Comparisons
Appearance issues are elusive and subjective.
Frequently, the ãappearanceâ of a home is determined by external
influences such as landscaping, sidewalks and decks. It is common
to see site-built homes constructed with identical dimensions
and floor plans, differing only in color or orientation.
When compared side-by side,
a distinction between types may be difficult to make.
The appearance of a manufactured home can be influenced by the
detail surrounding the home itself. Note the influence that
landscaping has on the overall appearance of this manufactured
home.

Modular homes are very difficult to distinguish from manufactured
homes. This modular home could easily be mistaken for either
a site-built home or a manufactured home.

Site-built homes, in an effort to achieve comparable economy,
are generally very conservative. This example of a site-built
home could be mistaken for a manufactured home.
