Kingsway Green

Why Kingsway Green?

  If you are renting now and would like to be a homeowner for the first time or if you have sold your house and are downsizing, we have the perfect new home and location for you.  Kingsway Green is a modern all age gated community located in the unincorporated area of Shelby County.  Kingsway Green is owned and operated by Kingsway Greens of America, Incorporated; a Tennessee corporation founded in 1964.  The community is named after a city park in London, England.  Kingsway Greens of America, Inc. has always led the way in it's industry having built the first modern mobile home subdivision in Madison, Tennessee in 1965 and the first manufactured home community to install tornado shelters in Memphis, Tennessee in 2007.  Kingsway Greens of America, Inc. is proud that one of its owners has been inducted into the Manufactured Housing Institute's Hall of Fame for meritorious service to the industry.

  With the average price of a new home approaching $200,000 in the Memphis area, and at $125 per square foot to build, many of us cannot afford a new home. Consider our homes and our community with amenities that equal any built by a company with 45 plus years of experience.  All new homes come with a warranty for less than $45 per square foot.  We offer affordable, high quality, heavy built homes for great people, in a great community.

  Our new homes are built with 2"x6" exterior wall studs, GE appliances, 13 SEER air and heat systems, thermopane tilt-in windows, R-44 insulation in the attic, R-19 insulation in the walls, ceramic tile floors, true 8' ceilings, recessed lighting, jacuzzi tubs and many more extras that you would expect in a new home, and are now available to you at an affordable price at Kingsway Green.

  Kingsway Green has believed from the start of our business that we should set the bar high and be an  independent leader of communities in our type of business.  Through the years we have maintained this level of excellence and now we have expanded our business to include the sales of new quality built homes.  Kingsway Green does not rent homes as the community is for homeowners only.  This business strategy maintains home values.

  Today, our competition is not other manufactured homes, but site built homes.  For that reason we have chosen manufacturers of homes that can produce a home that is at least comparable if not better than a site built home to offer to our residents.  Quality built and affordable, that is what we offer at Kingsway Green.

Construction Myths

  Having a home built in a factory bothers some people.  They think that if a home is not built out in the weather, sitting in the rain, exposed to the elements, that they cannot have a quality home.  I would say that everything we own today has probably come from a factory.  How could a home be considered inferior because it is built in a controlled environment where it never gets rained on, or where the material doesn't sit there exposed to the elements?  Material and components that are cut with precision computer technology with less waste and error is what makes for a quality built home!

  There is a myth that the products incorporated into the building of the homes we offer are cheap, substandard materials.  The materials used are the same material every site built builder uses, but the difference is that our home builder buys the same material in bulk.  Carpet, wiring, lumber, paint, electrical fixtures, siding, roofing, etc. are bought by the train or truck load in bulk.  For example, an individual might have to pay $3.00 for a 2x4, our home builder buys the same lumber for $1.50.  Not inferior material, just the same material at a cheaper price.

  On an assembly line, the carpenters, electricians, plumbers, painters and carpet layers show up every day, knowing exactly what they are doing, producing less waste, and working together in an efficient manner to produce not a cheaper house, but a truly affordable quality built home for the consumer.  Come see for yourself.

  An affordable quality built product from a quality home builder, in a great all ages gated community, this is what Kingsway Green is all about.

Ready to Downsize

  Many people are now looking at their options for housing in the future.  If not for them, maybe for their aging parents who do not need stairs to climb or large yards to mow or gutters to clean out.  Maybe it is time to consider homes with large open rooms with lots of lighting, with no staircases, and with less maintenance to do.  Most people have older homes that were not built with adequate insulation to help combat the rising cost of heating and cooling our homes.

  Are you ready to move into a modern, well insulated house that fits your needs of today?  Are the kids grown and moved away?  Do you really need that large house anymore?

  Is the neighborhood the same as when your kids were growing up?  Or has most everyone moved off, leaving you with a not so secure feeling of who your neighbors are and do they share the same values as you?  Is your property value rising as fast as it once did?  Are the houses around you quickly becoming rentals?

  What if your home had modern appliances, large walk-in closets, vinyl siding, tilt-in thermopane windows, and a large front porch to sit and rock your cares away?

  If you or someone you know is ready to make a move that would allow them to eliminate their high property taxes, lower their utility costs, have virtually no maintenance costs each month, but spend their time relaxing, traveling, or just living their life in a quiet, safe, gated community, then we have the answer for them.  It is Kingsway Green.

  Most people are now having to look at what it costs to live, versus what they have planned for and are finding that they are going to run short.  So they will have to make some decisions, either work longer at their current jobs or take second jobs, cut back and not live as they   planned, or downsize into a more affordable home, retire as planned and live their lives like they wanted.

  Take a few moments and write down all the expense involved in maintenance, high property taxes, utility costs, lawn care, etc. for your current housing and the costs for the next 5 years you know you are going to have.  If those costs reach the thousands of dollars, maybe it is time to look at another option.

  Kingsway Green is a community you will be proud to call home.

The Baby Boom Generation

  If you are in the 55 to 85 year old age group, Kingsway Green is for you.

  Did you know that this age group is growing faster than any other age group?  Did you know that over the next 25 years the global population aged 65 and above is projected to grow almost a million people a month?  According the the U.S. census, by the year 2030, the number of Americans above the age of 65 is expected to be four times as great as it was in 1990.  By 2010 one fourth of all Americans will be at least 55 years old.  By the year 2025, one half of the population of the United States will be over the age of 65.

  Many people are now having to take another look at their retirement plans.  For people currently ready to retire or have retired, the value of their retirement portfolio is probably not where they planned or would like, due to the financial markets downturn.  The monthly income they had planned on having is greatly reduced.  For these people they have some options.  First, they could return to the workplace and continue working past their planned retirement date.  Or they could retire as planned and live on less per month from their investments.  Some might choose to retire and supplement their income with a part-time job.  None of these seem to be good options for a person who has worked their entire life, and looking forward to traveling, relaxing and enjoying their retirement years.

  To compound the problem for this age group is the daily cost of living; a cost that seems to be increasing faster than their income.  Health and medical costs continue to rise, energy cost for home heating and cooling, gasoline for cars, prescription medicines, groceries, insurance, etc., just keep going up.

  The vast majority of this age group live in homes that were built before the 80's.  These homes are probably not very well insulated, causing higher heating and cooling costs.  Usually these homes do not have enough lighting or closet space.  The kids have moved out now, leaving you to rake and mow the lawn, clean the gutters, paint, repair or replace older appliances, replace the roof, and calling on an electrician and plumber to repair old electrical wiring and plumbing problems.  Plus, the older, larger home is not really needed and the staircase is becoming a hazard.

  What are your options?  The costly retrofitting of your older existing home, a nursing  home, a condo or townhome, move in with the kids or rent a noisy cold apartment?  If these options do not sound exactly what you want, then come to Kingsway Green and be proud to call this gated community your home.

  We can share with you a vision and product that when compared against your current older home, costs to your future expenses in your new energy-efficient warranted home, you will see that you will be able to live on your current income and live in a new home.  An affordable and independent lifestyle.

  Kingsway Green can offer you a quality built home in a quality community.  These are not cheap options, as we are not the cheapest option, but we believe we offer a great value for the money and will be able to provide  excellent service in our homes.  We hope you will also consider your needs of tomorrow, not just today.  We hope you will let us help you plan for your needs in the future and make certain that your quality of life is comfortable and enjoyable in the future as you stay with us at Kingsway Green.  We invite you to come see for yourself.
