Today you can buy a two-bedroom, two-bath new manufactured home for $79,900, according to thenownewspaper.com. Crestway resident Don Johnson says “The difference between that and an apartment is that you get to cut your grass, you step on grass, you sit on your deck, you wash your car in your own driveway, and you plant your flowers,” Johnson said. “In that sense, (it’s) hard to give up and move into an apartment where you can’t turn your music up (or) watch a movie.” The sense of a community derives from a center where residents create their own activities with social committees, and a swimming pool, as well as the usual neighborliness of tending gardens and lawns, and cooking out, as MHProNews understands. Johnson: “We have a little dog, a lot of people walk their dogs, you know, you run into the same people at the same time every day. It’s a good feeling.” ##
