I went to Dave at East Texas Home Center in Lumberton, and he was Great. He walked us through the process, helped us pick out a home, and made sure to explain all the steps we needed to secure the home. He is funny, patient, and pays attention to what we really want. He doesn’t try and just push you into buying a house, he wants to ensure it feels like home to you. I 10/10 recommend Dave.

Instead of driving back and forth between sales lots in Athens or Corsicana, East Texas Home Center coordinates your entire home setup under one roof.

Finding affordable manufactured homes in Athens becomes straightforward when you work with East Texas Home Center to bundle your home structure, dirt work, septic system, and electric runs into one streamlined financing package.
In unincorporated property around Athens, electric service is generally provided by Trinity Valley Electric Cooperative (TVEC) or Oncor. TVEC requires a temporary meter loop pole inspection and an approved county septic permit before energizing permanent service. East Texas Home Center coordinates directly with utility providers and county inspectors so your power drop is approved before move-in day.
Sandy loam drains quickly, often allowing lower-cost conventional septic systems if lot size permits. Heavy clay soil retains water, which means local inspectors will require an aerobic septic unit with spray heads or subsurface drip lines. East Texas Home Center reviews your site evaluation report before foundation work begins.
Whether you already own property near Trinity Valley Community College or are evaluating acreage off Highway 175, East Texas Home Center is ready to help you choose the right floor plan and prepare your land.
