Isn't luxury double wide an oxymoron?

More on the subject,
In Live Lone Star planned communities, homeowners would purchase a new manufactured home - which can range between $80,000 and $150,000 - depending on size and features, then typically enter into a 5-year lease to lease the land where the house would be placed. Live Lone Star's monthly leases range between $550 and $675 per month.Unlike a standard site-built home, a manufactured home is considered personal property, not real estate. Buyers who need financing therefore take out what is called a furniture loan rather than a standard mortgage. Interest rates for home loans are higher, typically between 7.75 and 10.5 percent, according to Bankrate.com.The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was around 5.1% last week, according to Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored mortgage finance company.

@Stealth83 : I believe the older ones were better constructed. If you read current reviews, they are not real great. We have also lived in a double wide with no problems. They look much more attractive now, but I am not sure what building codes they have to follow.

@Stealth83 : Mine was too. We enjoyed it and we're really comfortable there, in Illinois. Our great neighbors were mostly Air Force families and we were very close. Good times.

I guess I would worry since Pearland is a Windy City and I can't imagine living in one of these during Hurricane season. I'm scared of hurricanes in my home let alone a mobile room. They don't make homes like they used too but it does sound like a nice community with affordable housing.

@Txtoast : I thought Pearland outlawed anymore mobile homes in the city limits. If it's at cr127, it floods all the time out there

@Michael1960 : I also thought there was a ban.

@Michael1960 : the address doesn't seem right. 17730 County Rd 127, is quoted in the article.Google comes up with 17730 County Rd 127, Brookside Village, TX 77581.

@Txtoast : I got it mixed up with cr128. This is actually in the Galveston County part of Pearland

@Michael1960 : Ok, thanks. Comments on this are saying it was land purchased
and the buyer came up with the idea of the mobile home community.
Haven't heard of anything else on its planning.

The little airport there is pretty busy, a lot of helicopters seem to stop there to re-fuel and lots of flying lessons. Several in my subdivision have made note of the fact it is so close to the RV park. I guess time will tell.

This is an absolute lie. I don't think Santa Fe is the only place **** off. I live in Hockley and they are behind my house right now. They said they would leave trees. We have been lied to, had our homes destroyed from there clearing and grubbing of 82 acres of 80 year old pine trees, all the wild life has been displaced. They have broke our water main. They wont even pay to have dust suppression done. They try and say that we are against low income family's. Well we are all low income in this area, there are people that already live in trailers they are walking all over. Living crammed like a can of sardine is not Luxury, there is not enough room for any of these amenities they are speaking of. The Landing in Pearland is located directly behind a land fill next to the Friendswood Airport. I guess that's Luxury for us low income people. My mortgage payment is less than they are purposing the chattel at 10% interest and the 4500 square feet they will rent you for $700 a month. These developers build these parks in areas were they know they can get away with it, then once people bring there trailer they will start increasing the rent to the point that the family cant afford it anymore. They will evict them and they wont have they money to move there trailer. In 5 or 10 years they will have a park full of trailers, sell it and then it will turn into a crime ridden dump. There are 7000 low income home being built less than 1 mile from the Micklers development. Cypress Green and Jubilee Community. these are stick built homes that you own your own land. That what these "good people" need. Not to be preyed upon by trailer park property investors.

@Michael1960 : They dont care its behind a landfill and next tot he airport. Thats luxury living? It floods behind my house all the time to and it right next to the 100 year flood plan. I think the government is funding these projects. No body in Santa Fe or in the Tomball area wants these so called parks. Its just a big scam.
