Where To Locate

Private land

Many consumers choose to place their homes on private land. This option allows consumers land ownership, freedom and added equity in their property. It is advisable to check with local authorities before deciding to place a home to be sure that your housing choice is acceptable under local laws or if any restrictions may govern your home building decision. Depending on which type of home you choose, manufactured or modular, there may be certain restrictions. The New York Housing Association offers assistance to consumers facing zoning issues.

Land/lease communities or sub-divisions

Land-lease communities are the choice of many consumers. They offer the advantage of owning a home without many of the responsibilities and the investment of private land ownership. Many land-lease communities have amenities that enhance the home-owning experience. Land-lease communities are becoming very popular with both senior citizens and first-time homebuyers who look to keep their homeownership obligations minimal.

Sub-divisions are becoming more and more common in the modular building division of our membership. Tracts of land are divided into individual lots, by developers who build roads and infrastructure and then offer a variety of homes and styles in this established neighborhood setting.

Factory-built housing offers you not only a large choice of styles of homes but also many different location options.
