Moving to go and live in a mobile home park community is an increasingly popular housing choice for many people in Michigan. There are currently over 1,300 community mobile home parks in Michigan, which is the 3rd highest in the USA, behind Florida and Texas.
Mobile home parks have at times colloquially been known as ‘trailer parks,’ although some now perceive this term as carrying negative connotations. With that said, they are different from RV parks on a campground.
