Isle of Palms Mobile Home Park

Isle of Palms Mobile Home Park sits in St. Petersburg, Florida, and you'll find 163 homes spread out over about 13.5 acres, with both single and double wide options, many of them nicely landscaped, and you'll see a mix of old and newer places-some even built before 1976-some with peaked roofs, lap siding, or multisection layouts, and most of them ranch-style, and floor plans can be as small as 560 square feet with one bedroom and one bathroom, but there are also homes with two or three bedrooms and different square footage, plus a listing at 7400 46th Ave. N., #106, so folks usually seem to find something that fits them, since there's even some vacant lots for new homes, and there's an on-site sales office that handles these inquiries, which makes it a bit simpler for people looking to move in or buy. The park stays age-restricted, so you'll need to be 55 or older to live here, and it does allow pets, which is good for people who want to bring their animals along, and you'll find several amenities in the community, like a clubhouse where they host planned social activities, a library, a billiard room, a shuffleboard court, wifi throughout, laundry facilities, and off-street parking for both residents and their guests, and the whole place is covered with street-wide paved roads, making it easier to get around, and the landscaping is kept up nicely. The community's led by manager Patricia Braun, and there's supposed to be a congenial working relationship between the residents and management, which seems to help keep things smooth, and there's always something going on for people wanting to stay involved, since there's activities and even proximity to things like the St. Petersburg Pier, Tyrone Square Mall, Topgolf, and The Dali Museum. The manufactured homes come from different builders, and some are move-in ready, while others are used homes you can purchase, usually with serial number identifiers.

There's not much detailed information about services, care types, or special programs, but the basics are there for seniors wanting affordable living, a sense of community, and the freedom to bring pets, all while being near some of the area's popular attractions.
