The premise of this episode of American Dream Builders  was that 4 identical modular homes would have their interior designs and landscaping done by 4 different teams of competing professionals.

One of the judges in the American Dream Builders episode shown said these homes compared well with a Manhattan penthouse! As Joe Stegmayer observed, the cost is just a fraction of one of those elite New York City addresses. A similar point was made by CBS News in their recent Sunday Morning episode that featured manufactured homes from entry level to residential style and up to those elite models that shattered stereotypes because they are lived in by millionaires.
