- stcredzero 8y agoIf only there were trailer parks or other cheaper housing options around here. There's one in Milpitas.
- chipotle_coyote 8y agoThere are several large ones in Sunnyvale and San Jose, too. But even mobile homes are expensive in Silicon Valley by the standards of most other places; at this point, $150K would be a steal, and prices approaching $300K aren't uncommon -- and monthly land rental fees in the park can easily be more than the mortgage. (For instance, a listing I just pulled up on Zillow is a reasonable-ish $155K for a 3br/2ba manufactured home in Sunnyvale, for an estimated mortgage of just over $600 a month...and a rental fee of another $1600 a month.)
- masonic 8y agoIt's the YIMBY developers that are destroying mobile home parks here, including the two closest to me right now (on El Camino near Poplar, and the former Blue Bonnet complex at Fair Oaks and Evelyn).
