What is a "double wide" manufactured home?

A "double wide" manufactured home refers to a specific type of manufactured housing that is made up of two sections that are constructed separately and then transported to the site where they will be assembled. Once on-site, these two sections are joined together, creating a more spacious living area compared to a single-section home. This design allows for greater floor space and often includes additional features or amenities, making it a popular choice for those looking for an affordable housing option that offers more comfort and room compared to smaller manufactured homes or single-section models.

In contrast, single-section homes are limited to one unit and do not provide the same level of space, while the term "mobile home" refers to older styles of manufactured homes that were built before 1976 and lack the current safety standards. Additionally, homes that do not have a foundation would not align with the characteristics of a double wide, as these homes are typically established on a permanent or semi-permanent foundation for stability and durability.
