| Mobile Home Residents Buy Park
EXETER, N.H. -- The residents of an Exeter mobile home park have purchased the land under their homes in the largest deal of its kind in New Hampshire. The Exeter River Manufactured Housing Cooperative bought the Lindenshire Mobile Home Park last week for $15.6 million. The 89-acre park is home to 392 households. Chris Clasby of the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund said the sale gives residents security because they won't have to worry about the park being sold and will have control over their rents. The loan fund provided the group with a $3 million second mortgage. .
Prefab - So Fab - at CA Boom Show & MOCA
Modernist Prefab homes and their architects will be at the CA Boom Design Show this weekend at the Santa Monica Airport's celebrity jet runway Barker Hanger to exhibit their designs and even take orders for your own home. These green-friendly houses are finally gaining notoriety as a stylish and sound alternative for today's home construction. The architectural elements of prefab homes are made off-site, oftentimes using recycled or sustainable materials such as bamboo, and delivered with little assembly required to the homeowner's site. The end result is a customized home building project that sees a reduced amount of construction waste, substantial materials that can withstand heavy transportation and installation, and the smallest environmental footprint a house can make. But, perhaps most of all, you'll have a cool looking house that's fit for celebrity neighborhoods and museums.
Boise mobile home residents upset about having to move
BOISE -- Several dozen people who now living in a Boise mobile home park say they'll soon be out on the streets after learning the land their homes sit on is about to be sold. The owner of the Thunderbird Mobile Home Park on Amity Road is selling his land to a developer who plans to build 72 homes there. That means 35 mobile homes that are now on the property will be moved or destroyed. Park residents and developers met last night to discuss their concerns. "I personally bought this place in November and I took the last of the money that I had in savings, had upgrades done to it, plumbing and roofing and had it painting and two months later I am finding out this is the sale," said Nick Rex, resident. "We've been talking to Boise city to find out what kind of assistance they could offer and what we can do to ease the transition," said developer Brad Klahr, Tri-fecta Land Holdings.
