The Manufactured Housing Forums

I am looking for a used mobile home in Florida that I could use as a winter retreat until I eventually do move down to Florida. Because I will be keeping my current house up north, I am looking for a mobile home park with a low lot rent fee. Outside of calling every mobile home park around the Tampa, Clearwater and Sarasota areas, is there a listing of the Mobile Home Parks anywhere that shows there Lot Rents and maybe other ammenities, so I can make a comparison?
This would be a very big help. Thanks

You might want to try a few contacts..

Florida Manufactured Home Association might have a rent list..

A good web site specializing in Florida parks is

http://www.mcxpress.com/Articles/Archive.iAW

or www,mcxpress.com

Of course the listings here in the multiple listing service should also be helpful..

What about a list for other states, that would also include information regarding if it was resident owned, or has family and/or age restrictions, in addition to listing typical lot rents?

Well...I think I posted this before...CA has a great site listing every park in the state..with operators names and phone numbers..You can search by city, county..what ever..

Also the Wehrman Library has lots of info on resident owned parks..It is maintained by a consulting firm specializing in such in CA..

A phone call to the sites owners might be helpful finding a list you are looking for..
