Hi, If you are interested in the west coast, there are some great deals right now in the Pasco county area. Shady Hills to be more direct. But a mobile under $60K will need work and most probably be located on an unpaved road for mobiles with land ownership. If you are looking to be in a mobile home park that is 55 plus and over you may find a deal in that price point. Pasco County is a great area and is close to all amenities, including Tampa and Clearwater.

Hi Donna, We are fellow New Englander's lving in Tarpon Springs, FL. We are from the Berkshires in MA and have been here for six years, you won't regret your move. We are offering our 2005 Jacobsen for full time rental (unfurnished) or will be happy to offer a Lease Option! We need to buy a larger home due to in law moving in with us. Our house is in move in condition, open, light and airy. Lovely setting on lake, 2 bedroom split plan with large Master ensuite. Attached garage with plenty of storage and hubby built in a work bench!Very few of these homes offer a garage, usually just a storage shed. Wood laminate flooring in dining/living area, tiled areas in spare bedroom and both baths and entry way. We had many upgrades put into this home. Oak cabinetry and plenty of it! Higher end appliances, smooth top Kenmore Gold stove and Kenmore side by side fridge. Built in pantry. Nice sized closets and linen closets in Master and 1 in hallway by guest area. Large screened lanai that faces West for watching gorgeous sunsets right from your back yard! This park is 5 Star adult 45+ and has gorgeous clubhouse with library, billiards, work out equipment. There is non stop activities, especially during the winter months. Year round beautiful heated pool, hot tub, barbecue area, gazebo, shuffleboard. Not much has been over looked in this 5 star park. Please contact me for pics! We are not able to offer the sale price at what you are looking at though. But I would definitely recommend rental if this is a new experience for you. We rented for a year before deciding what to do as far as purchase. But remember, we are offering a lease option. Tarpon Springs is located close to top rated Honeymoon Island Beach, Sunset Beach, Fred Howard Beach & the famous Sponge docks are a stones throw away. The historical area offers antique shopping and unique gift shops. You would be located approximately 30-40 mins from Tampa International Airport, 20-30 mins from Clearwater and about 2 hours to Orlando. It's a great location! Please contact me at Angelsformom@verizon.net and from there I will give you our phone #, I don't care to list it on a public forum. I have to state that I am a licensed Realtor but I have my license on "inactive status." I hope to hear from you! Sincerely, Kathy & Joe

Hey Donna!!
What seems to be the holdup on your move? You posted your question in April. Have you spoken to any realtors down here in Florida to assist you? Do you have a target date for your move? Or are you still "just looking"?? I would be glad to help you out. There are alot of areas as I stated before that would fit your needs here in Pasco County(Lutz, Land O'Lakes, Wesley Chapel, Zephyrhills, New Port Richey, Port Richey). If you'd like to e-mail me, I can send you some links to available homes for you to view.

FIRST ANSWER

Hi Donna,

I'm doing similar searches for 2 other clients - if you want to send me your email address, I'll copy you on them. It is very difficult for you to do your own searches since it is hard to narrow down the parameters of a mobile home or Manufactured home.

Do you mind WHERE on the west coast you live?
The price range alone will narrow down your options.
Also, just fyi - it would be better to buy if you can, since you'll have tax advantages.
But if you rent, what is the payment you are trying to stay at?
