Twin Lakes at Avon Park: Champion Homes Builds Affordable Housing Development in Florida, Highlighting Benefits of Offsite Construction

TROY, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Champion Homes, Inc. (“Champion Homes”) celebrated the grand opening of a new Champion-exclusive manufactured housing development helping to address the affordable housing shortage in Florida. Twin Lakes at Avon Park, a community of more than 300 affordable homes for rent or purchase, had its official grand opening on Mar. 22, 2025, in Avon Park, Fla. Residents have already started moving into their homes, and the community is currently accepting applications.

All homes in the development will be built at Champion Homes's manufacturing facility in Bartow, Fla., with the first 118 already completed. Additionally, the above-ground setting and installation work for the homes is being completed by Champion Construction Services, an affiliate of Champion Homes.

Owned by Rocklyn Capitalization Group, Twin Lakes at Avon Park demonstrates that offsite construction can be a fast and cost-effective solution to affordable housing shortages in the state. Champion Homes employs a skilled, centralized workforce in manufacturing facilities where homes are protected from the elements during construction. These efficiencies contribute to quicker project timelines, which can enable residents to move in faster and avoid expenses associated with construction delays.

Each three-bedroom, two-bathroom home features a porch, kitchen island, en-suite primary bathroom, laundry room and an optional carport. The community is nestled in beautiful Highlands County near lakes, golf courses and wildlife refuges.

Community amenities include a swimming pool, pickleball court, fitness center, dog park and clubhouse. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the private beach area, tiki hut and lake access with a public boat ramp. Notably, there is no age restriction for living in the community, distinguishing it from many other Florida housing developments.

A private grand opening was held on Mar. 20. Builders, community members and government officials were invited to walk the homes and view the quality of construction.
