How Much Do 5 Bedroom Modular Homes Cost?
Modular homes generally cost about $80 to $160 per square foot for the home itself, according to Angi’s 2026 cost data, which puts many 5 bedroom modular homes in the $190,000 to $480,000+ range before land, foundation and site work. Two-story modular plans can be one of the most cost-effective ways to fit five bedrooms on a smaller lot.
