Inside America’s most expensive mobile homes and glitzy beach-side trailer parks where one-bedders can easily go for millions

Million-dollar mobile homes are hitting the market in exclusive beachfront communities coveted by celebrities and the ultra-wealthy.

Real estate prices have soared across the country, especially in California and New York, where they have reached record highs in cities like Los Angeles and Manhattan.

And while a mobile home – often no more than one bedroom and one bathroom – may seem like an effective cost-saving measure, the latest properties to hit the market are far from a bargain.

This includes a $3.2 million, 6,000-square-foot home that goes up for sale Thursday. The property is located in Montauk, a glitzy New York hamlet known for its beaches and scenic views.

The home has two bedrooms and one bathroom and is currently the most expensive active listing in the Montauk Shores mobile home park.

The park has a history of almost seventy years and has seen many celebrities come and go.

Vitamin Water co-founder J. Darius Bikoff, singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett and film producer Karen Lauder are among the famous faces buying up their own piece of property.

The newest mobile home on the market has its own driveway, outdoor shower and a sun-drenched veranda at the rear.

The ad promotes expansion options, including “adding additional bedrooms, creating an outdoor entertainment area or incorporating eco-friendly features.”

Residents in the gated community share amenities including a swimming pool, basketball court and clubhouse.

While Montauk Shores may be the most prominent name on the East Coast, California is home to several upscale trailer parks.

Shark Tank star Barbara Corcoran is the proud owner of a double-wide in chic Pacific Palisades. The real estate mogul spent $800,000 on the property before sinking another $150,000 into it.

A home in the same neighborhood was listed for sale in March for just under $1.6 million. The trailer at 4 Kiki Place features two beds and two bathrooms spread over a modest 1,200 square feet.

The property “offers 180 degrees of unparalleled ocean and mountain views,” according to the listing, made possible by an expansive deck overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

A 30-minute drive along the coast leads to Paradise Cove, which has earned the hard-won title of ‘America’s most glamorous caravan park’.

“It’s the ideal spot for ocean views, beach access and community – all 276 mobile homes here have direct access to Point Dume’s private beaches,” according to the community’s website.

Designer Betsey Johnson once owned a bright pink two-bedroom trailer in the community that was listed for $2 million in 2019.

Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac fame also owned property in the famous caravan park, which she later sold for $5.3 million.

Among the active listings is 101 Paradise Cove Road, which carries a hefty price tag of just under $4 million.

The house features a large terrace, a built-in outdoor kitchen and a covered breakfast bar with ocean views.

Just down the street, 241 Paradise Cove Road was listed for $3,950,000.

It boasts three bedrooms and two bathrooms, noticeably more than the average mobile home, but its claim to fame lies in being on level ground. a more exclusive part of the community, called the ‘Bluff section’.

The property features high ceilings and expansive living and dining areas that flow seamlessly through an open floor plan.

The community is so revered that one of its mentions even appears in Architectural Digest.

The one-bedroom, one-bathroom mobile home at 16 Paradise Cove Road was put on the market for a whopping $2 million. It is billed as ‘a work of art, lovingly created with unparalleled style and attention to detail.’

The house features a bathroom with floor-to-ceiling pink tiles and charming French doors leading from the bedroom to a private patio.

Buyers looking for an extra incentive will be happy to know that a golf cart is included, “to make getting to the beach even easier.”
