Home / Lot rents
Average mobile home lot rent, by city
Lot rent is the monthly fee you pay for the land under a manufactured home you own. It is the number that decides whether a “cheap” home is actually affordable — and it varies by hundreds of dollars between communities in the same town. These figures come from our verified index of 55+ communities in Florida and Arizona. Every rent carries the date we confirmed it; no community can pay to change its number or its place in these tables.

What these numbers do and don’t tell you
- Averages hide the spread: in Tucson, verified rents run $138 to $815. Check the community, not the city.
- Lot rent rarely includes utilities, trash, or special assessments. Budget roughly $100–$150 on top until you see the fee schedule in writing.
- Rent history matters more than today’s price. A $400 lot rising 9% a year passes a $600 lot rising 2% within about a decade. Our community pages show what we know; the 20-year budget planner runs the math.
- “Resident-owned” means you may buy a share of the land — different economics entirely. Ask before you sign anything, and use our document checklist.
