It’s also important to note that timber is the top agribusiness crop in South Carolina and forest-based businesses are the largest employment sector. This is a huge economic impact as forestry and related businesses provide a 23.2 billion dollar benefit for the state.
Santee Cooper is also big on wetland restoration efforts. When we closed the Grainger Generating Station, we planted approximately 68,000 bald cypress, swamp tupelo, and several oak species in the former Lake Busbee, effectively restoring about 180 acres of the Waccamaw River bottomland forest.
At Camp Hall we’ve already re-established approximately 280 acres of native hardwoods, allowing us to enhance a total of 1,950 acres of wetlands and uplands to offset planned impacts to 208 acres of wetlands on the site. We also planted 151,000 hardwood seedlings that included 139,000 oaks of various species, 9,000 red maple, 2,200 bald cypress, and 500 water tupelo seedlings. Next year, we will do an additional 180 acres of hardwood planting with similar species.
As far as soil and water conservation, these are primarily achieved through well-implemented forest management operations. Forest lands help watersheds by acting as a filter for them. This is especially true if they are properly managed. Areas where timber harvesting is limited or excluded are called “streamside-management zones,” and they help protect our lakes and streams by preventing erosion and sedimentation. We take water quality of the Santee Cooper lakes seriously as we provide it to 200,000 people in Berkeley, Dorchester and Orangeburg counties.

Pure Development plans to build two spec buildings equaling more than 428,00 sq. ft. of new space
CBRE has arranged the sale of two adjacent industrial development sites totaling 26.44 acres at Camp Hall in Charleston. Santee Cooper, the state-owned electric and water utility developing Camp Hall, sold the sites to Pure Development for $7.4 million.
Robert Barrineau, Brendan Redeyoff and Tim Raber of CBRE represented the seller in the transaction. Dan Camp with Santee Cooper and Adam Seger with Pure Development also worked on the deal.
Pure Development will build two speculative industrial buildings on the land located at Camp Hall Commerce Park on Electric Avenue at Campus 1, which is across from Volvo Car USA. Construction is scheduled to start in Q3 2023 and buildings to deliver Q3 2024. Lot 6 will contain a 306,280-sq.-ft. warehouse with 30 dock doors, a 32-ft. clear height, 20 trailer spaces, and 375 auto spaces. Lot 7 will have a 122,180-sq.-ft. warehouse with 13 dock doors, a 32-ft. clear height and 100 auto spaces. Both buildings are less than 2 miles to Interstate 26 and are located between major distribution and a new recycling facility at Camp Hall.
Pure Development has selected CBRE’s Bob Barrineau, Brendan Redeyoff and Tim Raber to lease the projects. The buildings will be sub-divisible down to 40,000 sq. ft., offering space options ranging from 40,000 up to 428,000 sq. ft.
“Camp Hall is one of the region’s most active industrial parks with a well-balanced roster of tenants that include automotive, EV supply chain, technology, logistics and cold storage users,” said Bob Barrineau, a Senior Vice President at CBRE. “These buildings will fill a huge demand as the Charleston industrial market continues to see record demand with historically low vacancy rates.”
“This sale brings more opportunities for economic growth in South Carolina,” said Dan Camp, Senior Director of Real Estate and Camp Hall. “We appreciate CBRE’s efforts in arranging the sale, and we welcome Pure Development to Camp Hall, a people-first, next-generation commerce park.”
“Camp Hall’s economic development success demonstrates the wise investment made by South Carolina, Berkeley County, and Santee Cooper," said Adam Seger, Principal at Pure Development.
“The U.S. manufacturing renaissance continues to attract capital expenditure tailwinds to mega-parks with infrastructure in place. Pure Development is excited to support the vision and growth ongoing at Camp Hall.”
Camp Hall industrial park provides convenient access to interstate and rail systems as well as proximity to airports and deep-water ports. The commerce park is located in Berkeley County near the Charleston area’s diverse workforce with a population of over 825,000 people.

Santee Cooper’s board approved a $23.4 billion plan May 9 to diversify and expand the utility’s sources of electricity by 2040 that includes bulking up on solar power and building a new gas-fired plant in the state, possibly with Dominion Energy as a partner.
The vote, taken during a virtual special meeting, was unanimous. The long-range proposal will be sent next week to state regulators, who are expected to issue a decision next year.
The so-called integrated resource plan is the first for Santee Cooper. The purpose is to show how the utility will meet the projected growing demand on its system and its environmental requirements or goals.
The plan, which was developed after numerous public meetings since last year, provides the “most cost-effective and least ratepayer risk,” according to Santee Cooper.
It would reduce carbon emissions by 56 percent by the mid-2030s compared to 2005 levels, partly by relying less on coal as a fuel source.
“South Carolina needs a modern, cleaner energy portfolio that supports South Carolina’s growing economy and growing adoption of electric vehicles and other power-dependent technologies across the state,” Santee Cooper CEO Jimmy Staton said.
“This portfolio provides all of that, and it equips Santee Cooper to continue to power South Carolina reliably — and affordably — for decades to come,” he added in a written statement.
The plan shows that solar generation will be ramped up to account for 28 percent of the electricity Santee Cooper produces by 2040, or enough to run 500,000 homes, up from 10 percent in 2025.
Over the same period, electricity made from burning coal would decline to 24 percent from 64 percent.
Santee Cooper also is proposing to delay the previously announced closing of the coal units at the Winyah station in Georgetown County to 2031 from late 2027. That would buy it enough time to build a replacement plant elsewhere that will run on natural gas, said Rahul Dembla, chief planning officer.
The Moncks Corner-based utility and Dominion Energy South Carolina are considering working together on that project, which is expected to be constructed at an unidentified site in Hampton County.
Battery storage technology and smaller natural gas generators also would be part of the new long-term energy mix to provide additional electricity during periods of high demand.
The plan is designed to be flexible to allow for additional capacity that Central Electric Power Cooperative — Santee Cooper’s largest customer — will bring to the system through three confidential purchase agreements with other unidentified suppliers starting in 2029.
While acknowledging some disagreements with Santee Cooper, Central CEO Rob Hochstetler said “unequivocally” his group wants to work together to ensure the state can meet its energy needs.
Central, which represents 20 electric cooperatives, endorsed the utility’s recently announced plan to buy a small power station in Gaffney for $17 million to help it meet short-term demand, he noted.
Hochstetler said his organization agrees with Santee Cooper that a new large gas-fired plant needs to be built in South Carolina and wants to be part of that discussion.
The $23.4 billion estimate is the “all-in cost over 30 years to 2052 of the integrated resource plan, including the resources and fuel,” said Mollie Gore, Santee Cooper’s communications manager. “The way we will finance the plan is through a combination of revenues collected and set aside for capital projects and bond debt.”
The utility must submit the proposal to the S.C. Public Service Commission by May 15. After a series of follow-up proceedings, the agency is expected to issue a ruling by March 8. It could approve it, deny it or request changes.
