Why Stonegate?

Stonegate makes homeownership more affordable without sacrificing quality or comfort. With the land lease model, you own your home outright and lease the lot it sits on, lowering upfront costs and making traditional mortgage financing possible. It’s a practical path to stability and equity, without the barriers of today’s real estate market.

Manufactured homes offer lower maintenance, energy efficiency, and layouts designed for easy, everyday living. Every home is built by Prestige in a climate-controlled environment, ensuring consistent quality, modern design, and faster delivery.

Stonegate also stands apart with its lot sizes. While many communities offer 40-foot lots, here every lot is a spacious 50 feet wide, giving you more privacy, more outdoor living space, and room to make the home truly yours.

At Stonegate, affordability meets craftsmanship in a community designed for real life.
