KeysNews reports Carefree RV Resorts, with 61 communities across the nation, is transforming the Sunset Harbor Trailer Park in Key West into Sunset Harbor Community, which will become a no age restriction manufactured housing community with 77 new HUD Code pastel homes. The price of the Jacobsen Homes, built to withstand 180 mph winds, will range from $114,900 to $134,900, and site rents from $800 to $1200. Payments will be around $2,300 to $2,750 a month for land and mortgage, given a ten percent down payment. Carefree, based in Scottsdale, AZ, is installing a new swimming pool, a pavilion with grills and social areas, boat slips behind some of the MH, and is providing better views of the waterways. Current residents will be allowed to remain living in their factory-built homes “as long as they pay the rent,” says Carefree CEO David Napp. MHProNews has learned the majority of the privately owned company’s communities are in Florida—it bought Sunset in 2010—but it also has properties in five other states and in Ontario, Canada.
