1. Low maintenance and upkeep needs

One of the best things about owning a park home is that the maintenance is so easy! Think about all the things you need to do for the general upkeep of a traditional home and the money you spend doing so? Tending large gardening and maintaining a 2-level property becomes much tougher as you get older. Take a look around the interior of a modern park home.

2. High quality

Modern park homes are retirement properties built to a very high specification and build quality. They have an estimated lifespan of 70-80 years, although they can last longer if they’re properly maintained. As the years go on, park homes have become more and more luxurious with modern furnishings, state of the art appliances and stylish exteriors that are more energy-efficient than ever.

3. Secure and safe communities

Residential developments provide a very high level of security for their residents. Typically, most sites install security measures such as electric gates and CCTV, providing incredible peace of mind for residents. Park home communities are also well lit, with accessible walkways and on-site managers there to provide reassurance to residents.

4. The community feel

We often hear residents say living in a park home community feels like living in their own private retreat. Park home sites provide a sense of exclusivity and community, unlike traditional housing developments. Most park home residents are of similar age and interests and therefore it provides the ideal opportunity for like-minded people to build a long-lasting friendship. What’s more, as most residents are either retired or semi-retired, they are more freely able to socialise and interact with the local community.

5. Perfect for independence

Retirement properties are an attractive option for those who value their independence and space. Single-storey park homes allow residents to downsize and reduce the amount of time they spend maintaining their property, leaving more time to enjoy life and new hobbies. Most residential sites are beautifully landscaped and designed to make life as simple as possible for residents.
