They are all over the place. While a mobile home isn’t the most people’s first choice, and the value won’t go up like a home on a foundation, it certainly seems better than living in a car. Lot rent still needs to be paid, but that is going to be much cheaper than apartment rent. I glanced at a couple lot rents when looking around and it was around $500/month.
These were just some around $30k that looked pretty decent where most people wouldn’t mind moving in. I saw some as low as $1,500, but they looked like they needed some love.
I think new models are around $70k or so, but I think they lose a lot of value the first few years, kind of like a car.
While it may not be someone’s forever home, using it as a way to have an address, stay off the streets, and save money to afford something else, seems like a decent option.
It would be worth driving around the park at various times of the day before buying one to see what the vibe is like. They can vary a lot. Some can be pretty bad, but I stayed in one for several months when I was young with a friend of the family. It was really nice inside and the park it was in seemed safe.
