Best Senior-Friendly Mobile Home Parks Near Orlando

Did you know that Orlando was recently voted THE best place to retire in all of the US? It really isn’t hard to see why. Not only does Orlando have some of the best theme parks, music venues, and fishing spots in the world, but it also has a relatively low tax rate compared to the rest of the nation! And while Orlando might be a great place to retire, that doesn’t necessarily mean its retirement communities are affordable for everyone. In fact, we took a quick peek at some Orlando listings on Realtor.com and noted that most 55+ community homes averaged around $350,000. Yikes! So, what does that mean for seniors living on fixed incomes? That you can’t move to Orlando and live your best retirement life? Of course not! You can, in fact, enjoy community-style living (for a fraction of the cost) at a mobile home park! Here are the BEST ones in and around Orlando!
