Golden West started building homes in 1965 and is well-known throughout the Northwest region of the United States. According to the company’s website Golden West is among the top 20 manufacturers in the United States. From its very first home in 1965, Golden West’s has built more than 70,000 homes. Oakwood Homes purchased Golden West in 1994 and the quality seemed to drop drastically. Then in 2000 the quality started improving and has continued, with the most recent purchase of the company by Clayton in 2004. We found their closest competitors to be Karsten, Silvercrest, Hallmark Southwest, Skyline, and Fleetwood.
