I haven't had much luck with modular homes, mainly because alot of the new developments are all CC&R'd and won't allow them. Plus many of them have gotten so expensive you're better off with a stick built home instead. If you can find land that allows them, they are nice for avoiding the high property taxes most get with a new stickbuilt home.
P.S. Just re-read your OP -- I think you meant a MOBILE HOME COMMUNITY when you said your "modular house" (which it wasn't) was "in a nice community."

The home we lived in (built in the '90's - '95 I think) had 2x4 wall studs - 16" on center. The outside sheathing was paper thin, but the studs were no different than in a "normal" home. We secured bookcases and shelving units with no problems. However - you can forget drywall anchors in the thin wall covering material.

They are a great modular home and as far as I am concerned they are a well built modular. Wardcraft builds only modular homes. They never build any hud code manufactured homes. These homes are better built than many other factory built homes on the market. They are only one of a few factories that will let you design your own home.
