Florida manufactured home communities offer one of the best retirement lifestyles available at relative bargain prices. You may choose from resident own communities including co-ops, HOA subdivisions, or condominium associations as well as a wide variety of land lease communities. While still called mobile home parks in the state statutes, these communities offer far more than the trailer parks of yesteryear. Join me for my outlook on these communities in 2025 as well as some of my musings on the past year.

This is my experience in a Florida manufactured home community that was in the path of Hurricane Milton. As it turns out the big danger arrived before the hurricane in the form of tornadoes. Hurricane Milton made landfall on the West Coast of Florida late in the day on October 9, 2024. It crossed through Central Florida and exited across the Space Coast the next day. This is my story and my observations from preparation through cleanup and includes input I have received from parks across the state.

Florida manufactured home communities offer the benefits of traditional retirement communities at a price that is still affordable. You can choose from 55+ or all age communities. Gated communities are common in larger Parks. These are almost identical to traditional HOA communities. Smaller Florida mobile home parks provide more intimate settings yet still offer basic amenities like clubhouses and swimming pools.
