How much land per pad is sufficient in a mobile home park?

[John L.]

I've been evaluating a mobile home park with about 1/10 acre of land per pad.  Is this a typical amount of land a resident would expect?

Optimal land usage for a park without getting too high of a density is between 7-12 pads per acre. Anything greater than that can be considered and is really dense of a park. If evaluating something like this be aware that even though it may be grandfathered in...the fire marshal can deem that the homes are too close based on safety concerns and rule that you can’t bring in new homes
