Who The Bench Is For

Buyers looking for an affordable manufactured home

The Bench has some of the newest manufactured homes in Keremeos, in a small community.

Because it is in an agricultural area, ask about nearby farming activity such as spraying, noise and equipment.

Homes sit on rented pads, so pad rent, park rules and tenancy terms matter as much as the house. Get them in writing before making an offer.
