Welcome to Trailer Home Village Cooperative, a small resident owned Salem Adult Community offering manufactured homes for residents age 55 and older. Located in Salem, New Hampshire, this established community includes just 24 homes.

Trailer Home Village offers something a little different from many manufactured home communities. The residents formed a cooperative and collectively own the land beneath their neighborhood.

This gives homeowners a voice in their community while providing the benefits of manufactured home living.

In addition, the community offers a convenient Salem location near shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and major highways.

Resident Owned Salem Adult Community

One of the most important features of Trailer Home Village Cooperative is its resident owned structure.

Unlike a traditional manufactured home park owned by an outside investor, the homeowners are members of a cooperative that owns the community land.

This type of community is often called a Resident Owned Community, or ROC.

The cooperative structure gives members an opportunity to participate in decisions that affect their neighborhood. Members elect a board and help guide the future of the community through the cooperative.

Trailer Home Village became a resident owned community in 2011.

For buyers comparing manufactured home communities, this ownership structure can be an important benefit to consider.

Comfortable Homes in a Salem Adult Community

Trailer Home Village Cooperative contains only 24 manufactured homes. Therefore, buyers may find limited inventory within the community.

Homes can vary in age, size, style, condition, and updates.

Depending on the property, buyers may find features such as:

• Convenient one level living
• One or two bedroom floor plans
• One or two bathrooms in select homes
• Open kitchen and living spaces
• First floor laundry
• Central air conditioning in select homes
• Porches or outdoor sitting areas
• Storage sheds
• Carports at select homes
• Paved driveways
• Off street parking
• Low maintenance exterior finishes

Some older manufactured homes have also been replaced with newer models over the years.

As a result, homes within this small community can vary quite a bit. Buyers should compare the age, condition, improvements, and features of each property.

One Level Living at Trailer Home Village

One level living is one reason buyers search for homes in a Salem Adult Community.

Manufactured homes often place the kitchen, living room, bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundry on the same level.

This can make everyday life easier and more convenient.

A smaller home may also require less time to clean and maintain. For buyers leaving a larger property, this can be a welcome change.

Instead of maintaining unused rooms and a large yard, you can choose a home that better fits your current lifestyle.

A Small Salem Adult Community

With only 24 homes, Trailer Home Village Cooperative is much smaller than many manufactured home communities.

For some buyers, that smaller setting may be appealing.

The community is located along a private road with paved streets and off street parking. Homes are arranged within an established residential neighborhood.

Because there are only 24 homes, properties may not come on the market often.

If you are specifically interested in Trailer Home Village, keeping an eye on new listings can be important.

Manufactured Home Cooperative Living

Buying within a cooperative is different from purchasing a traditional single family home or a manufactured home in an investor owned park.

The cooperative owns the land within Trailer Home Village. Homeowners own their individual manufactured homes and can become members of the cooperative.

Therefore, buyers should understand the cooperative structure before making an offer.

There may be membership requirements, community rules, monthly charges, and an approval process.

Buyers should review all current cooperative documents carefully. This includes the bylaws, rules, fees, membership requirements, and other important information.

As your REALTOR, I can help you review the real estate side of the purchase and gather the information you need before making a decision.

Benefits of a Resident Owned Community

A resident owned community can offer several potential advantages.

Instead of an outside park owner making every major decision, cooperative members have a voice in their neighborhood.

The cooperative elects its own board of directors. Members can participate in decisions based on the rules and bylaws of the community.

This can create a greater sense of involvement and stability for homeowners.

However, buyers should still carefully review the cooperative's financial information, rules, fees, and responsibilities before purchasing.

Every cooperative is different.

Convenient Salem Adult Community Location

Trailer Home Village Cooperative offers a great location for buyers who want to stay close to Salem's many conveniences.

The community is located near Tuscan Village. Therefore, shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and services are just minutes away.

Interstate 93 is also nearby. This makes travel throughout Southern New Hampshire and into Massachusetts convenient.

Route 28 provides even more shopping, dining, medical offices, and everyday services.

You can enjoy a smaller residential community without giving up easy access to the things you use every day.

A Salem Adult Community for Downsizing

Trailer Home Village Cooperative may be especially appealing to buyers who want a smaller and easier to manage home.

Perhaps you are selling a larger house with rooms you rarely use. Maybe yard work is taking too much of your free time. Or, you may simply want a more manageable home.

A manufactured home can provide comfortable living space without the size of a traditional single family property.

One level living can also simplify your daily routine.

For the right buyer, downsizing can mean gaining more freedom rather than simply giving up space.

Newer and Established Manufactured Homes

Although Trailer Home Village is an established community, not every home is the same age.

Older manufactured homes can be replaced with newer models. As a result, buyers may occasionally find newer homes within this established neighborhood.

For example, newer homes may offer modern kitchens, central air conditioning, updated heating systems, improved insulation, and more contemporary layouts.

Older homes may also have been updated by previous owners.

Therefore, buyers should consider more than the age of the community when comparing properties.

The age and condition of the individual manufactured home are especially important.

What to Know Before Buying at Trailer Home Village

Buying a home within a resident owned cooperative is different from buying a traditional house.

Before making an offer, buyers should review:

• Current cooperative fees.
• Cooperative membership requirements.
• Community bylaws.
• Community rules and regulations.
• Age and occupancy requirements.
• Pet policies.
• Application and approval requirements.
• Cooperative financial information.
• Services included with monthly fees.
• Utility responsibilities.
• Financing options.
• Home inspection results.
• Recent comparable sales.

Buyers should also review the home's major systems and overall condition.

A professional home inspection can provide valuable information about the roof, heating system, plumbing, electrical system, windows, appliances, and other components.

Financing a Home in a Resident Owned Community

Financing a manufactured home can work differently from financing a traditional house.

However, resident owned communities may have financing options available through lenders familiar with manufactured housing and cooperative communities.

The type of financing available can depend on the home, its age, condition, cooperative requirements, and the buyer's financial qualifications.

Therefore, it is helpful to speak with a lender who understands manufactured homes before beginning your search.

This can help you understand your budget and financing choices before you find the right property.
