manufactured home

Built offsite residence

A manufactured home is a prefabricated dwelling built in a factory and transported to its site, as distinguished from a house constructed on location.

The term replaced "mobile home" in official usage after 1976 federal standards were established, though the structures are rarely moved once installed.

Manufactured homes are typically placed on a permanent or semi-permanent foundation and must meet specific building codes.
