Common Modular Home Styles
Ranch Homes I Two Story Homes I Cape Cods I Multi-Family and Commercial I Tiny Homes I Custom Floor Plans
“One of the initial steps in modular construction is selecting a layout that suits your lifestyle. Ranch homes provide a low-maintenance, accessible open floor plan. Conversely, two-story designs are ideal for maximizing space on smaller lots, typically placing all bedrooms on the upper floor. Cape Cod modular homes offer a hybrid approach, featuring steeply pitched roofs with the potential for expansion on a second floor.”
Ranch (Single-Story): The most popular modular style, featuring all living space on one level. These often include open-concept gathering areas, eat-in kitchens with islands, and split-bedroom layouts for privacy.
Two-Story: Ideal for larger families or smaller lots, these homes separate public gathering areas on the first floor from private bedrooms on the second. Two story modular homes are highly customizable homes..
Cape Cod: Known for steeply pitched roofs and charming dormers. These plans often include a finished first floor with an optional unfinished second story or attic that can be completed later for more space.
