About Meritus

At Meritus Communities, our goal is simple: offer positive living experiences in exceptional communities at affordable prices.

Meritus was founded in 2013 by a group of manufactured housing industry veterans who wanted to make a difference in the way manufactured housing communities are run and the way residents are treated. Today, we build thriving, well-run communities where residents have more than a place to live, but a place where they are able to enjoy an active lifestyle by being part of an exceptional neighborhood full of luxury amenities.

Meritus Communities is one of the nation’s largest and quickest growing owner/operator of Manufactured Housing Communities (MHCs), spanning over 21,000 sites across the US since its founding. Are you ready to join the team?
