FAQs

What is the different between a mobile home and a manufactured home?

Both mobile homes and manufactured homes are regulated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The key difference is the construction date and building standards. Homes built before June 15, 1976 are classified as mobile homes, while those built after this date are considered manufactured homes. Manufactured homes are built to the HUD Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (HUD Code), carry a red HUD certification label on each transportable section, and are constructed in a factory-controlled environment before being transported to their final location on a permanent chassis.

What is lot rent and what does it include?

In a land lease community, residents own their home but rent the land it sits on. This often saves buyers tens of thousands of dollars compared to purchasing land, allowing them to invest, save, or use the funds elsewhere. Lot rent is paid monthly to the community owner and typically includes property taxes and access to community amenities. Homeowners are generally responsible for utilities such as electricity, phone, internet, cable, and lawn care, while water, sewer, and trash may be included in some communities. The community owner maintains the common areas. For specific details, your sales agent can provide additional information about the lot rent for each property.

Most communities are pet friendly but have rules and restrictions. These may include limits on pet size, weight, breed, and the number of pets per household, as well as leash requirements when outside. Some communities also offer designated dog park areas. Ask your agent for specific pet policy details.

What is a 55+ community?

A 55+ community is an age-restricted neighborhood designed primarily for adults aged 55 and older. These communities often offer amenities such as clubhouses, pools, fitness centers, and organized activities, along with residential guidelines that help maintain property values and create a safe, friendly environment.

Typically, at least one resident in each home must be 55 or older, though exact rules vary by community. Younger family members may usually visit for limited periods, but permanent residency for those under 55 is generally not allowed. For specific requirements, consult your sales agent.
