Actually, I will defend modular homes. They are put together in a factory and they are not exposed to the weather elements stick built homes are exposed too. I've seen several in Florida that are so nice, an average person wouldn't be able to tell the difference between modular and stick built.

but there is a big difference between "modular" and a "mobile" home. Mobile homes don't have a foundation, although they may be on a concrete slab. They usually still have the wheels or at least axles on them. A double-wide is basically a mobile that comes in two parts and they bolt them together.Modulars on the other hand can be made out of any house plan. They can be two or more floors and they are put on a foundation. They could even have a basement. Shoot, go look at the place in Hughesville next to the warehouses, two out of three of those are really nice places, not what you'd call a "trailer" at all.

You know, I notice that the stigma associated with them only exist here in this area. Other areas, it is the norm and people think nothing about buying them.
The trailer parks in Lincoln are pretty nice, at least the ones I've seen. We lived in one for awhile when I was a kid and it was like a high-end apartment complex - swimming pools, weight room, clubhouse, like that. The ones in Lex Park are pretty crummy, though.
