Although maligned as uniquely southern in appearance, double wide mobile homes are catching on across the nation. A quick perusal of the most popular floor plans showcases this sudden popularity is no accident.

Instead it rests on the discovery the spaciousness of double wide mobile homes accommodates even larger families in an urban environment which has become too prohibitively priced otherwise.

This opens up the discussion over the actual advantages of double wide mobile homes and three top advantages have been identified.

1. Value is at the top of the list. When compared to similar site built homes, it quickly becomes obvious the square footage of site built homes is usually actually smaller than double wide homes. In addition to the foregoing, manufactured homes are cheaper by the square foot than site built ones.

2. Layout comes in at a close second place. Since consumers get to choose the floor plan and also layout options, the homes are unique designed to fit their lifestyles. Sit built homes rely on developer floor plans.

3. Options are the third reason why double wide mobile homes are so popular. In addition to the layout and also floor plan design, the various color and materials options serve to add a touch of luxury to the overall setup of the home.

In light of these top three advantages, it is somewhat surprising not more consumers have caught on to the wisdom of investing in a double wide rather than a site built home.
