Removing an old mobile home from a lot is a much bigger undertaking than most people expect. Whether you're upgrading to a newer home or clearing a lot entirely, here's what you need to know before the process begins. Start with Permits and Community Approval Before dismantling or removing any mobile home, your very first step is to notify mPark Homes management and consult with your local building and permitting office.

Smoke alarms are one of the simplest, least expensive, and most critical safety tools in any home — but in a mobile home, they are especially important. Here's everything every resident needs to know. Why Mobile Homes Require Extra Attention Mobile homes can be more vulnerable to rapid fire spread than traditional site-built homes. Open floor plans, lightweight construction materials, and in older homes, less fire-resistant insulation and interior finishes can allow a fire to

You've probably heard both terms used interchangeably — but there is actually an important legal, structural, and financial distinction between a mobile home and a manufactured home that every resident should understand.

Homes constructed before June 15, 1976 are technically classified as mobile homes. Homes built on or after that d

Today we celebrate freedom, community, and the place we're proud to call home. Happy Fourth of July from everyone at mPark Homes! A Day to Come Together Independence Day is one of the most cherished holidays in the United States — a time to gather with the people we love, enjoy great food, and reflect on the values that unite us as a nation and as a community.

Why Sewer Care Is Critical in Mobile Home Communities Mobile home plumbing systems can be more vulnerable to clogs and damage than those in site-built homes. Pipes are often smaller in diameter, more susceptible to shifts in the ground, and in older homes, may be made of materials that degrade over time

Gone are the days of writing checks and dropping them in the office. Paying your lot rent online or at a local retailer is faster, safer, and more convenient than ever before. Why Modern Payment Options Matter Managing your finances is easier when you have flexible, reliable ways to pay.
