Then – as now – affordable housing was an issue.
Then as now, quality, affordable homes were needed in urban settings — not just in land-lease communities. Nor limited to scattered, rural homesites.
The home in the featured photo above was reportedly produced in Elkhart, IN. It was back in the days when Indiana was the predominate pre-HUD Code, mobile and modular home capital of the U.S.
Some 46 years after the home in this photo was built, it’s still standing tall. It looks as good or better than on-site built homes in that neighborhood built during the same era. The home stands with others as a proud part of a well-known metropolitan American city.
A local savings and loan financed these homes much like any other.
The homes gained in value, perhaps better than others.
