Since 2017, Simple Life has been at the forefront of creating right-sized, affordable living spaces. These spaces cater to the needs and desires of homeowners seeking a simpler, high-quality lifestyle. Simple Life always had a clear goal: create upscale, minimalist communities that blend quality living with natural surroundings, offering active, independent individuals the freedom and amenities to enjoy a simple, fulfilling lifestyle in a close-knit, welcoming neighborhood. Manufactured homes were a natural choice for us because they allowed us to combine affordability, efficiency, and flexibility. This offering also allows us to ensure that every home is built to the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.
Simple Life saw early on how manufactured homes could provide a unique housing option in desirable locations like Central Florida, where affordability and quality matter. Our manufactured homes have helped us build sustainable, welcoming communities with a focus on reducing environmental impact, offering a “right-sized” lifestyle with all the amenities of a traditional neighborhood—without the excess space and maintenance costs.
In 2022, Lakeshore, our first Florida community in beautiful Oxford, switched to site-built homes following supply chain issues introduced by COVID-19. This change provided brand new options for homeowners drawn to Lakeshore’s lifestyle and gave residents more ways to join this vibrant, active community. As we re-introduce manufactured home offerings to Lakeshore, we’re excited to provide more flexibility and choices to our buyers. This change is the first step to the return of our original housing vision; one that emphasizes quality, value, and the freedom of simpler living.
Manufactured Homes are Perfect for Lakeshore
Nestled in Oxford, Florida—near The Villages and close to scenic parks, golf courses, and stunning outdoor spaces—Lakeshore embodies everything Simple Life stands for: simplicity, quality, and a sense of community. The reintroduction of manufactured homes in Central Florida is more than just a housing option! Manufactured homes are a lifestyle choice that meets the needs of today’s buyers. While potential residents are looking for efficiency, affordability, and sustainability, they will also enjoy beautiful Oxford and its warmth. Lakeshore residents enjoy the welcoming spirit of Florida living with access to the region’s best destinations. With its prime location, Lakeshore is perfect for anyone looking to downsize and embrace a simpler lifestyle.
Reintroducing manufactured housing to Lakeshore will give prospective residents even more flexibility. However, it does not mean the end of our site-built offering. We are maintaining our site-built offering to meet diverse needs and preferences. This change allows us to stay true to our roots while enhancing our offerings to cater to the buyers in the Central Florida housing market.
Lakeshore’s manufactured homes are high-quality, efficient, and meticulously crafted by trusted manufacturers who prioritize durability, aesthetics, and functionality. Our upcoming floorplans will introduce models ranging from cozy tiny homes to more spacious cottages. Partnering with top manufacturers means Lakeshore residents enjoy well-designed, beautiful homes that complement the Central Florida lifestyle while delivering the same high-quality standards that Simple Life is known for.
Why Manufactured Homes in Central Florida Make Sense Today
Let’s highlight the benefits that manufactured housing brings to homeowners. The region is seeing a steady increase in the demand for affordable, right-sized housing. As more people seek simpler, more intentional ways of living we will be introducing the perfect models to enjoy life without the burden of maintaining a large home.
Affordability Without Sacrificing Quality
Manufactured homes are more affordable for buyers who want to enjoy a high-quality, lifestyle-focused community without overspending. In the 2024 housing market, home pricing and interest rates are sometimes inaccessible to buyers. With a more accessible price point, manufactured homes offer a great alternative to traditional site-built homes.
Simple Life works on keeping expenses low, while still offering quality amenities. A manufactured home offering makes it easier for many people to achieve the right-sized living they desire. We want residents to enjoy life, rather than worry about mortgage and maintenance costs. Florida is a great example of a location where the cost of living keeps increasing. Lowering these living costs in our communities we offer a practical, attractive solution for those looking to get more for their money.
Built to Last, Designed to Impress
Modern manufactured homes have evolved far beyond the stereotypes of the past. Nowadays, these homes are built to strict standards using high-quality materials. Our partners build them in controlled settings to ensure they are durable and energy-efficient. Manufactured homes are designed to meet the needs of the Central Florida climate, with features that offer comfort, energy efficiency, and aesthetics.
The construction process ensures that manufactured homes comply with national and local building codes, giving buyers peace of mind and confidence in their investment. From sleek, contemporary finishes to smart layouts that maximize space, Lakeshore’s manufactured homes are built to the same high standards as site-built homes, giving residents the best of both worlds—affordability and quality.
Low Maintenance, High Enjoyment
One of the main reasons people like manufactured homes is their low-maintenance design. Their smaller footprint is ideal for homeowners who prefer spending time on activities they love rather than on home upkeep. At Lakeshore, our homes are intended to provide a worry-free lifestyle, offering a simpler approach to living that frees up time and energy.
Living large and carrying less is perfect for Central Florida residents. If you enjoy spending time outdoors, whether that’s golfing, visiting parks, or exploring nearby lakes and natural areas, Simple Life is where you want to be. The reduced maintenance requirements make it easier to lock up and leave for weekend trips or family visits, making manufactured homes ideal for retirees, snowbirds, or anyone who values the freedom of a low-maintenance home.
An Active, Amenity-Rich Community
Beyond the benefits of the homes themselves, the community offers a diverse selection of amenities. At Lakeshore, residents enjoy access to pools, fitness centers, community gathering spaces, dog parks, and more, all within a short walk from their front doors. All these amenities help neighbors connect. We encourage residents to take part in social events and enjoy fitness activities.
Simple Life’s attention to the “spaces in between” homes makes the community really unique. From walking trails, and green spaces, to gardens we create a seamless blend of shared and private spaces. We really strive to extend each resident’s living area beyond their own walls. This layout encourages Lakeshore residents to connect with one another, enjoy the outdoors, and foster a sense of community that’s hard to find elsewhere.
