This residential community concept integrates individual manufactured homes within a planned development, often offering amenities and communal spaces for its residents. As a form of housing, it provides an alternative to traditional single-family dwellings and apartment complexes. Its appeal lies in offering a more affordable housing option while fostering a sense of community.
Such communities provide stability and a sense of belonging for their inhabitants. They offer a more budget-friendly option for homeownership or long-term residence compared to conventional housing markets. Established communities of this type may have a history that reflects shifts in housing trends, economic cycles, and demographics, impacting the social fabric of the location it occupies.
