Living In A Trailer Park: Pros, Cons, And Stereotypes

I don't judge a person because they live in a trailer, Or do I judge a person that drives old cars. I judge a person by what they have in there heart. Some people choose to live a humble modest lifestyle. A place you think is comfortable to hang your hat is cool with me. You got trash in upper or middle class hoods.

I've actually admired trailers since I was a child which was in the late 70's & early 80's. My ex sister in-law tried to tell me that anyone who lives in a trailer or trailer court is "trailer trash" & I cannot believe that. As long as it's well-built, well-insulated, clean, has windows & a front & back door, & has a washer & dryer hook-up in it, I would love to live in one, especially if it's out in a place where there's trees around!!!

[@brianhoward3947]

I love my trailer. I can have it moved if I get tired of being in the park. We've had our trailer moved once from another town. We've been in this park for 5 years, it's not been bad. Lot rent has not increased in the 5 years we've been here. The park is privately owned, a husband and wife, own it. They say they have no intention of increasing lot rent unless water or trash price goes up. Our lot rent is 185 a month, including water and trash. We don't have a mortgage, so.... can't live any cheaper than that...lol

[@alim3390]

I lived in a trailer part since I was 6 I’m now 14 and I just moved out 2 days ago. I enjoyed my first like 5-6 years there. After a while we met new people and stuff who also lived in the park. Specifically a couple. They where crazy, they did a bunch of witch craft and shit. Now don’t get me wrong not everyone was like this. But these two people where just absolutely insane. The lady would say she died and came back to life. She was the “chosen one”. Once we met these people my family and our life went downhill. They did things to hurt us and stuff. But if we had never met these people our experience living in the trailer park would have been great you know? I’m more than happy that we are out now. It’s been long enough...

[@ambermiller6804]

I love my trailer Its just like a regular house to me

[@theresemalmberg955]

I became a trailer park resident back in 1991 because I was being squeezed out of the rental market yet could not afford house payments and upkeep. In my opinion, if you choose to go this route, KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. I could write a small book on all the things I've experienced--having to relocate due to park closure, among other things; and my advice now is that if you have any other housing options, don't move into a park. Yes, it beats living under a bridge. And yes, you have more privacy, etc. But you are at the mercy of the park owners and it is so easy to end up being taken advantage of. You actually have less rights than if you rented an apartment. You can also find yourself trapped, especially if you own your own home. You see, as long as your home is physically on their property, you are responsible for lot rent whether you live there or not. Many parks have restrictions on subletting and selling can be a nightmare. For example, the park-owned house next door to me sat empty for almost a year before new tenants moved in. This is a brand-new double-wide. So don't assume your house will sell quickly--it may not and meanwhile you still have to pay lot rent on top of whatever mortgage or rent payments you have at your new place. Moving is another nightmare--it's expensive as all hell and trying to find a place that will accept your home, well, have fun. And don't even think of just walking away from it. The park owners can and will go after you legally.

[@douglasporter1730]

I have personally witnessed them evict entire trailers from lots and when the people can’t afford to move their trailer to another park they take it from them and kick them out of it. Owned or not

[@daisyflowers9334]

Thank you for a great video. I live in one of the many corporate owned parks in my area. It's one of the larger mobile home parks, more like a regular neighborhood. The common areas are maintained by a full time maintenance man and we have a full time park manager. Most of these parks require a background check, a credit check, and absolutely no felonies are allowed. We have a cute and comfortable 3 bedroom, two bath home, two sheds, and a nice yard. We are baby boomers who can have a nice place to live for way less than apt rent, and own our home which was only 23,000 dollars and is paid off. There are also cons, but you find those no matter where you live. This home was a practically brand new repo, that we bought from the park at cost. Of course they make their money through the park rent, and we get a low cost place to live and call our own.

[@natalieshannon7659]

Now as for living in a "trailer" (manufactured home) Or double wide trailer vs. a traditional home. The pros was that in my manufactured home, it was all one floor. The laundry room was right off the kitchen. I could do laundry and cook dinner without a problem. I could take the laundry to different rooms with out lugging it up steps. Having all one floor is what makes manufactured homes great for the elderly or handicapped people. There were a lot of elderly and handicapped people in my trailer park. Many elderly people moved to the trailer park that lived in traditional homes. They wanted to down size. In my new traditional home, the washer/dryer is in the basement. The major con were the walls. My manufactured home was new when I bought it (2915) and it had theses graphite walls. The had a permanent wall paper like pattern on them. (So you couldn't change it) Also the walls were so thin and weak! They got holes in them very easily. I grabbed a built in towel rack too hard and it put a huge hole in the wall! When my daughter wrote on the walls, it never came off! Those walls are very difficult to paint over. In my traditional home, you got regular walls.

[@piecesofbread1836]

Hmm an apartment really is only good if it's around $2,500. A trailer can be bought around the same, and can be larger and no neighbors right outside along with yard space. I might just consider it

[@robingarrett3171]

If you are ready to buy consider an older rehabbed mobile home. Many of them have replaced the original walls with drywall and even if it is not every room it helps a lot.

[@SpfySpaceJam]

I'm 19... turn 20 in a few days. I'm gonna save up to get one. The parks here, the homes range from 9k to 50k😊 buying them but of course rent is higher. I'm considering it better than a apartment

[@AbigailMay]

Definitely! good luck!

[@daisyflowers9334]

What's cool about owning a mobile home is that you can pay it off fairly quickly, then you own it outright and then all you owe is the park rent, which is a good spot to be in.

Mobile homes in a mobile home park are a comfortable lifestyle. I've owned two of them and the nice thing is you own the home without owning real estate. So you can co what you want in your home as you wish. I've been considering buying another one in the south. I've been looking at 3 bedroom, two bathroom homes for the possibility of sharing it with other people. I agree with what you are saying about having your own yard and having more freedom than living in an apartment. I agree with you about having a mobile home in high wind areas, not a good idea. I have been checking out areas of the country where that would not be a big concern. I have also considered buying a nice travel trailer and living in that. There are parks where you can rent a lot for them also. The nice thing about them is that if you need to move quickly, you just hook and book. Since I have a new pickup truck it would not be hard for me.

I live with 5 people so

[@justme6515]

There's good and bad people wherever you live. good park management will kick druggies and partiers out. What I like ( where I live) is the maintenance. only a couple hours to do the dishes, laundry, floors and cut the grass and the rest of the weekend is yours. For sewage and water, anything above the ground is your responsibility, under ground is the park. A house could cost you 10,000 and up to fix any underground problems. rent and property taxes go up too, so trailers are still more affordable. they are cold. the further away from the furnace the colder like living rooms and kitchens. poor insulation in the floors. finally, it dosen't matter about tornadoes and earthquakes. trailer, house or apartment, if one hits, your screwed lol. also, its usually harder to get a mortgage and insurance for mobile homes.

[@timcoker4685]

I live in a trailer park. Bought my trailer in 2001 for $4000. I paid cash for it and my lot rent was $100. The trailers here have large lots and are not close together. I have a very large lot with a nice back yard next to the woods. Lot rent is now $150 a month. So for $150 a month I have a pretty nice place to live. My trailer is a 1984 12X65 two bedroom 1 bath. I have been able to save a shit load of money living here and will retire at 58 years old this year.

[@rbear4574]

Lot rents pay for your water and sewer and in some parks it also pays you trash pick up, your lot rent is not that high. I pay $220. per month and they remove the snow every winter too. Snow removal can cost as much as$500. per storm and a bad winter can cost alot of money.

[@AbigailMay]

That's cool. My water is separate though, but it's very low. Trash pick up is free. They plow the streets but I have to clear my driveway.

[@scottshingleton384]

Still cheaper to have your trailer on your own land if you own both outright. Property taxes are lower than lot rent, trash is less than $100 every 3 months, I have a well and septic so no water or sewer bills.

[@joeyfoureyes98]

I'm about to sign a lease on a trailer for my senior year of college. $275/month but I have to tell everyone I live in a trailer park. Actual apartments run $600 in the college town so I can't go wrong.

[@Donkeyearsa]

I would mostly agree with your assessment. I lived in a very small park for six months. The trailer that i rented was quite run down but the rent was very cheep. Apartments in the area where going for about two times what i was paying in rent for the trailer that i was living in. I moved out when i finally closed on the house that i bought.

[@albertsandoval775]

Beats living on the streets.keep it up and clean and it's ok for as long as you need too

[@gipszjakab7437]

I live in a house but I heard that people who live in trailer parks around here pay close to $600 a month for the lot rent. 2br apt is double that price so it is still better to live in a trailer. If I had to live in a trailer I would just buy a land and put the trailer on it. The trailer is cheap, you can save up cash for a used one and have a mortgage on the land. Once the land is payed for, you can save up money and get construction loan to build a house on your own land.

I think in most trailers (the fairly newer ones anyway) the insulation is very good. Actually my family member lives in a trailer that's probably from the 70s and it's always cool in the summer and nice and warm the winter. Poor insulation can be a problem with trailers but I don't think it's usually the case. My trailer is new and the insulation is great

I lived in Sherwood Forest in Florida in a trailer but it had a porch and utility room with washer and dryer.Screened in porch and car port deck outside.I owned it I remodeled it put in wood floors throughout new bathroom and redid the kitchen.The park had a guard at the entrance three pools they mowed my lawn.I paid $465 Lot rent.The outside had bricks around underneath to hide it looked like a foundation.I bought the trailer for $6,000 put in $2,000 and sold for $18,000.Was not expensive to live I live in New York now and always have just had the trailer for a few years my rent up here is very expensive so in a few years I head back down and live cheaper.

[@yamtatsu6031]

Abigail May okay I don't know how I got here but I just wanted to say that I would rather live in my car before I live in a trailer park or even near one. Before I say this I would like to say that no I'm not saying that people who live in trailer parks are all bad. I'm just saying it's a weird place. Yours might be different whatever trailer park I've ever had The Misfortune of being near. Cons: Playing crappy music at 2 a.m. in the morning . Most people in general could ignore the racism but I've always noticed that in places like a trailer park there's always what I can only refer to as the worst family there. It's like that family unit is the king of the rats. Any attempt made to attack the Wet rat pack leader will be in vain. As everyone else will defend them even if that family the same one bullying them. I'm sorry but there are no real pros to living in a trailer park or the projects. Either way good video keep doing your thing. And my number one reason for not wanting to live near one is I don't want a cat fly through my window again while I'm driving. I'm dead serious I was driving and a cat got hurled on the other side. O.O . The worst part about this story is not the fact that I almost got in a car accident because of this. It's the fact that I kept the cat because it was too scared to go back there . So now when I have friends over my house they asked why my cat is so defensive about being picked up. Then I just tell him he has PTSD because he's been used as a baseball a few times in the past .

[@AbigailMay]

Sounds like a crazy place. I've heard some really bad things about trailer parks and TBH I was a little nervous about moving into one. So far the people I've met are all really nice and I feel very safe in general. Most people here just kind of keep to themselves, and I know that other parks are very different than mine.

Back in the mid 80's a good friend of mine lived in a trailer park and people could be brutal. Any confrontation, and they happen in junior high a lot, and people would remind him that he lived in a trailer park. We all know the name they use. He started to kind of shutdown and not stand up for himself knowing what they would eventually say. I think the 80's were more bullyish though. He kind of grew big so people did not tease him eventually but what of others? People can suck at times. I've never lived in a trailer park but I have been in some nice ones.

I’ve seen people that own trailers get them repoed for back lot rent. Parks don’t play. Sort of like storage units. Don’t pay loose your stuff

This video helped reinforce my prejudice against people who live in trailer parks. Thank you for that.

Thank you Abigail. :)

Yup , people need to see how fortunate they are.. if you take care of your home and have low debt not a slave to a mortgage that's a blessing... I am looking at mobile parks as investment. PS , rethink the room mate thing. Once they have residency you have to evict them if there is a problem. , but I guess there are good tenants, that's what he or she would be. Make sure you make a lease if you decide to have a tenant as well as write out everything in thd lease...

In my trailer park it's mostly elderly people and yes, a few druggies on the far side. (Definitely don't walk that road when exercising) but also quiet a few family's with only 1 child. I my self am a teen and all the teens in the park are really close.

Heat it in cold weather a/c in summer. The only way to live is to own the lot as well as the trailer

[@ingamelevi1929]

I've been considering living in a trailer park for awhile based on price alone.

[@lostintranslation2985]

I'm actually planning on making a purchase soon

[@simeon7328]

It was cheaper alright instead of buying a real estate....It's the land owners that will prevent other prospectors into buying a trailer home because of the high monthly rent of the land. Eventually when profit is down these land owners starts selling the entire property just like some apartment owners they started raising for profit & when people moved else where apartment owners starts selling everything to the bank these profiteers cannot even maintain their property & slapped by government taxes choose to gamble

[@alwaysskeptical7221]

My buddy lives in a single wide, and I just moved to a decent sized modern home from an apartment. I should have jumped to something like a trailer or cheap old house in a bad area instead of renting for 15 years. Now I look back at my time in an apartment as a prison.

[@johnduran8102]

do you not have central heat and air?,,i lived in an old 60's era trailor in the 80's and it was bad ass,,i loved it,,and it was very comfortable to live in,i had central heat n air so I loved that old trailor..the landlord had put in four phone post at the front and back on each side and built a roof and porch over the trailor,im from texas so even with the heat, bitter cold, strong winds and hail,it was safe.

[@AbigailMay]

I mainly use an oil furnace for my heat, but I also have a wood stove. I don't need the heat a lot yet because it's not super cold yet. And I had to have an air conditioner installed over the summer. The furnace does an amazing job keeping the place warm.

[@johnduran8102]

ok, still looks like a nice place....and the cat aint too shabby either

[@sullivansongz]

Great and helpful and informative video - I used it because at school we are reading 'Looking for Alaska' and one of the characters grew up on a trailer park. Just one thing: at one point you use the term 'white trash' as if it were an established objective term whereas it is in fact hugely offensive.

[@datswhatiwastrynatellyall7062]

I know I’m kind of late. But I’m researching to move into my first mobile home. How much do you pay a month alll together to live there???

[@kaywhite210]

I lived in a trailer park for 33 years. Now I want to move intoo another one. A have a mini camper a convertion from a pop up. And I want too hook up another trailer to make a mini double wide mobile home. Have a chain link animal fence as well for my cats. I love trailer park living. Ken

[@chrize1]

Insulation is all dependent on quality of your home. U can upgrade it as well.

[@alvaroprieto2092]

Isn't there a difference between Trailer Parks and Mobile Home Parks?

[@ambroseoneill6212]

no

[@LSGproductions713]

People call them mobile home parks because it sounds better.

[@ZE308AC]

You need a carpet and some soundproof your walls with studio foam
