Living in mobile homes remains the affordable alternative. Here I’ll show you the top ten reasons Cordova Estates continues to be your affordable mobile home alternative.
Let’s face it, many of us can’t afford to buy a normal home, even with today’s declining home prices. Many people are losing their homes due to bad loans. Another alternative is to buy a mobile home, or as is the preferred term today, a manufactured home. There are quite a few mobile home parks (communities) in the Santa Clarita Valley, California. Canyon Country has most of them and the main park community is Cordova Estates.
1. Well managed with beautiful gardens.
2. Central location, friendly for commuters.

When it comes to space rental, it is linked to the city’s consumer price index. This January it was 2.9%. During the last six years it has fluctuated between 2 and 5%. When I was working for merchants, finding an old house in Cordova Estates was like finding gold. We had the old mobile home removed and replaced with a top of the line manufactured home with all the amenities. Once inside, you wouldn’t even believe it was a manufactured home.
Some of the most favorite options were; Completely dry walls, baseboards, upgraded 2 “blinds, window sills, upgraded kitchen appliance package, upgraded light fixtures, corian countertops, tile backsplashes, porch and trekking deck steps, wood railings and brick baseboards.
There are a couple of family parks with lower space rent, such as Royal Oaks and Sand Canyon, but Cordova Estates is the most popular.
