Modern mobile home living flies in the face of many outdated stereotypes. Mobile Home Parks are safe, happy communities, and mobile homes are a wonderfully affordable way to live.  You receive the benefits of a traditional home, such as a yard and private walls, but the cost and monthly utilities are far, far less expensive.  When you save so much money upfront, you have the freedom to spend more money on interior design and landscaping!

A great blog I frequent, Mobile Home Living, showcases a lot of fun mobile home makeovers, including tips on rehabbing.  Here is one such story about a man who converted a $500 mobile home into an adorable retro dwelling!

Since the housing crisis, many people have been forced to start over or reevaluate their way of life.  Mobile home communities provide a private home and a yard at an affordable price.  For usually half the price of an apartment, you don't have to share walls with anyone and you can walk directly out your front door to your car.  

One couple in Wisconsin chose mobile home living after losing their jobs, and subsequently their home, in the 2008 crisis.  After trying apartment living for awhile, they missed their freedom and started looking for better options.  What they found was a piece of land with a mobile home on it that needed some fixing up.  In the end they found living in a mobile home had so many of the benefits of a traditional home, but for a cost that was less than their cramped apartment.
