Residential Parks are also known as manufactured homes, lifestyle communities, land lease communities and Part 4A parks. They have evolved from caravan parks and cater specifically to older people. Residents buy their unit, and pay site fees to the owner of the land. Some have lots of facilities, similar to retirement villages. Many units are not able to be practically moved. Contracts, fees and conditions vary from village to village.
