The Growing Popularity of Champion Mobile Homes
When it comes to affordable homeownership with style and quality, Champion mobile homes have become a go-to solution for thousands of Americans. These factory-built treasures combine modern design with practical affordability—giving you the home you want without breaking the bank.
Starting at just $43,900, Champion homes offer an impressive range of options from cozy 533 square foot single-wides to sprawling 2,305 square foot family homes with up to five bedrooms. With over 76 different floor plans to choose from, there’s truly something for everyone, whether you’re a first-time buyer, downsizing, or looking for your forever home.
Since 1953, Champion has been perfecting the art of manufactured housing. That’s nearly seven decades of experience packed into every home they build! With 40 manufacturing facilities across North America and more than 3 million homes delivered, they’ve earned their reputation as industry leaders through consistency and innovation.
“One of the reasons we chose Champion was because their standard finishings were of a higher quality,” shares homeowner Melissa Smith. “The cabinet styles were solid oak, the tile wasn’t laminate, it was actually tile.” This attention to quality materials is what sets Champion mobile homes apart in a competitive market.
For budget-conscious families, Champion offers an attractive path to homeownership without cutting corners. Each home is built to federal HUD code standards, ensuring safety and durability while maintaining affordability compared to traditional site-built homes.
Energy efficiency is another Champion hallmark. With quality insulation, low-E windows, and Energy Star appliances, these homes don’t just save you money upfront—they keep utility bills manageable for years to come. That’s smart homeownership at its best!

Standard & Optional Features
What surprises many first-time visitors to our showroom is the quality of finishes in Champion mobile homes. Standard features include solid oak cabinetry, genuine tile (not laminate look-alikes), and energy-efficient appliances that would be considered upgrades in many competitors’ homes.
The insulation package is particularly impressive, with R-13 floors, R-19 walls, and R-30 ceilings creating a comfortable, quiet interior while keeping energy costs manageable year-round.
For those looking to improve their living experience, Champion offers several premium upgrade packages. The Home Point™ smart technology system lets you control temperature, lighting, and security from your smartphone. The Radiant Spa Bath™ transforms an ordinary bathroom into a luxurious retreat with soaking tubs and premium fixtures. And the Ultimate Kitchen Two™ package delights home chefs with advanced cooking features and neat finishes.
On the exterior, you can choose between durable vinyl siding or Smart Panel options in various colors to match your personal style and complement your property’s surroundings.

Your final investment will depend on several factors. Beyond the base price, consider delivery distance (we serve all of Texas, with special pricing for Laredo customers), site preparation requirements, and foundation type.

Many customers are surprised by how much flexibility exists to tweak blueprints and personalize their home.
After finalizing your design choices, your order enters production. Current lead times typically range from 6-12 weeks, though this can vary seasonally. Throughout construction, your home undergoes rigorous quality inspections – both Champion’s internal protocols and independent third-party checks – ensuring everything meets or exceeds building standards.
Many customers appreciate our virtual tour options during construction, allowing them to see their home taking shape even before delivery.
Financing & Warranty Options
Financing a Champion mobile home is often simpler than many buyers expect. Options include traditional mortgages, government-backed loans (FHA, VA, and USDA for permanently installed homes), and chattel loans for homes not on permanent foundations.
