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 Sardis, 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 Sardis, 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 Sardis, 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.

Chris Lincoln
After graduating from the University of Missouri and writing for the Columbia Daily Tribune, Lincoln became the sports director at KTUL TV in Tulsa, where he hosted coaches shows for OU, Oklahoma State, Oral Roberts and Tulsa. He left the station in 1981 and co-founded Winner Communications, which went on to become the nation’s largest independently owned sports production company. Winnercomm was sold in 2006, and Lincoln returned to KTUL and worked there from 2007-14.
Brent Price
The former Enid star played in the NBA from 1992-2002 after being selected by the Washington Bullets in the second round with the 32nd overall pick. A point guard, Price was a member of the Bullets, Houston Rockets, Vancouver Grizzlies and Sacramento Kings. Price spent his first two years of college at South Carolina, then transferred to OU. He was a first-team All-Big Eight selection in 1992 and averaged 18.7 points and 6.2 assists per game with the Sooners. Price is the younger brother of four-time NBA All-Star Mark Price.
James Trapp
Trapp attended Lawton High before graduating and heading to Clemson, where he was a football and track star. Trapp was a 14-time ACC Champion and 10-time All-American sprinter in college. He was the 200-meter indoor national champion in 1992 and a four-year letterman in football. The Los Angeles Raiders selected him in the 1993 NFL Draft, and he spent six seasons with the franchise. He played for the Baltimore Ravens from 1999-2002 and was a part of their 2000 team that won the Super Bowl. His list of accolades in track include a 200-meter title at the 1993 World Athletics Indoor Championships. He was also an alternate on Team USA’s 4x100-meter relay squad in the 1992 Olympics.
Seymour Williams
Williams is being inducted posthumously. He was Tulsa Booker T. Washington’s football, basketball and track coach during the era of segregation. In football, he led the Hornets to 19 state titles and 14 undefeated seasons in the Oklahoma Interscholastic Athletic Association. He took over in 1920 and had a 290-23-11 record, retiring after 33 years. Williams also helped the school’s basketball program claim 13 state titles and five national championships. The track program won six national titles under Williams.

Michelle Memran and Steve Ross were honored for their leadership in arts at the annual “Encore Ovation” fall benefit supporting services for older adults.
On Monday, November 21st Encore Community Services hosted "Encore Ovation: A Celebration of Aging Through Art" at theater district institution Sardi's. Encore is a nonprofit network of older adult services, meal, and housing providers on the West Side of Manhattan.
The event raised funds for the organization's programming and promoted awareness of the healing power the arts have on aging. Honorees Steve Ross and Michelle Memran were recognized for exemplifying and amplifying this theme through their artistic careers.
Master of Ceremonies Marta Sanders kicked off the evening with an exuberant rendition of Young at Heart. Encore Board Member Kendall Messick welcomed all and shared that after working with the organization for 20 years "my passion for this event comes from seeing aging people come alive through creativity. This is an event that comes from the heart, and all Encore is from the heart."
Encore Executive Director Jeremy Kaplan spoke on the importance of Encore's mission. "New Yorkers 65 and up are the fastest growing group in New York. We have to help celebrate the power of creativity throughout our lives. Tonight, we are thrilled to be honoring two outstanding artists, Michelle Memran and Steve Ross."
Michelle Memran, writer, reporter, visual artist, and award-winning documentary filmmaker, received the inaugural Paul Lucas Artistic Spirit Award-presented by Encore to an individual who champions those who may be overlooked. Her documentary "The Rest I Make Up," chronicles the story of Cuban-American playwright Maria Irene Fornes living a creative life while struggling with Alzheimer's.
Steve Ross received the Fr. George Moore Artistic Impact Award for his significant artistic contribution to the Manhattan cabaret community for over 40 years. He is an award-winning international cabaret icon, singer, songwriter, and pianist, and a beloved figure who creates unforgettable moments through the songs of composers such as Gershwin, Porter, and Irving Berlin.
The evening included a host of joyous performances including by Steve Ross and Marta Sanders, and Encore members Cary Gibbs singing Come Fly with Me, Rhonda Williams singing an original composition My Best Friend is Within Me, Nancy Moore inspiring a sing-a-long with her rendition of the classic, Downtown, and a reading of 5-Cab Driver from Encore's Creative Writing Group book by Peter Linari.

About ENCORE Community Services: The mission of Encore Community Services is to provide care and service to the elderly of the Clinton/Times Square/Midtown communities, and to any elderly person who comes to us; to assist those who are vulnerable and frail, poor and homeless, homebound and lonely, frequently desperate, most often ignored; to help them with their daily needs that they might live as independently as possible, with dignity and decency, in a non-institutional manner, in a safe and caring environment. We believe we are all part of the human family and have an obligation to love one another. By nurturing, respecting and enabling, Encore hopes to improve the quality of an older person's life, in an approach that emanates from the core of Encore's commitment: we believe that what we do comes from the heart, and the heart is the center of all.
