@@dens3096 Rebar is required no matter the material used. Prices are insane cause if it was half the price it would get sold out quickly but they need to compete with florida home prices
Well, when I lived in Puerto Rico on a military base, our homes were made like Flintstone homes. They were concrete with rebar. That’s the walls the ceiling and floor. My first year there we went through a major hurricane, which did a lot of damage to other civilian wooden structures on the island, no harm to any of the houses on our base. We even had a tree fall right on the roof and heard it fall on the roof, but no issues with the house not a drop of water.
The value in this home I think is the Saftey Factor. Sure it’s great to have a custom home in Florida but what good is that if you’re worried about it getting destroyed every time the news says a Hurricane is on its way. I can see some people trading Saftey over Unique. One last thing. These homes only look strange cause they are back to back to back. I have seen custom huge homes back to back all look cheep and uniform as well.
Welcome to a third world premium neighborhood, from Mexico to the south, this is the way homes are built, I don't know how they are insulating those concrete boxes but l have been inside concrete homes in the summer and they are literally pizza ovens, concrete retains the heat from the whole day and release it during the night toward the inside. But beyond the massive concrete structure and the same look in the whole community here is the tricky and shaddy factor that never is realizing, they are selling you the half of land of a traditional american home since this homes are closer one to each other because they are being able to skip the minimum setback required for traditional homes where you will find a minimum 10' separation for fire, these homes have only a one car garage, a third world backyard and forget about being able to modificate the floor plan or make an addition in the future. Americans should reject this greedy home developers, and y personally would never ever buy one house like this.

Those who complain $500k is expensive forget this is a market economy. The more companies build pre-fabricated houses, the faster their prices will go down. And yes, in Eastern Europe including former Soviet Union, pre-fabricated apartment block have been built since 1960s.
Well, though the price is 500k, the materials are more resilient, and I suppose the assembly timeline is much shorter than a conventional construction, I think 500k is somehow reasonable.
Very interesting and I like that its concrete and not wood frame other manufactured or modular homes. Although even the wood frame ones are built to meet the 175 mph wind code. There's many all over the Keys and central Florida. But I cant help but wonder how difficult it would be to fix or change plumbing, wiring, etc., on these.
They need a variety of different styles of homes with different elevations. However concrete homes for Florida, and other states like Georgia, Carolina's where hurricanes 🌀 are prevalent makes a whole lot of sense. The price of $500.000 is a bit steep but I do understand it's concrete.
Lol people bitching about the price should come to NY. 😅 A 5 bedroom 3 bath house like those would cost 800 thousand to 1 million, depending where in NY.
Who would want to live in homes so close? If your neighbor is a smoker, so are you...even if you don't want to! Your home becomes a place you don't want to be and your stuck with something you can't sell!
As far as $500,000+ cost: Housing prices vary greatly around the country. Where I live a 5 bedroom, 3-4 bath, new construction would be about 3000 sq ft. The estimated construction cost around here is about $200/sq ft, so about $600,000. Factory built homes aren't new. back in the 1980s my Uncle, an architect, and his partner built complete wall and roof panels in a factory setting then transported them to the site and used cranes and contractor crews to set them in place. The construction was conventional wood frame; wiring and plumbing was in place and just needed to be hooked up. It eventually failed because they didn't have their own crew to assemble. The building trades fought them for fear of losing their jobs. Their designs weren't all the same and they offered many options for floor plans and sizes.
I wouldn’t pay half a million dollars for a prefab home ! This world has gone absolutely crazy when it comes to the cost of simple housing. Everyone has a right to fair housing this here is price gouging what a shame put these people in prison
This reminds me of the theme song for the show WEEDS. Little boxes on the hill side little boxes full of ticky - tacky little boxes little boxes and they all look just the same.
My eyes opened wild when i heard '5 bathrooms'. They look small from the outside, but ate actually fairly spacious. Would be perfect for projects in africa I wonder How durable are they? What can be done to bring the price low?
House looks strong and sturdy. I think they are built to last long time. Neighborhood looks very boring . Building that kind of house on private 1 acre lot would be something 😊
I like the idea and the insides of the home. The only thing is that there needs to be variations in the exterior styling and color of the homes. Every house looks exactly the same. Reminds me of a dystopian community. This reminds me of that movie where a couple went to visit a home and couldn't escape the neighborhood lol. 😳
LOL! Building homes in a factory and assembling them on site is a concept that goes back at least to 1908 with the Sears catalog homes. Except those homes had style and personality. Other issue is that the model house shown in this video had FIVE bedrooms. OMG - this neighborhood will be crawling with children with no place to play. I suppose this neighborhood is better than living in an apartment, but it's not for me!
and i forgot.your 500 thousand here in california get you 4 to 5 bedroom house brand new.with big yard and a lot of parking space and the weather is 100 degrees and up.instead they used the land like this for warehouse and manufactured or something else and used train to go there or by car.
Little boxes with no hillside. Little boxes made of ticky tacky. And they all look just the same. (With 2 feet separation from your neighbors and a view of their side wall.)
one of these houses would be $3M in So Cal so 500k is actually good but i agree with you also there’s no backyard i’d hate living here i’d feel like a bot👎
lmfaoooo!! I'm howling not the "lego set w/ no character", I'm dead but u aint wrong and 5ook for virtually no land is actually wild, but prices may drop as demand and supply increases and processes become easier, but from the comments i doubt that the demand will be high, but good for them.
@@mvpfocus true. i am up for "designer neighborhoods" but we need to keep each house unique otherwise it is just creepy like the houses from that book and movie called "the giver". really good book and the movie is just great, you should read/watch it sometime it's interesting.
Nice, but being prefabricated they have to drop the Cost drastically. Labor cost ( In-house factory ). Physical labor less than 12 man ( Machined ). Precast, transportation ( Crane, tractor-trailer ).
That neighborhood looks dystopian as hell. If you're willing to live like that, and that close, why not just build a mixed use neighborhood with a mix of townhomes, apartments, couple small shops, and a nice big community park and rec area in that middle block? There's plenty of space in this development, but zoning and the familiarity of single family homes has them doing the absolute bare minimum with it. I promise these people aren't going to do anything with their 3ft of grass on each side of the house, and that small "backyard".
No need to ask where the bathroom is at when you visit your friends house, you both have the exact same house.
It is good to see houses made of concrete again :))

and i forgot.your 500 thousand here in california get you 4 to 5 bedroom house brand new.with big yard and a lot of parking space and the weather is 100 degrees and up.instead they used the land like this for warehouse and manufactured or something else and used train to go there or by car.
Little boxes with no hillside. Little boxes made of ticky tacky. And they all look just the same. (With 2 feet separation from your neighbors and a view of their side wall.)
NEED TO PUT THE PRICES OF THE HOMES LOWER
Just like the movie Vivarium
A modern take on the Flintstone's house!😂
5:13 Urban Hell for NPCs
Not only it’s overpriced for such tiny homes but I bet this id HOA community, means you will own nothing.
But the video is very good!
one of these houses would be $3M in So Cal so 500k is actually good but i agree with you also there’s no backyard i’d hate living here i’d feel like a bot👎
Wall Street being apart of the real estate industry is sickening
We need some more cool, walkable towns - Not cookie cutter neighborhoods that rely on cars.
Is this the PREfab?
500K to buy a home with almost no yard and look exactly like every other home.
Nah lol 500k for a lego set w/ no character is wild.
lmfaoooo!! I'm howling not the "lego set w/ no character", I'm dead but u aint wrong and 5ook for virtually no land is actually wild, but prices may drop as demand and supply increases and processes become easier, but from the comments i doubt that the demand will be high, but good for them.
Houses are too close to each other and have no yard. Might as well live in an apartment and used the saved space for a large common area/park.
I see Hollywood movies now it’s become a reality.
This model should be applied across the country. The construction is better and more consistent.
God please no
IF you want to live in a box that cannot be changed. No window in bathroom for fire escape.
How much price and where located?
This place needs more competition. Half a million plus isn't competitive. They'll have to learn to be. And that's capitalism.
They forgot to put a parks on this neighborhood so people can relax and join the fun.
I’d buy one.
Very cool!
These homes could be indestructible. Expensive yes but they are concrete and the floors are real tile.
Great! At least a house is made with concrete
Give me that, but put a sh*t ton of wood planking around to give it a rustic outdoorsman feel.
@@mvpfocus true. i am up for "designer neighborhoods" but we need to keep each house unique otherwise it is just creepy like the houses from that book and movie called "the giver". really good book and the movie is just great, you should read/watch it sometime it's interesting.
This is not worth more than 50k
Nice, but being prefabricated they have to drop the Cost drastically. Labor cost ( In-house factory ). Physical labor less than 12 man ( Machined ). Precast, transportation ( Crane, tractor-trailer ).
Where is the Factory ? If the home travels across the US, how will it endure the bumps along the way ? What are the shipment costs?
THEY WENT OUT OF BUSINESS 🥵
who did?

That neighborhood looks dystopian as hell. If you're willing to live like that, and that close, why not just build a mixed use neighborhood with a mix of townhomes, apartments, couple small shops, and a nice big community park and rec area in that middle block? There's plenty of space in this development, but zoning and the familiarity of single family homes has them doing the absolute bare minimum with it. I promise these people aren't going to do anything with their 3ft of grass on each side of the house, and that small "backyard".
