trailer court

Manufactured housing community

A trailer court is an area of land where mobile homes or trailers are parked as residences, typically with designated lots rented by occupants.

The term is largely synonymous with trailer park or mobile home park, though trailer court may suggest a somewhat more organized or established arrangement.

The trailer court off the highway had about thirty units.

The term carries class connotations in American English, sometimes used disparagingly to suggest lower-income housing.
