I must say she is correct. Most of the mobile home communities are either south of us or to the north in Cocoa and other unincorporated areas. She indicated the only parks around were 55+ communities. I do know there are a few 55+ mobile home parks in the area although I must admit that I am not a mobile home park expert.
I have seen some really nice looking manufactured home communities over by the Tampa area. Some of these newer manufactured homes are being built to look just like "regular" construction.
She kept wanting to know why. My explanation to her was simple and based on my opinion.
Residents in any area determine the type of community and residential development they desire. Buyers choose the type of construction they want and developers provide it. Basic capitalism 101.
In Viera, Suntree and Rockledge there are mostly single family homes, several 55+ communities and condo/town home complexes. Some of these communities are golf course communities; some are gated; and most with deed restrictions and home owner associations.
Besides, in many areas, zoning does not allow mobile homes. You just can't buy a piece of land and put a mobile home on it. There was a time when that may have been true.
She was not happy with that explanation. She felt that it was not fair. I am not sure which part was unfair. I believe the community standards dictate the type and condition of local development.
As a Realtor who has only sold condos, town homes, duplexes and single family homes, I am not an expert on mobile homes and mobile home communities.
If you are in the Viera, Suntree and Rockledge market area and looking to purchase a home or condo, I would be more than happy to assist you in your efforts. If you would like listings emailed to you, just let me know.
