These dwellings represent a significant segment within the manufactured housing market, characterized by specific dimensional attributes. The “18×80” designation refers to the approximate width and length, in feet, of the structure’s footprint. This configuration typically results in a single-section home offering a substantial square footage, suitable for families or individuals desiring ample living space.
Such residences provide a cost-effective alternative to traditionally built homes, offering comparable amenities and living standards at a lower price point. Their inherent mobility allows for placement in various locations, subject to zoning regulations and community standards. Historically, these types of homes have addressed housing shortages and provided affordable options, particularly in rural areas and within planned communities.
