Manufactured home communities are one of the most popular ways for residents to live in manufactured homes. They offer great amenities, a secure and relaxed lifestyle, and are among the top destinations for retirees and families alike.
There are seven states* in particular, however, that are abundant with quality manufactured home communities. Is yours on the list?
Florida
Florida’s manufactured home communities are a part of one of the largest markets for communities in the country. With over five thousand mobile home parks for Floridians on MHVillage to choose from, it’s no wonder why families and retirees alike flock to Florida.
With year-round warm weather, parks brimming with resort-style amenities such as pools and walking trails, and top-of-the-line manufactured homes, Florida is a state that anyone should consider when it comes to finding the perfect manufactured home community.
In fact, recently a reality TV and social media star chronicled her experience living in a Florida community!
California
On the other side of the country, manufactured home communities in California are also in abundance. Across the Golden State, you’ll find thousands of communities that list on MHVillage that are teeming with quality manufactured homes and desirable amenities. Not to mention that California is another popular state due to its year-round warm weather and proximity to tourist attractions and beautiful natural scenery and beaches.
Arizona
If you’re looking for another state that’s prime for retirement communities, look no further than Arizona. There are over a thousand communities in Arizona on MHVillage that are both retirement-focused and All-Ages communities that make the state so popular for community living.
Between that and the year-round warm weather (noticing a pattern yet?), it’s easy to see why Arizona is one of the country’s most popular states for manufactured home communities.
Michigan
