Fleetwood Manufactured Homes
In 1950, Fleetwood began building recreational vehicles for American families who were enjoying their new-found postwar prosperity. But it wasn't long before another need surfaced--the need for affordable homes for young couples starting families at a rate America had never seen before. Thus, Fleetwood paved the way for a whole new industry: factory-crafted residential homes. 30 Reasons to Buy a Fleetwood Home
Launched as a trailer company, Fleetwood began by creating "homes away from home" for an American public fascinated by their new ability to travel the United States by automobile.

Personalize Your Fleetwood Home
Today, Fleetwood is one of the nation's largest homebuilders, and that includes builders of both site-built and manufactured homes. But our goal is not to sell as many homes as we can. Our goal is to give you a quality home that fits your lifestyle, your personal taste, and your budget.
Maybe that's why nine out of ten Fleetwood homeowners say they would purchase a Fleetwood home again. |
A New Chapter in Home Building
Okay, so what exactly is a factory-crafted home? Each Fleetwood home is designed and built at one of the many Fleetwood Homes manufacturing centers across the United States.
Building a home in this fashion may seem odd. After all, most home buyers are used to watching the slow process of building stick by stick, brick by brick. Most home buyers are used to weather delays and skyrocketing costs. |

Factory-Crafted Construction
But a Fleetwood home is built in a controlled environment by skilled craftsmen, who show up on time every day for the sole purpose of constructing a home that not only meets the code requirements of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, but exceeds them. A home, by the way, that's scrutinized by countless inspections.
As a result, Fleetwood is able to produce one of the most consistently well-built homes available. Period. A good reason why they've been recognized and honored with the prestigious Manufacturer of the Year Award by the Manufactured Housing Institute. |
QUOTES FROM FLEETWOOD HOME OWNERS
The Wimetts love wide open spaces. That's why they chose a home site next to Flathead Lake in Montana. That's also why they chose a Fleetwood home to go on it. "We love the open floorplan," says Lisa Wimett. Husband Bob concurs: "We wanted lots of openness so we could look out and see the lake. We looked at all kinds of homes. Then we found Fleetwood." Bob and Lisa say that Fleetwood Homes also gave them the opportunity to begin enjoying their lakeside property much more quickly than a site-built home would have. So, they love openness and efficiency. Anything else? "Oh yeah," says Lisa, "I love my cupboards."

Wes, a licensed electrical contractor, explains that he and wife Beth looked at all the options, including other manufactured home builders. "For the money there was no comparison." He says he appreciates the structural integrity Fleetwood builds into its homes. But construction quality isn't the only factor he looked for. "Finish is the important thing. How it looks when it's done. And we're pretty picky people."
- Wes & Beth Gnile, Lincoln, CA
"Fleetwood Homes takes pride in the quality, construction, workmanship and warranty of their homes. Their pride became our pride when we showed and shared our new home with our family and friends."
- Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hooper, Dallas Center, IA
"Fleetwood's excellent reputation for service and warranty were the deciding factors in choosing a Fleetwood home."
- Mr. and Mrs. Paul Black, Princess Anne, MD
"We chose a Fleetwood home because we felt it was very well built, the price was right and we really liked working with the sales staff. We're so happy we went this way instead of conventional building. Thank you for making this home what it is today."
- Mr. Barry Acmoody, Cedar Ridge, CA
"The floor plan fits our lifestyle. Our home has a flexible design that we love. We almost built a site-built home. A lot of thinking went into choosing between a site-built home and our Fleetwood home. And now we couldn't be happier. We love it!"
- Mr. and Mrs. William Davenport, Troy, AL
