manufactured homes

Built off-site residences

Manufactured homes are prefabricated housing units built in factories and transported to their sites, as distinct from homes constructed on location.

The term largely replaced "mobile homes" in official usage, though the structures are rarely moved once installed.

They're typically more affordable than site-built houses but may depreciate in value: The park has sixty manufactured homes on rented lots.
