What is the Difference Between Manufactured Homes and Mobile Homes?

Island in the Sun, (55+ Resident Owned Community) in Clearwater

Lot 142 - 3 bedrms, 2 baths,

Built 2007 - $69,999 (Manufactured Home)

The term Mobile Homes is often used interchangeably with the term Manufactured Homes but in fact they mean quite different things. Mobile Homes refers to homes built prior to 1976 when the HUD    (US Department of Housing and Urban Development) code governing building standards for factory-built homes was instituted, greatly improving quality standards. Homes built from that year on should, technically, no longer be referred to as Mobile Homes but instead are Manufactured Homes and are built to a higher standard of quality than yesterday's "Mobil Homes".
