Manufactured homes - why location matters

Before you start looking for a manufactured or mobile home for sale, you need the answer to this question.

Why does matter where my home is located?

Any manufactured home (formerly called ‘mobile home’ or ‘trailer’) retailer in Iowa can sell you four walls and a roof. “We want to guide our homebuyers to clean, safe neighborhoods,” notes Curtis Hames, Sales Manager for Hames Homes. “We educate customers on why this is important,” he adds.

Resale Value of Home

Location affects home value. Manufactured homes in Hames’ Grand View and Summit View manufactured home communities in southwest Cedar Rapids are worth more than similar homes in other mobile home parks. Hames communities have beautifully landscaped common areas, parks, playgrounds, walking/jogging trails, basketball courts, off-leash dog park, an on-site food pantry, and a disc golf course. All these improve resale value.

Safety of Living

Neighbors that care – about their homes and about each other - make a difference. Hames encourages community spirit by offering indoor and outdoor gathering spaces plus plenty of all-age events. Hames communities have on-site managers available 24 hours a day for emergencies. All prospective residents undergo a background check before they are accepted to live in Grand View and Summit View. Two emergency shelters at each manufactured home community are accessible when Iowa storms hit.

Quality of Life

Short commutes to work, shopping, restaurants, and activities are important, too. Grand View and Summit View are just minutes from Kirkwood Community College, CRST Trucking, Amana Colonies, Whirlpool, Eastern Iowa Airport, and Westdale Town Center. They are also close to Highway 30, I-380 and I-80 so it’s a breeze to travel to Waterloo, Iowa City, Des Moines, even Chicago.

Hames Homes has buyers’ best interests at heart. That’s why they’ve been in business for over 50 years and sold over 14,000 homes. Hames Homes is the “gold standard” in Iowa for managing and operating manufactured home communities. Visit them today!
