Mobile homes a viable alternative in rural America

Title

Mobile homes a viable alternative in rural America

Subject

rural housing, mobile homes

Description

"Mobile homes are about as satisfactory in terms of quality as conventional homes according to owners with comparable incomes. Since mobile homes are less expensive than most conventional housing, they seem assured of a market niche, especially in rural areas, which usually have fewer zoning restrictions on their use."
