Choosing a community to place your manufactured home is a big decision. It’s
important tofind out as much as you can about the community.
For instance, according to Jan Patterson of Misty Winds Mobile Home Community,
consider location. What kinds of schools are nearby? Are there stores and entertainment
options close? Is it near where you work? Is it in a desirable location? A manufactured
home community should have the curb appeal of a housing subdivision.
Make sure that a community you’re considering is designed to be compatible with
all HUD code manufactured homes and check to see if there is professional on-site
management. Be sure to ask about any insurance you may need to have prior to moving
into the community. Find out what the payments are for living in the community
are.
See what kind of amenities the community offers. Are there any pools or fitness
centers? Any business or community centers? Try to ask other residents about the
community. Do they like it? Are the services the community offers any good? Is
the community relatively safe? Has there been any crime recently?
A community should provide its residents with a comfortable living environment.
If you don’t find yourself comfortable at one community, keep looking.
Checking out a manufactured home community is as important as selecting a ready
built home in a neighborhood.
