A manufactured home is part of the perfect plan for an affordable retirement home from lower costs up-front to long-term flexibility. Manufactured homes offer you a right-sized retirement with more room for fun and less of the hassles of stick-built homeownership!
Affordable Retirement Homes: Retirement Within Reach
Lower upfront costs for manufactured homes means more of your nest egg is available towards important expenses like bucket-list experiences, healthcare, and gifts for the grandkids!
Depending on your location, lot rent for a full-sized home can be much cheaper than the cost of a 1-bedroom apartment, and many of Creek Valley’s manufactured homes are move-in ready. When it comes to upkeep, the higher building standards for manufactured homes means lower overall costs when it comes to maintenance.
Convenience on Your Terms
High-quality manufactured homes are available all over Michigan, from exciting metropolitan areas to quiet rural communities. Choose a community with easy on-off access to major highways for more travel, or a location that keeps you near family at a fraction of the cost.
Whether you’re looking for proximity to an international airport, or just the nearest golf course, choosing a manufactured home in the perfect location is a recipe for ease and comfort.
Fewer Costly, Time-Consuming Chores
Manufactured homeownership means you’ll retain the stability and benefits of owning a home without the added labor of yard work, lengthy driveway shoveling, tree-trimming and more. But unlike apartment living, you’ll still have plenty of space to store recreational toys! That means you can spend more time trying new hobbies and less time dealing with the lawnmower.
A Lower Environmental Impact
A pre-owned manufactured home is the ultimate way to lower your carbon footprint and live a more environmentally-engaged life. Enjoying onsite amenities with neighbors and friends is just one way that manufactured homes are perfect for going green during your retirement! Importantly, the home’s original construction is built to very high standards, so that means lower utility costs during the summer and the winter.
Affordable Retirement Homes: The Perfect Second Home
If you’re nearing retirement or already there, you’re likely considering the best way to travel between your favorite locations. Perhaps you already have a vacation home in Florida, or Up North, and you’re spending a lot more time there. But… you’re not quite ready to sell your place in the lower peninsula because it’s close to your family and friends. A manufactured home can be the perfect option for keeping your roots, even as you branch out into other locations. When you fly in for holidays or spend a few weeks “under the bridge” in the summer, your manufactured home will be right there waiting for you, just as you left it.
Right-Sized for Retirees
Retirement often means downsizing, and that can mean a major weight off your mind! Why keep a house with empty rooms, just to host a few holidays every year? It’s time for you to enjoy freedom and convenience, and let others start to build on your traditions in their own homes. When you attend family gatherings as a guest instead of the host, you might be surprised by how much more fun you’ll have!
Flexibility for the Future
Because manufactured homes are moveable, they can go wherever retirement takes you! Whether you’re looking at land up north, or you want to move all the way to a community in Florida, the cost of moving a mobile home is much more affordable (often just a few thousand dollars) when compared with the costs of buying and selling stick-built homes. Even better, there’s no need to redecorate!
Stability Without Sacrifice
Manufactured homeownership offers the stability of having your own place, with the flexibility and freedom to travel, move your home, or purchase a second home in another location. The community atmosphere means built-in safety measures and fast-tracked friendships, while less maintenance and more convenience means a fun-filled retirement designed just for you!
