manufactured housing

Mass-produced dwelling units

Manufactured housing refers to factory-built homes constructed on a permanent chassis and transported to a site, as distinct from traditional site-built construction.

The term replaced "mobile home" in official usage after 1976 federal standards took effect, though the homes are rarely moved once placed.

The manufactured housing community has strict rules about landscaping.

The phrasing often appears in real estate and financing contexts, where such homes face different regulations than conventional houses.
