Does anyone know anything about the mobile home park? We’re looking for a mobile home and I was wondering about the area? Thanks

It was sketchy back in the early 80's when my brother lived there. You do what you have to when you acquire a wife with a kid and start producing more right away, but even then there were pockets of lawlessness. Luckily he could afford to purchase a home shortly after moving in there, and he got the hell out of Dodge.

Thanks
So are you looking to buy or rent? My mom had a mobile home she had purchased and then rented the land it was on in the Callaway area. Huge lots and nice neighbors. That would be the best scenario IMHO.

Now, is a great time to buy. I just noticed that one of my 8 backyard neighbors (because we live on the biggest rectangle lot in my neighborhood) plus the ones across the street just put their house up for sale today. I live in a fish bowl. 
Go for it! Take advantage of current times. I will venture to say there is no virus in the houses you look at. Good luck.

What about that small unnamed mobile home park along Hermanville Road,, just west of Green Leaf Road? I drive by it a lot and it seems like a fairly calm place. Never seen any news reports about it.
Shoot for a house/townhouse, interest rates are still really low.

I'd live in a mobile home before a townhouse.

You don't want to buy in a park, see the John Oliver piece on it (should be on youtube). You can easily be trapped in that "investment" while the owners of the park bleed you dry.

Harder for the bed bugs to crawl across the driveway than through the walls.

I was thinking noise, if neighbors burn their house down they burn yours down too, etc

Thanks everyone for the ideas and help.
The problem with low priced housing is that while you may not be a dirtbag most of your neighbors will be.
I would rethink the mobile home if I were you.

The problem in St. Mary's is there is no low cost housing. Unless you are on public assistance.
If you were to rent in some of the dumps, section 8 housing, and were not on public assistance you wind up paying a cash price of over $1000 for the same dump that public assistance pays for.
Landlords can get away with because there is a shortage of good housing for under say 15000.
They just have to stay under the price of the better rentals.
Definitely would not by a trailer, resale is a loss, you aren't going to see the trailer appreciate over time, more than not, it will depreciate
Then you have the problem of the lot to park it on. That's where the land owner gets tricky, Some don't allow transfer of the lot with the trailer.
I would also stay away from condos. Anecdotal, but condos don't seem to move as fast as townhomes and single family homes.
