Buccaneer Homes
Buccaneer Homes is a part of the Clayton family, as we mentioned earlier. Founded in 1971, Buccaneer is another Alabama-based modular home builder that ships to Arkansas, and they joined the Clayton family in 2009 (along with Southern Homes, below) but remained their own brand.
They continue to provide quality prefabricated homes like they did 40 years ago and offer over 30 floor plans. Each home is built with the quality, energy-efficient construction that we’ve come to expect from a Clayton-built home. These houses feature top-rated brands and fashionable decor.
Southern Homes
As we mentioned above, Southern Homes is another unique Alabama brand in the Clayton homes family. Founded in 1982, they became known for innovative floor plans and custom modifications. Since then, customization has remained their focus.
Southern Homes feature modern kitchens and spacious living areas. These solidly built homes feature the latest energy-saving technologies and can even be built to EnergyStar standards.
You can find Southern Homes at Clayton homes or Luv Homes retail locations.
Deer Valley
Deer Valley is yet another modular home builder based out of Alabama. They focus on building energy-efficient, sustainable modular homes. Their “Heavy Built” homes can help save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars on energy bills. And who doesn’t want that?
Here’s a quick video tour of a Deer Valley home:
They offer four different series of homes, including their Nativ Living Series, which is a collaboration with Mossy Oak. This series is designed to bridge the gap between indoors and outdoors, allowing you to feel closer to nature.
Whichever floor plan you choose, you can decorate it to your own sense of style, and don’t forget the modern energy-efficient appliances as well. You can count on everything in your home being custom and top of the line.

Either way, you will find companies with experience of building modular homes in Arkansas that have a wide range of floor plans and features to choose from.
