Our foundation homes may be small in size, but they offer maximum efficiency, space utilization, and comfort.

Our team at Cornerstone can advise how to approach your zoning department for answers on what is permitted on your lot. We take pride in offering our customers the opportunity to own their own home, especially during a housing market where the price of home ownership is going up and rental rates are higher than ever before.

Before purchasing a home from Cornerstone, you need to own property and confirm that your lot is approved for a small home. Click here for a list of questions to ask your zoning department.

We’ll meet with you to discuss your home goals, review our floor plans and select your personal selections for design. Once your sales agreement and financing is completed, a build and delivery schedule will be provided.

Cornerstone Homes are built in an indoor manufacturing facility in Florida using the highest levels of home building craftsmanship. We fulfill your new home vision to the smallest detail.

A crane is used to deliver and place the foundation home on your lot. We affix the modular home to the foundations in accordance with Florida Building Codes. Once all the utilities are connected, you’ll be ready to move in!
