About Purchasing
Can I own the land and the home at Homestead?
Yes! At Homestead, you have the unique opportunity to purchase both the land and the manufactured home, allowing you to build long-term equity and truly put down roots. Leasing is also available for those who prefer flexibility.
What are the benefits of owning a manufactured home?
