Mobile Home Park Growth and Affordability

May 28, 2019 by Excelsior Homes

As we find the cost of housing rising in Minnesota more people are looking to mobile home parks as an affordable housing solution. Mobile home parks are filling up as more people look at them for options. We’ve had the opportunity to work with a number of the parks across Minnesota in cities like Blaine, St. Cloud, Owatonna, Annandale, Mankato and Hutchinson when placing new mobile homes for buyers.

Mobile Home Park Affordability

Schult Riverview 204

In most mobile home (also known as manufactured home) parks you’ll own your home and rent the lot that it is placed on from the park. Like all the homes we offer at Excelsior Homes, there are many manufactured home options to choose from. The amount of bedrooms and bathrooms can help guide your decision along with your design preferences and budget. Many mobile home parks offer incentives when you sign a lease for a lot. Ask parks what offers they have, you might be able to save some money!

Perhaps one of the biggest perks of moving into mobile home park is how quickly you can be living in a new home. When you find a lot, get approved by the park, have financing lined up and find a manufactured home things can fall into place fairly quick. In some cases there are homes ready for immediate move in. You probably still have lots of questions. Check out our manufactured home planning guide for more information.

Homes Ready for Move-In

Schult GM Special 65-1

If you’re interested in living in Annandale or Glencoe we have new home options setup and ready for move-in. In Glencoe, the Schult GM Special 65-1 is located on Glen Knoll Properties. In Annandale, the Schult Riverview 204 home is located in Eastview Mobile Home Park. If you have financing and are approved by the park for move-in there is a home ready for you.

If you are looking for financing options a couple manufactured home financing options include:

21st Mortgage Corporation
Triad Financial Services
While there are many other options that exist these are a couple places you can start.

If you’re looking for an affordable housing option consider choosing a manufactured/mobile home. We’re here to help find a home that fits your needs.
