Edmonton’s Best Manufactured Home Communities: Spruce Grove

Manufactured homes are rapidly becoming the go-to choice among Edmonton home buyers, and not just because they represent some of the most affordable homes for sale on the Edmonton market. Following their ultra-low-price tag, these models are highly sought after due to the unique community atmosphere they provide – an atmosphere you’ll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else.

Located in nearly every quadrant of the city, these one-of-a-kind neighbourhoods can be found throughout the capital region, each celebrated for its accessible location, distinct community features, and budget-friendly homes.

Single and Double-Wide Layouts – Depending on what you’re looking for, manufactured homes may offer up to 2,000+ square feet of living space. Double-wide models are great for families looking for room to grow. Single-wide units (up to 1,200 square feet) are popular among first-time buyers and downsizers.

Multiple Bedrooms and Bathrooms – Manufactured homes provide an average of three bedrooms and bathrooms. These include private master suites (a must for today’s modern buyer) and generous secondary bedrooms. Three and four-piece ensuites are also common and may include a soaker tub, his and her vanities and high-end fixtures.

Private Yard Spaces – Like any single-family home, manufactured models also have private yard spaces. Here too, buyers may have their choice of lot size and style, including pie-shaped lots, corner lots, low-maintenance lots and everything in between. Fenced yards, private decks and patios, sheds and outdoor entertainment spaces are also typical.

Gourmet Kitchens – Vaulted ceilings, eat-in islands, stainless steel appliances, modern countertops and cabinetry are a few of the many features to expect from a manufactured home. But that’s not all. Other finishes may include oversized windows, open dining areas, walk-in pantries and more!

Detached Garages – Many manufactured home lots can accommodate a single or double detached garage and/or private driveway. Not only can homeowners look forward to private parking for themselves and visitors, but they may also enjoy additional storage, protection from the elements and an added sense of security.

Energy-Efficient Materials, Appliances and Systems – As manufactured homes are factory-built, they’re constructed according to strict environmental standards. These include energy-saving features such as ENERGY STAR rated systems (appliances, water heater, air conditioning, furnace, etc.), energy-efficient windows, siding and roofing, LED lighting, etc.
