Happy homeowners

Family is what brought Viola and Don to Michigan and become first-time manufactured home owners. Previously from Connecticut, the couple wanted to be nearer to their grandchild and they found the perfect community at Woodlands Estates in Oakland Twp., Michigan.

Never having considered a manufactured home before, they began the process by doing a bit of research to educate themselves before a purchase, and were delighted with what they learned.

“The construction of our Skyline home is wonderful,” Viola said. “I love the delightful details like the crown molding, wainscoting, pendant lighting and especially the fireplace.” Their single-section home has three bedrooms and two baths, a kitchen with an eating nook, a living room with a fireplace and more than enough room to play with their grandchild.

Another benefit for the couple is the community’s proximity to the downtown Rochester area with its vibrant dining and shopping and Addison Oaks County Park. “I love this area and can’t get over how much there is to do,” Viola said. “You want a nice home, of course, but where you place the home is just as important,” she said.
