Orlando Mobile Homes
Orlando mobile homes sit on private land and community parks. Some Orlando community parks are for seniors only, or at least those 55 years of age or older. There are single-wide and double-wide mobile homes available. Some of these cost as much as a traditional home while most cost much less. Mobile homes have come a long way and are not the “tin cans†they were once considered to be.

Orlando, Florida, home to Disney World and Universal Studios, is a great place to live. Whether your Orlando mobile home is in a park or on your own private land, owning a mobile home is a great way to realize the American dream of home ownership. One benefit to owning a mobile home versus a regular site-built house, with the double and triple-wide mobile homes today, you can afford a bigger home by purchasing a mobile home for the same money as you might pay for a much smaller traditional home.
One thing to consider though if you’re thinking about living in a mobile home park is that most of them require a background check before you can move in. Many mobile home parks, if not all, won’t allow anyone with a felony conviction to live there, whether it’s the owner or a member of their family. Most parks require every adult over age 18 to complete an application. It’s wise to check with the park you want to move in to before you purchase an Orlando mobile home. Whether buying from the park directly or a dealer or even a former tenant of the park, it will save headaches in the end if you make sure there is no problem with your residency application.
More mobile homes are sold in Florida than in any other state. That may be due in part, to the retirement community but there are also plenty of younger couples that raise their families in Orlando. For one thing, it’s easier to buy a mobile home than a traditional house because they are usually cheaper and don’t require as much of a down payment. If you’re putting your Orlando mobile home in a park and won’t be buying land, it may be easier for a first-time buyer. The fact that mobile homes depreciate in value also makes it easier for first time buyers to own their own home. Yet with all the improvements over the years, mobile homes don’t depreciate as fast as they used to. And if your Orlando mobile home is on your own land, it stands a chance of appreciating in value because it has now become real estate.
There’s a lot of flexibility when you choose an Orlando mobile home. It can be a positive and fun experience shopping for your own home. As with any other large purchase, do your homework and shop around for the best deal.
