Excelsior Homes West, Inc. | Why are Modular Ranch Style Homes So Popular?

Why are Modular Ranch Style Homes So Popular?

September 25, 2025 by Excelsior Homes

Modular ranch style homes are among the most popular options for buyers in the US, thanks to their single-level design, open layouts, easy accessibility, adaptable design and timeless curb appeal. Ranch modular homes offer even more advantages including affordability, quality, and quicker build times, so what’s not to explore?

What is a Modular Ranch-Style Home?

A ranch style home is a single-level design with a long, low profile and loved for it’s simple, welcoming layout. Here in Minnesota and throughout much of the Midwest, people often use the term “rambler” interchangeably with “ranch.” “Ranch” is the official architectural style, while “rambler” is more of a regional name for a single-story ranch. The “Modular” part means the home is built in sections (modules) inside a climate-controlled factory, then delivered to your lot and assembled on-site.
