About UMH Properties, Inc.

Our history

Choosing a UMH manufactured home for your next home means you’re choosing a company with a long and trusted history in the manufactured and modular home industry. UMH has been in business since 1968, operating as a public company since 1985. For over 50 years, umh has helped fill the gap in affordable housing by providing low-cost, high-quality homes and maintaining well-managed manufactured home communities that provide a desirable lifestyle for homebuyers.

UMH also recognizes our obligation to reduce our impact on the environment and to conserve our natural resources. We have implemented energy and water conservation strategies, as well as partnered with manufacturers who abide by green construction practices that make use of renewable materials and energy star rated products.

As an organization, we believe in enriching the lives of the people impacted by our Company – our employees, our residents and our neighbors. Throughout our history, we have been actively involved in organizations that foster community and fellowship.

Why Factory Built Homes?

What are manufactured and modular homes?

Manufactured and modular homes are built completely in a factory, and later transported to be placed on a home site. Both come in a wide variety of architectural styles, layouts, and sizes. Most manufactured homes are single-story, whereas modular homes can be constructed in multi-story sections if so desired.

Because all manufactured homes are subject to the federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, also known as the HUD Code, manufactured homes are held to higher safety, durability, efficiency, roof load, and wind resistance standards than site-built homes. Along with top-tier quality and safety, they offer many benefits compared to other housing alternatives. Read on to learn more about how UMH makes it simple to design and purchase a manufactured or modular home.

The UMH Difference

Affordability & Financing

What homes are available in your location for under $200,000? What years were they built? Are the appliances new? Do they have open concept floor plans? UMH makes it possible to own a brand new, beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with new appliances, custom-design, open floor plans constructed from high-grade materials for under $200,000.

Quick Build Times

Homes built in factories are built more quickly than homes constructed on-site. Since they are built on an efficient assembly line in a controlled environment with no weather delays, factory-built homes can be built and ready to ship in as little as six weeks.

Quick Move-Ins

Time is on your side with manufactured and modular homes. Land work like septic, crawl spaces, basements, electrical and plumbing can all be done while the home is being built in a quality-controlled factory, which can reduce the build-time by months.

Location, Location, Location

UMH will place a home on your land. If you don’t have land and are on the market for a new home, we own and operate over 115 communities. We can help you find a location that matches your lifestyle, so you can live in a home you love, close to where you work and play.

Quality

Manufactured and modular homes are built with standardized materials in climate-controlled factories, and quality inspected before they ship, during and after installation.

Custom Design

When you customize your UMH manufactured or modular home, you can choose from the newest floor plans and fixtures from industry-leading manufacturers to create the home of your dreams, with a lasting design that is uniquely yours.

Energy Efficiency

Factory built-homes are resource-efficient, meaning no materials are wasted in the build process, reducing the building footprint. Then that efficiency comes home with you, with energy-star certified appliances and utilities systems designed to save power and save you money on bills.

Convenience

UMH offers a hassle-free buying experience for our manufactured and modular homebuyers. We help you secure financing, order the home, handle transportation and coordinate contractors for installation. All you need to do is pick up your keys on move-in day.

Custom Home Design

Imagine this: you walk into your front door, slip off your shoes and feel your favorite carpet or the smooth, perfect hardwood under your feet…

You walk into the spacious chef’s kitchen and drop your keys on the trendy butcher-block island, or maybe those gorgeously marbled granite countertops in your favorite color. You rummage through the cabinets that are stained just to your liking, or go directly to your huge walk-in pantry for a snack…

Then, you cozy up on your couch in front of the electric fireplace, or the built-in entertainment center (or both!), or maybe you go for a soak in your spa-sized garden tub to finish off the evening.

Maybe that sounds a touch too ideal. You have a family to feed or a dog to walk or more work to do. But no matter how you spend your time here: this house can be yours, and it’s affordable.

Our UMH Sales Centers make it possible for you to custom-design your dream home on a budget. That means you can custom-build your own home, without the hassle and the cost that comes with a stick-built construction: but it’s just as functional, just as sturdy, and just as beautiful.

Financing options.

If you’re on the market for new land as well as a new home, then financing a land/home transaction together could come with some advantages. You may find that you have greater flexibility and can qualify for a more appealing mortgage when you finance both your land and your home together. This can equate to thousands of dollars in savings.

If you already own your land, our financing experts can consult with you on what options are available. Since manufactured and modular homes are classified the same as site-built homes, and they continue to increase in popularity and accessibility, there are more available financing options than ever for qualified buyers. First-time home buyers can obtain fha loans in addition to conventional mortgage options. For chattel loans, we recommend cascade financial.

What is a land lease community?

UMH communities are known as land lease communities. In short, a resident of a land lease community owns or rents a home while leasing the lot underneath the home from the landowner. The land lease arrangement allows a resident to experience the true privacy and independence of a single-family home, without spending additional funds on a land purchase or expensive real estate taxes.

This option provides a lot of freedom of choice to potential home buyers who want high-quality homes at a lower cost. But there are many other financial, lifestyle, recreational and practical benefits to living in a land lease community!

Benefits of land lease communities

Social

• Land lease communities are often tight-knit, with neighbors instilling a strong sense of togetherness and security.

• Residents gather for social events for all ages. Whether it’s back-to-school events, a dinner to honor our veterans, or movie night at the clubhouse: families, children, singles and seniors are all welcome.

Recreational

• Amenities are offered at most of our communities, such as community clubhouses, playgrounds, swimming pools, basketball/tennis courts, fitness centers, and even storage facilities for rvs and boats.

Recreational

• Many of our communities have 24/7 onsite maintenance at no extra cost, so our residents can live worry-free.

• Our communities are built with location in mind, so residents have quick access to where they work and play!

• Community landscaping, repairs and maintenance of amenities all fall in our hands.
