The Benefits of Mobile Home Park Living
Over ten percent of Americans choose to live in manufactured homes, and most of those are in mobile home parks. Those who don’t know anything about mobile home living may be wondering what benefits are included in this lifestyle. Here is a brief list, and I’m leaving off many benefits to focus on the big ones.
Amenities are very common in mobile home parks, and they arewell used in the community. Most Mobile Home Parks have a pool and spa and a clubhouse and maybe some shuffleboard. They are upkept by a property management company that handles the cleaning, lawncare, security system, and other forms of maintenance. Since many mobile home parks have a large retired population, these amenities are well used and are a great way to meet your neighbors.
Mobile Home parks also have a great communal feel to them. It is a throwback to times when your neighbor watched out for your home when you were on vacation. People go for walks around the community, and they even stop to say hi and will have a conversation with you until it’s dark. The casual atmosphere makes mobile home communities a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle that American life has become.
Many people have a stigma of living in a mobile home, the phrase “trailer trash” comes to mind. I assure you that this is not the case in a mobile home community. The “trailer trash” stigma is from the country folks that live in a mobile home placed on an acre of land in rural areas. Mobile home living is as far away from that as possible. In fact, manufactured homes are beautifully crafted today, with vaulted ceilings, energy efficient add-ons, and cosmetic features for the inside and outside of the home. You may have been in a manufactured home recently and not even known it.
For these reasons, many Americans love their mobile home park lifestyles, and they would not live anywhere else.
