Single-family modular home at Trailside Village in Hastings
It’s time to bury the stereotypes about prefabricated homes.
BonnaVilla, a family-owned Nebraska company with a distinguished 55-year history, builds modular homes that meet and often exceed the quality of traditional site-built homes.
Their beautiful homes are constructed by skilled Nebraska craftsmen working in the controlled environment of a factory instead of outdoors. One of the many benefits of their construction methods is that homes can be completed far more quickly than homes built on-site.
This speed results in enormous savings that are helping to ease the obtainable housing crisis, particularly in rural areas. One such project is Trailside Village in Hastings, a development that will take only six months to build., particularly in rural areas.

Set on 3 ½ acres, the community will consist of 11 duplex and two triplex buildings featuring 28 attached, single-family, two- and three-bedroom homes — complete with a full basement, back patio and front porch for a real neighborhood feel.
Interiors will include exceptional features like quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, solid-core doors and soft-close cabinets, as well as upgraded plumbing and lighting fixtures throughout the home.
“This quality of affordable rental homes doesn’t exist in our market today,” said Dave Rippe, co-owner of Trailside Village. “For the price of a much smaller apartment, people will be able to have their own home.”

BonnaVilla’s commitment to excellence
Fast, cost-effective production isn’t the only advantage of BonnaVilla’s prefabricated housing — it’s excellence from start to finish.
They have a long-standing reputation for the structural soundness, from the siding on the outside walls to elements you don’t see, like the 2-by-6 studs and insulation.
While the majority of the home construction is completed in the factory, site preparation remains essential. Basements are poured and porches added on-site, and since the furnace is located in the basement, its installation is completed after the home is set.
“When the houses are delivered, BonnaVilla works hand-in-glove with our construction partner every step of the way, to make sure everything is done well,” said Rippe.

BonnaVilla’s deep roots in Nebraska
Mike Morrow, president and general manager of BonnaVilla believes that “this project is a great visual representation of Chief and BonnaVilla’s commitment to aligning our modular building capacity with the housing needs in Nebraska.”
BonnaVilla was established in 1970, a division of Chief Industries, and their roots remain firmly planted in Nebraska. In fact, their headquarters and factory are located in Aurora, just a few miles from Trailside Village.
Thanks to their reputation for excellence, they have grown from a small local company to the most respected builder of premium prefabricated homes throughout the central and Rocky Mountain states.
