Eleven licensed mobile home communities in Gainesville, holding 2,334 lots. Hidden Oaks is the largest at 461, then Palms Of Archer at 441, Oak Park Mh Village at 347 and Lamplighter Mobile Home Park at 273.
Those eleven communities hold essentially all of Alachua County’s licensed mobile home capacity. The county has twelve parks in total and eleven of them are here.

A university town buys differently
Gainesville has a permanent housing shortage driven by a student population that turns over every year, and that reaches all the way down into the mobile home market.
Two things follow. First, all-ages communities here have a genuinely wide buyer pool: working people, graduate students, families priced out of rentals. Second, you will get interest from investors who intend to rent the home out rather than live in it.
Investor buyers are not a bad thing. They tend to move quickly and they rarely get emotional about a kitchen. But they price off the rent the home will produce, not off what it would be worth to somebody living in it, and those two numbers can be a long way apart.
Knowing which kind of offer you have in front of you is the difference between a good sale and a quick one.

Eleven communities is not many for a city this size
With just over 2,300 lots serving a metro area of this scale, supply is genuinely tight. That supports what you can ask.
It also means recent comparable sales inside your own park may be months apart, so an honest valuation has to work from the county and adjust for lot rent, age restriction and how quickly the community approves a buyer.
That adjustment is most of the work. It is also the reason a general real estate agent will usually decline the listing rather than get it wrong.
Ready to see the number? Fill this in and we will do the analysis and walk you through it.
We produce the analysis before anything else
Fill in the form and we will call you, ask about the home, and put together a full Comparative Market Analysis: what comparable Alachua County homes have genuinely closed at, what is competing with yours right now, and a recommended list price with the reasoning written out so you can push back on it.
Free, no obligation, and the numbers are yours whether you list with us or not. Then judge the two ways to sell properly.
What it costs
A flat $2,500, paid only when the home sells. Nothing up front, nothing at all if it does not sell, and no percentage of the price.
The agreement runs 30 days rather than the six months most brokers in this business write. Six months protects the broker. Thirty days means we have to perform, and around 80% of our listings go under contract inside it.
What we do across those thirty days
Professional photography with drone coverage. A written listing in English and Spanish. Syndication to twelve platforms where mobile home buyers actually look, which is not the set a general agent would reach for.
Then buyer screening, negotiation, and park approval handled for you rather than by you. Every week a written performance report showing views, impressions, calls, texts and showings, and how the listing is doing against the market.
Closings are handled entirely online. Here is our process from start to finish.
Before you call anybody
The questions we get most covers what comes up first, and why we only do mobile homes explains how we ended up narrowing to this rather than doing a bit of everything. That focus is the point of our brokerage side.
Not every home in this part of the state is in a park. We also work mobile homes in High Springs and mobile homes in Chiefland, where almost everything sits on private land.
Call (727) 201-0189, 9am to 6pm Monday through Friday, or call or message us whichever suits.
Start with the free market analysis. No obligation, and the numbers are yours either way.
