Amazon prefab houses: An affordable option to start over in the U.S.

Prefabricated houses offer a real alternative for those seeking affordable housing in the United States. You don't have to see them as a permanent solution; think of them as a way to start your new life.


Many newly arrived Cubans in the United States, especially in Florida, face a complex problem: Where to live? The rent prices for apartments in cities like Miami are very high, and buying a house is out of reach for the vast majority of citizens.

However, there is an alternative that can solve the issue without breaking the bank: Prefabricated houses sold on Amazon.

This is not a Chinese tale. Prefabricated houses, beautiful and affordable, exist and are becoming trendy, especially among young families.

Their prices range between 10,000 and 35,000 dollars, much more affordable than buying an already built house, especially if you are a Latino newcomer to the U.S.

Why consider a prefabricated house in the United States?

These houses are cheaper than a conventional home and have the advantage of not requiring mortgages or financial complications.

You must add the value of the buildable land you acquire to the price of the house, in the area where you wish to settle. The houses are ready to be assembled on your lot or even in your parents' yard, if they already have their own home.

The delivery time usually ranges from two to three weeks, and they are installed quickly and easily, as if you were assembling a piece of furniture, but on a larger scale.

These houses are an affordable solution, they are customizable and quite durable. Many are made from sustainable materials, such as recycled containers, which not only makes them cost-effective but also a responsible option for the environment.

Various options available on Amazon

Amazon has various models of prefabricated houses available. They vary in different aspects, including:

  • price
  • materials
  • space
  • number of rooms
  • equipment
  • brands of production companies

If you have access to a buildable lot, or if your family owns a house with a yard, one of these prefabricated homes could be the perfect solution for gaining independence.

You don't need to spend a fortune or get into debt. You just need to have a space and a small investment to start living life your way, with your own order and without losing comfort.

These houses can even be a good business option. If you have a large backyard, you can install one of these homes and rent it out, generating extra income. You only need the space and a relatively low initial investment to start benefiting.

Attention to urban planning regulations in Florida.

One very important thing before purchasing a prefabricated house in Miami is to know the zoning ordinances of the area where you plan to install it.

In January, the city of Hialeah approved a more restrictive zoning ordinance that limits the number of trailers and boats that can be kept at a home. Yards must undergo a strict inspection to receive the permit that allows large structures to be placed on them.

Amazon's prefabricated houses offer a real alternative for those seeking an affordable and practical home in the United States.

They are quick to assemble, more affordable than traditional homes, and best of all, they don't require going through the complicated processes of buying a conventional house. If you are looking for an option to live independently or invest wisely, these houses might be just what you need.
