Stick Built vs Modular

My wife and I are looking to move out of our apartment and have been quoted various quotes for a 2,000 sqft home with a basement foundation. We’ve been quoted $440k, $750k, and even $900k.

The $440k would be a stretch for our budget and the other two are way outside of our budget. We need quite a bit of space so downsizing isn’t a very viable option. SO..We’ve started considering modular homes. I see a torn community when I search the pros and cons. Are they as bad as they say?

We toured one today that is 2,200 sqft, 4 bed, 2.5 bath and is very appealing on the interior and exterior and comes in at $270k. With this, I could probably add nice porches to it and possibly a detached garage with a breezeway and still be under the lowest quote of the stick built home. We own 4 acres of developed land that is paid off and is set up for electric, water, sewer, etc.

Any advice or personal experience would be great! Thanks in advance.
