There's no shortage of impressive new prefab home designs out there these days. Some of them, however, (looking at you, Phillip Starck-designed eco-villa and ultra-luxe Vipp shelter) seem to defeat the romance of a cost-effective modern prefab, each asking upwards of half-a-million dollars for the basic model. To keep the prefab dream alive, here are some relatively affordable options that don't sacrifice style—one can even withstand a Category 5 hurricane, now that's priceless.

The models listed below, which all come furnished and mostly starting at below $150,000. Costs associated with land, permits, transport, foundation, installation, etc. are not included. Know any other great prefab options? Please share in the comments.
