You may already have a budget, square footage and number of bedrooms in mind, but there are many other options to consider when you’re picking out your new home. To help you, Clayton offers many stylish models with features you won’t want to miss. We’re sharing some of the most popular ones we know today’s home buyers are looking for.

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is top of mind for many home buyers who want help saving both energy and money on their utility bills. New Clayton homes include a variety of energy-efficient features, including:

• A smart thermostat that allows you to control your home’s heating and cooling from anywhere using your smartphone
• Quality insulation to keep your home comfortable
• Sealed ductwork that helps maintain the desired temperature in your home year round while also reducing indoor allergens
• Low-E windows that help reduce the amount of UV rays that enter your home
• A hybrid water heater that heats water more efficiently

Quiet Luxury

Quiet luxury is growing in popularity, in both fashion and home design. It focuses on investing in quality materials for a subtle but sophisticated look. Discover some of the classic details and elegant features in the rooms of our manufactured and modular homes.

Bathrooms

Many home buyers are looking for spacious primary bathrooms with convenient features like built-in linen closets, double sinks and private toilets. But they also want to relax and refresh in a beautiful space. Get the spa treatment with features like:

• Walk-in showers
• Rainfall shower heads
• Stone and wood-style tile
• Free-standing or alcove soaker tubs
• Handheld faucets
• Built-in or separate vanities
• Marble-style counters

Bedrooms

Clayton isn’t sleeping on primary bedrooms either, though you’ll definitely want to catch some Z’s in them. Some of the features you’ve been dreaming of include walk-in closets with built-in storage, accent walls and private retreats for a nursery, sitting room, office or more.

Kitchens

When touring homes, buyers typically head to see the kitchen first. Food has a way of bringing people together, from breakfast to late night snacks, so naturally the kitchen is one of the most used rooms in your home. And if you’re cooking, you might as well cook in style with options and details like:

• Large kitchen islands
• Stainless steel appliances
• DuraCraft® cabinets
• Decorative and modern hood ranges
• Farmhouse and apron sinks
• Pull-down faucets
• Statement backsplashes
• Stone and butcher block-style counters
• Wine racks and coolers
• Pendant lights

Living Rooms and Dens

Other common areas, like the living room, family room and den, should also be comfortable and inviting with plenty of space to gather. Built-in entertainment centers and shelving, media walls, fireplaces, ceiling beams, and tray, arched or 9 ft. ceilings, and more are some of the features you can find in our living rooms.

Defined Spaces

When looking at potential homes, more buyers today are considering closed floor plans, including how defined a room or space is and the purpose it serves. Some features we offer that create this feeling include:

• Dining rooms
• Home offices or desk nooks
• Foyers
• Partition walls
• Storage areas like mudrooms, garages, utility rooms or butler’s pantries
• Flex rooms that can serve as home gyms, hobby rooms, playrooms and more

Personalization

You want your home to feel like you, and your wall art and furniture aren’t the only things to consider. Before you move in and decorate your Clayton home, you may want to consider personalizing it with any customization options and upgrades that are available for that specific floor plan. The exact options can vary, but some popular ones include:

• Different options for colors, materials, stains and hardware for cabinets, backsplashes, countertops and finishes in the kitchen and bathrooms
• Flooring and carpet options
• Built-in features and storage options or upgrades, such as choosing a fireplace or entertainment center and adding a coffee station to the kitchen
• Features designed for pets, like built-in food storage or grooming stations
• Different room or floor plan layouts, like choosing between a den or bedroom, or a larger primary bathroom shower or closet
• Accessibility features like support handles in showers or wider hallways for better mobility

Living Healthier at Home

Another trending theme is home health and safety, from systems that improve air quality to features that promote self-care and wellbeing. People want to feel good in their homes, so they are looking at features we offer like:

• Home tech like smart thermostats and water heaters you can control with a smartphone
• Home security with Kwikset® SmartKey Security™ locks that are more pick resistant and let you re-key your lock in case you lose your key
• Outdoor living spaces like covered porches and patios
• Large windows for natural lighting and connecting with nature
• Kitchens with features like walk-in pantries, islands for meal prep and appliances from trusted brands
• Primary bathrooms that focus on relaxation with soaker tubs and standalone showers
• Quality insulation, sealing and thermal barriers to keep out allergens and moisture
