The Manufactured Home Industry
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages. There is no doubt that
the manufactured housing industry has come a long way since the
prefabricated homes of the 1950's and 1960's, commonly referred
to as 'trailer houses.' Fighting to overcome a dubious image,
the contemporary modular housing concept of today is one of
beauty, stability, and affordability. While this industry has
literally remade itself from the ground up, it still carries with
it a social stigma of the days gone by. That of the old time
trailer parks, and the type of people who inhabit them. This
paper will serve to focus on the facts of the industry today and
enlighten the reader as to what it means to own a modular home in
these times. No longer the eyesore of yesteryear, the modular
homes have improved light years over their historic original
counterparts; but the public image is having trouble keeping up.
Bibliography lists 6 sources.
