mobile home parks

Manufactured housing neighborhoods

Mobile home parks are communities where manufactured or prefabricated homes are placed on rented lots.

Residents typically own their homes but lease the land beneath them, creating a distinct ownership arrangement.

The parks provide shared infrastructure—roads, utilities, sometimes amenities like pools or clubhouses.

Property values dropped when a mobile home park was proposed nearby.

The term carries class connotations; some prefer "manufactured home community."
