Residential park living is unique. The parks can provide a location and facilities you may not normally be able to afford to buy and you may feel safer in a community living close to others.
Residential parks provide sites upon which relocatable homes are placed as well as shared facilities for use by tenants. Long-stay tenants either rent a home and a site, or rent a site only and own the home on the site. The home may be a caravan, cabin, park home or motor home. The parks can be mixed use with holiday-makers or they can be dedicated to long-stay.
