Mobile Home Parks and Land-Lease Communities

Park communities are extremely popular throughout the United States. People have discovered the easy lifestyle and appeal of RV and mobile home living. Many of these park communities are located in Arizona in the “Valley of the Sun.” These communities are much more than just a place to live; they are year-round resorts. Most, if not all, of these resort communities are age qualified, meaning that at least one person must be 55 or older. Pets are allowed, however, with only a few restrictions. Arizona, with its mild, dry climate, magnificent mountains, and spectacular desert attractions, is a delightful escape from the cold, harsh, and dreary winters of other areas of the country.

There are a number of these resort communities in Apache Junction and Mesa, two small towns within an hour’s drive from Phoenix. The Shiprock RV resort community, with 120 spaces built in a wagon wheel plan on 10 acres, is the newest and largest park community in Apache Junction. The 7,000 square foot clubhouse has an auditorium and stage, a billiards room, card and craft room, an exercise gym, a library, and laundry facilities. The resort features an outdoor pool, spa, putting green, and barbeque area, as well as a variety of activities, such as concerts, dances, and seminars. There is something for everyone in this unique park community, one of the finest RV resorts in the East Valley of Arizona.

Mesa, Arizona has several park communities, offering a variety of options for vacation or retirement living. There is a lot to do in Mesa, including theater, symphony, museums, art, and botanical gardens. Las Palmas, one of the best active adult resort communities, has a huge 30,000 square foot clubhouse. The clubhouse includes a ballroom, fireside lounge, library with Internet access, an eight-table billiards room, six separate rooms for card games and arts and crafts, and a modern fitness center, as well as a pool, spa, and tennis courts. With over 200 interest groups and clubs, a full calendar of activities, both indoor and outdoor, and a Recreation Director on the premises, there is something for everyone at this spectacular park community. It also features gated security, a 24-hour guard on duty, and a community shuttle bus for shopping trips and attending various cultural and sports events.

Park communities can be permanent retirement homes or pleasant vacation spots; they offer you the freedom to do as you like and go where you please. Experience nature at its best, the canyons and parks, the desert and mountains, and enjoy the comfort of your park community home.
