So you’ve heard the terms ‘Park Model’, ‘Trailer’, ‘Mobile Home’ and ‘Manufactured Home’, and it is true they really are – just like other RVs. While most models are designed for short trips, park models are designed to stay put for months or years at a time. Essentially, park models are unique travel-type RVs designed to provide accommodations for recreational camping or seasonal use, cozy cabin style.

What You Need To Know – Top 10

  1. Park Model ownership is affordable! The average new home costs $40,000. Plus, there are used homes available at even more affordable prices. You can even pick the lot your home will sit on if that is a viable option.
  2. Buying a park model is easy – unlike purchasing a stick-built home, buying a park model is as easy as buying a car. There are no property taxes since you are in a land-lease agreement, just renew your license plate decal annually and you are good to go!
  3. Park models are well-built. These 400 to 500 sq. ft. homes are generally built locally and always built inside, requiring they pass some of the most stringent wind and weather testing.
  4. Want to make sure your costs are covered? Sub-renting is an option. Guidelines vary by community.
  5. Worried about what you’ll do all day? Cove Communities’ lifestyle programs guarantee there will be no lack of activities. We love to say, be as busy or relaxed as you like! The modern RV resort offers social events, educational seminars, pickleball, and fitness programs throughout the season.
  6. Traveling is a part of who you are, we get it. Living in a private community ensures you always have courtesy security patrol keeping an eye on your home while you are away.
  7. Enjoy the benefits of a well-planned community. Our amenities are included in your monthly site rent. While most Cove properties have swimming pools, fitness centers, and clubhouses, others offer; restaurants, hot tubs, fishing, boat access, sports courts, golfing, water features, and more.
  8. We pride ourselves on our customer service. The Cove team offers unbeatable service before, during, and after the sale.
  9. Unlike renting, when you make an investment in your home, you will get to reap the benefits of a park model investment through the appreciation of your home.
