As you probably know, I love home tours and browsing through real estate sites. I especially enjoy scrolling through Craigslist for mobile homes for sale. You’ll find makes and models in every condition and every price range.
These are my favorite Craigslist mobile homes in parks this month. Keep in mind that affordable homes tend to sell quickly so the ad may have been removed since we published the article.

1972 Single Wide inNew Port Richey, Florida for $9900
Retiring to Florida is a popular goal. With a mobile home, it’s a goal that is absolutely in reach for us‘regular’ people that have a regular job and a regular bank account. My 401K is a 101B but I could probably save up $9900 in the next 15 years if I tried hard enough.
(Note: This cute single wideis posted on Zillow and Craigslist. The Zillow link had bigger images so I used it.Home has been sold.
Cute Lakefront Single Wide in Albion, Indiana
This is a lakefront vacation home but I’m including it because itis such a cute property. You pay $12,500 for the 10′ x 50′ mobile home with 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths sittingon an 86 acre lake in Albion, Indiana.
The home has been well cared for and has the original paneling and built-ins. Lot rent is $2700 a year (includes water, sewer, and trash)and the park is open April to October. A pontoon boat and your own dock isa part of the deal!

1984 Liberty Single Wide in Reese, Michigan for $7000
This is a great looking home for $7000 in a park in Michigan. It has 3 bedrooms and 1 bath and you get all the furnishings and working appliances.
Pitched roof, great layout (LOVE those end kitchens!) and obviously taken care of – this is a great looking home. No mention of the lot rent but if I had to guess it would be less than $400 a month.
Some people spend $7000 on a gaming computer (I know one personally and while it is a very nice system I would much rather buy an entire home).Home has been sold.

Nice Single Wide in Gainsville, Florida for $11,500
There are no interior images on this ad but I loved the exterior photo. Look at that water view! For $11,500 (OBO) you could easily fix up the interior if needed though the ad says the home has been very well kept.
This single wide has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. The home sits on a large corner lot overlooking a beautiful pond in a very well maintained mobile home park.Home has been sold.

1998 Double Wide on 0.87 Acres in Lexington, SC for $90,000 obo
This 1998 double wide has been nicely updated. Land in South Carolina is getting expensive thanks to all the people moving down from the north (just like we did – but there are no jobs in WV so we had to go somewhere).
I wish we had enough money saved to buy something like this – I see so much potential!Home has been sold.

Beautiful Double Wide inBelleville, Michigan for $56,000
This double wide manufactured home is gorgeous. The owners obviously put a lot of time, effort, and pride into their mobile home remodel. Not much is said about the lot rent or neighborhood but I suspect this isn’t your average manufactured home community since the garage is attached to the home (most parks don’t allow that).
This home has 2 bedrooms and a den with a walk-in closet so it can be used as a bedroom if needed. Afriend of mine paid $50,000 for her SUV last year. It’s a great ride but it isn’t half as nice as this home!Home has been sold.
