Clayton Homes
Clayton is a single-family home builder selling modern manufactured homes, modular homes, CrossMod homes and traditional site-built homes. Homes are sold at Clayton and independent retail locations, and the site lets buyers search by location for homes, neighborhoods and home centers.
Buyers can build a home for land they already own, buy an available home on a private lot or in a neighborhood, or tour homes at select Clayton locations, where a home consultant covers general price ranges, features and personalization options. The site is explicit about construction standards: modern manufactured homes are built in a climate-controlled facility to the federal HUD Code, while modular and site-built homes must meet state and local building codes. CrossMod is a registered trademark of the Manufactured Housing Institute.
The business was founded in 1956, when its founder sold his first home, and its contact address is 5000 Clayton Road, Maryville, Tennessee. It says it has welcomed people home for 70 years, and reports 59k homes built in 2025.
Prices are not published and availability varies by location. The pages crawled cover retail home buyers; community owners should confirm directly whether park or bulk-purchase programs are offered and on what terms.

Common questions
- What types of homes does Clayton build?
- Clayton offers a range of new homes for different lifestyles and budgets, including modern manufactured homes and traditional site-built homes, and the site also covers modular and CrossMod homes. Availability varies by location, so the site directs buyers to browse homes available in their area or contact a home consultant.
- What is the difference between mobile, manufactured, modular and CrossMod homes?
- Modern manufactured homes are built in a climate-controlled facility to the federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (the HUD Code) and transported to the homesite. Modular homes are also built indoors in sections but must meet state and local building codes. CrossMod homes are modern manufactured homes permanently installed on a foundation, and appraisal and financing treatment may resemble site-built homes depending on lender and market. Homes built before June 15, 1976 are mobile homes, a type no longer built.
