What are Mobile Home Parks and Communities?
Mobile home parks are residential developments designed to house mobile and manufactured homes. They go by a variety of names, including mobile home communities, manufactured home parks, and land-lease communities. They are specifically designed to provide owners and renters of manufactured homes with plots of land to rent, with a wide range of valuable services and amenities included in the price.
Mobile home parks today are vibrant and friendly places. You’ll find everyone from young families to retirees enjoying community life in attractive, cost-effective homes.
Benefits of Mobile Home Parks
As standards have risen for manufactured and mobile homes, homeowners have come to demand correspondingly higher standards from the communities they live in, and the market has responded. Mobile home parks bring some undeniable benefits that appeal to many, including:
Lots Designed For Manufactured Homes
One of the core benefits of living in a development designated specifically for this type of housing is that the parcels are prepared just for mobile homes. In other words, if you purchase a brand-new manufactured home, you can have it sent directly to your new lot without having to worry about leveling, paving, or landscaping. Usually, communities will have staff members to help ensure that the home is properly placed and set up.
Most Parks Feature Appealing Amenities
From pristine pools and tennis courts to ocean views, today’s manufactured home communities are stocked with amazing amenities. In fact, many are designed around a central clubhouse that offers a place for the community to come together to share meals, socialize, play games, and do community service activities. Some also provide access to nature trails, beaches, parks, or lakes.
Services and Utilities Are Included
If you’re drawn to the idea of a condominium or co-op for the low-maintenance appeal, mobile home communities may be an ideal fit while being more affordable than the aforementioned options. When you live in a park, your monthly lot rent may include services like water, sewer, and trash, but may also include cable, internet, and other essential utilities. Many parks also include lawn care services and common area upkeep in the maintenance costs, so you have little to worry about.
Community Living and a Built-In Social Life
One big benefit of living in a mobile home park is the built-in community of like-minded residents. Because these neighborhoods tend to be close-knit and may even be gated or age-restricted, they tend to foster a communal feel where daily or weekly socializing is the norm. Organized events, outings, clubs, game nights, dinners, and even trips help keep residents busy, while lifelong friendships are forged.
You'll find EVERYONE from young families to retirees enjoying community life in attractive, cost-effective homes.
Different Types of Mobile Home Communities
Like traditional neighborhoods, you can select your mobile home park according to a wide range of considerations, such as the landscape, location, and overall feel of the place. There are a variety of reasons why communities might be appealing to a potential buyer, and there are many different types of mobile home parks to consider.
55+ Mobile Home Communities
Also known as age-restricted or senior mobile home parks, these communities generally cater to older adults, similar to a traditional retirement apartment or condo complex. These communities tend to have central gathering spaces for social events, with groups organizing everything from card clubs to shuffleboard tournaments to day trips.
All-Ages Mobile Home Communities
In contrast to age-restricted communities, all-ages communities cater to families, young adults, and basically anyone else who wants to live in an affordable, community-centric development. These parks often have kid-friendly amenities to keep youngsters busy, including pools, basketball courts, playgrounds, and organized activities.
Resident-Owned Mobile Home Communities
Also known as mobile home co-ops, these communities allow residents to share ownership of the park, with everyone contributing pay for the land, maintenance, services, utilities, etc. The benefits of mobile home co-ops are plentiful, giving residents a greater sense of security as well as more control over the way their neighborhood is run.
