Chat with the residents of Park Plaza in Fridley, Minnesota
This community is an inspiring example of the power of mobile home park residents banding together with one voice for a common goal. When the men and women of Park Plaza found out that the park was being sold, they realized they could lose everything. Without the money to relocate their homes, they would be uprooted with nowhere to go. As a result, families, couples and individuals would be left desperately scrambling for a place to call home.
But this community did the unthinkable. With the aid of a foundation whose purpose is to help struggling mobile home parks, they banded together to form a co-op. They borrowed the money they needed to buy out their park. And the result is a democracy that has drastically improved the lives of everyone who lives there.
Near Fridley are several gorgeous local and regional parks with camping, fishing, canoeing, hiking, etc. This is a beautiful area for that crisp, cozy, fireside camping kind of vacation. If your family is headed that way this fall, take a moment to stop by Park Plaza. Then chat with the residents and find out how their leap of faith and bonding under pressure shaped and beautified their community. We’re confident you will walk away inspired.
Take a gander at Chateau La Salle
If you are interested in checking out some mobile home eye candy, get yourself to Chateau La Salle. Inspired by the French countryside, it will forever change your perspective on the potential for beauty and luxury that mobile home parks have. Gorgeous details at every turn make you realize just how important the details are. In addition, breathtaking landscaping gives a reminder of the importance of beautifying the park. The amenities available to residents of Chateau La Salle serve as great ideas for ways to improve what your community has to offer.
Located in San Jose, California, the nearby attractions are practically endless. Topping the list is the Winchester Mystery House, a quirky mansion with crazy architecture, and a haunting spirit to boot.
