Mobile Home Living
Is For You
ECONOMY
Retired persons, as a rule, because of sharply lowered Income
are economy conscious, They must seek a way to stretch their
dollars.. Income now Is derived principally, from pensions, re
tirement funds, Social Security. And yet, in making an adjust
ment, there li the desire to maintain a housing accommodation
comparable to their former standards. A mobile home allows
them to do this for here is a form of residence that offers a
new satisfying, exciting way of life.
MAINTENANCE
Upkeep Is minimized In mobile living, a fact which appeals to
retired couples who wish to spend a greater proportion of. their
leisure time on hobbies and recreation. Yardwork and lawn care
Is substantially lessened because of the compact size and layout
of the individual sites, Usually, caretaker service is available
free to the tenants or for a small charge. However, many mobile
home residents prefer to'indulge their green thumb to a limited'
degree and beautify their space by planting shrubs, flowers, and
small trees.
FRIENDSHIP
One of the major attractions of mobile home living for retired
persons Is the friendliness they find in the modern park com
munity. They discover that It is easy to make friends as a result
of the group activity and recreation programs provided by the
park. This factor of participating In social events with park
tenants creates a "neighbor-spirit" that quickly dispels loneliness.
In sociological surveys, mobile home residents reveal that in their
former homes or apartments they did not have this opportunity
to meet such a wide range of friends of similar Interests who
help them enjoy retirement to the fullest.

OWNERSHIP
Many couple, because of limited income and mature age, are
precluded from purchase of a conventional house. A mobile
home permits them to own an attractive residence at a sensible
cost without the problem of being saddled with burdensome
financial commitments. The average contract is only six years,
as compared to the 20-24 years for a conventional dwelling. .
The one low monthly payment covers everything including fur
niture, beds, major appliances and carpeting. '
RECREATION
Accompanying the change in housing needs is a subtle but
noticeable change in preference for recreation. There is now
the desire for social activity of a more subdued nature with
people of similar age levels and similar interests. Most modern
parks provide the type of recreation and planned social activi
ties that appeals to older age groups! dances, community events,
scheduled group functions, cards, hobbies of all sorts, shuffle
board, croquet, swimming pool. The modern park has these
and many more recreational facilities. No other type of resi
dential development can offer so much.
MOBILITY
Probably one of the greatest advantages of a mobile home is
its mobility. Although moved very infrequently, it does possess
this outstanding facility which is not present in conventional
dwellings. At time of initial purchase and at any time there
after that re-locaton is necessary, experienced drivers with
specially equipped trucks are available to do the job at a nom
inal cost.
