10 Great Craigslist Mobile Homes for Sale

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.

I hope I can be fortunate enough to find a beautiful and affordable home in a great setting like this when I retire! 

1972 Single Wide in New 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.

This is a lakefront vacation home but I’m including it because it is such a cute property. You pay $12,500 for the 10′ x 50′ mobile home with 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths sitting on an 86 acre lake in Albion, Indiana.

1984 Liberty Mobile Home - top Craigslist mobile homes for sale in May 2017 (3)

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.

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).

Beautiful Double Wide in Belleville, 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. A friend 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.

  1. I found your site a month ago after buying my mobile home outside of Daytona Beach. I was disappointed by “settling” for a mobile home and planned to save my money for 3 years to buy a home. After I spent the entire evening reading your post I had an entirely different future plan. I love my little park and the security I feel here. I paid $5,000 for my home that had new flooring and kitchen. What a steal. The only drawback I see is the lot rent. In July rent will be $550 which includes water and trash. Not bad when one bedroom apartments cost $700 up. However, when you are on a fixed income and lot rent increases every year and you do not get raises it is scary. Viewing the transformations of these homes makes me want to stay here but the lot rent scares me. Your site however keeps me motivated to stay.

      Hi Debbie!

      Congratulations on your new home! Park rent is becoming a huge issue all across the nation. There aren’t many protections for tenants when it comes to lot rent (at least not in a lot of places). Still, you’re likely paying less than $800 a month for all your utilities and housing expenses (power, water, cable, etc) and that’s a pretty reasonable price for your area. FL is a very popular place these days!

      I’ve been told that there are certain sentences that landlords can use in their leases that allow them to increase lot rent during the lease term (instead of at the renewal). By making sure the lease doesn’t allow an increase without a proper notice or in between renewals you can maybe protect yourself a bit more.

      I wish you the best!

  2. Love the curved counter in the Reese MI single wide. There are a couple of MH communities close to me that have homes with garages. They are newer communities with newer homes all double and triple wide.

  3. I love what can be done in a mobile home. I’m working fixer upper. It’s a lot of work well worth it .

  4. I really enjoy this site. So much great info and ideas. I retired and moved from the Calif Bay Area to the North Calif area and now currently live in a 55+ manufactured home community. I love it and my house! The only draw back is space rent, but the good things here outweigh that issue. Keep the great ideas coming and the photos.

  5. I’ve enjoyed your website and many of the photos and improvement plans you and your readers have offered. Thanks so much! I regularly use this site to find answers for myself during this period of time while I look for a new home. Believe me, you perform a much-needed service! But I hope it is OK to bring attention to one requirement I saw given in your “Best Of 2017” article, which here that in Oregon and most of the Western areas I’m familiar with, is not the case. Here, attached garages are THE thing, in parks or not. Actually I do wish more information from the West could be included in your wonderful website, especially the prices, zoning, taxes and mortgages found here. I have seen so many sad cases of folks who move here and expect prices to be approximate to those of the state they left. Or even find prices that range greatly from Eastern Oregon to Western Oregon (it’s a BIG state). And most of all this info I’m offering here will also hold up in Washington and in Alaska, and is gathered my own reading, my own experiences, and a recent house and/or land search following a sale of my home in a large city. With the current market for an “average 3/2”, w/garage, and as a rule, in a semi-rural environment priced at a range from $80,000 for an older, 20+ yrs. (harder to mortgage & insure) home in need of updates, to $300,000 for home not older than 3-4 years with all codes met, as well as requirements of the mortgage company, placed on perhaps a .05 to 1 acre of land. In my very small town not too far from the ocean, where a shopping trip with lunch to the “big city” requires an all day adventure, and where our local groceries can be half again as high as city groceries and it will cost 10 cents a gallon more (at least) to fuel the car, living here in one of the most beautiful places in the US can absolutely be a challenge. Without proper self-education, a move here can be a disaster! It is a great place to vacation, as you generally receive the best of all we have to offer. Living here might be a big mistake. So I just wanted let your readers know that while the rules in their state seems likely to exist everywhere for good reasons, it is best to do your homework before packing up the U-Haul.
    Thanks for all you do by bringing MHL to us, Crystal.

      Thanks for the info! I could use your knowledge for the West Coast states! I do understand it’s a whole different world out there but I can only write about my experiences and knowledge of the Southeastern states.

      I could never imagine paying your real estate prices but at the same time, you guys make a lot more money than we do so I guess it all evens out.

      Thanks again!

    Great issue! I saw a nice mobile home very near the home town (Reese, MI) I grew up in many years ago. It’s time to think about moving back! Thanks so much for the ads!

  7. Fantastic. What a tour Crystal. Pure entertainment.

    I do the same thing, but have never tried Craig’s List
