My wife and I live in a manufactured home in California and are thinking of retiring to a manufactured home community somewhere less expensive. Central Florida sounds nice, but my wife is concerned about hurricanes damaging mobile homes. My view is that there are thousands of people living there in mobile homes, many for decades now, and only a tiny number get hit. Also, I believe that a new manufactured home is almost as hurricane resistant as a site-built home. Can anyone living in a manufactured home in Florida share any opinion?
Answers:
Floridian here. While I don't live in a manufactured home, I have spent most of my life in Florida. Hurricanes do their worst damage on the coast. There are many, many lovely adult communities in Central Florida that take less abuse from hurricanes and tornadoes, because by the time the storms come this far inland, they have been drastically reduced in force. Not to say that it can't happen. The last two years were quite devastating. But on average, Central Florida suffered the least damage. Look in the area between Alachua (Gainesville) and Orange Counties (Orlando) for some lovely communities.
