Is Karsten owned by Clayton Homes?

Yes. Karsten is part of the Clayton family of builders, operating its own plants and brand identity rather than selling under the Clayton name directly.

This is the same ownership structure as Marlette, another Clayton-family brand covered on this site. Both operate independently of the Clayton name in the market while sharing the same ultimate parent company and, presumably, some shared engineering and purchasing resources.

Where does Karsten build its homes?

Karsten operates four factories: Texas, California, Oregon and New Mexico. The Albuquerque, New Mexico plant specifically opened in 1998 and has built more than 7,000 homes since, serving Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico.

Only the Albuquerque plant's output is relevant to the triple wide plans in this database; Karsten's other three factories serve different regions under what may be different floor plan lineups entirely. If you're outside the Arizona-Colorado-New Mexico region, confirm which plant would actually supply your home before assuming these specific floor plans are available to you.

How long has Karsten been building homes?

The Karsten name traces back to 1965, though the Albuquerque plant that builds the triple wide plans in this database opened later, in 1998.

That's a meaningful distinction to keep straight: the company's roots and the specific factory behind the homes in this database are not the same date. In its 27 years of operation, the Albuquerque plant alone has built over 7,000 homes, an average of roughly 260 homes a year from one factory.

How does Karsten's pricing compare?

Every Karsten triple wide plan in this database carries a published price, running $239,516 to $346,900, the highest range of any manufacturer covered on this site.

A higher price band doesn't necessarily mean lower value; it more often reflects specification level, finish quality and regional market pricing in the Southwest specifically. Compare a Karsten plan against its exact square footage and feature list, not just its manufacturer name, before concluding it's overpriced relative to a Southeast-built home.
