California is known for its iconic mobile home parks such as Blue Skies and Malibu’s Paradise Cove. Luckily, there’s hundreds of similar parks scattered across the great state and inside each one are some beautiful manufactured homes of all shapes, sizes, and styles. This Santa Cruz single wide is a great example of the vintage mobile home jewels you can find.
Realtor.com states that the average home price in Santa Cruz, California is $699,000. That’s a lot of money for a place to lay your head! Of course, Santa Cruz is a beach-side paradise just south of San Francisco, a city with a housing shortage of epic proportions, so it makes sense that home prices reflect that. If you want to live in paradise, you’re gonna have to pay paradise prices.
This Santa Cruz single wide is a great example of the type of home you can expect to find in a California mobile home park. These aren’t your average mobile homes in West Virginia – these homes are often professionally decorated and expertly remodeled for well-to-do families that put precedence on location.
For a mere $174,900 this Santa Cruz single wide mobile home could be yours. Compared to the price of a typical site-built home, your’re getting a great deal for a pretty awesome home. Take a look:
The interior of this 1961 mobile home is as original as one can expect this day and age. It’s a treat for any vintage mobile home fan!
No, this mobile home isn’t perfectly remodeled. In fact, it’s about as original as you can find these days, but it is a great example of the beauty and workmanship of the early 1960’s mobile homes.
The late 1950’s and early 1960’s was the Golden Era of mobile home design and this home tells why. The wood was real, the hinges were metal, and the style was perfect.

The wood ceilings are beautiful and I like the funky retro vibe of the home. I love the outdoor space, no grass to take care of yet there's plenty of little garden areas to putter around in. Then you can spend the rest of your day enjoying the sunshine on the patio area.
