Mobile and Manufactured homes are used interchangeably . Both mobile homes and manufactured homes are regulated by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development ( HUD ). The difference between the two types of dwelling ( structures ) is the date they were built . According to HUD , mobile homes were factorybuilt before June 15 , 1976 , and manufactured homes were built after that date .
Mobile homes or modular home communities are trendy in metropolitan and suburban areas all over the United States , most of these communities are owned by thirdparty investors who rent or lease to the tenant occupants .
Some parks have obtained a California Subdivision Map Act approval and have been subdivided into tracts of small parcels and held in fee ownership by the occupants .

A parcel may be owned in fee title . Fee ownership parks will usually have CC & Rs to govern actions allowed by the property owners . Properties with leased tenancy may have shortterm or longterm tenants . Generally , modular communities are wellkept and provide a quality lifestyle .
