Looking for a home in a residential park continues to grow in Victoria as it provides cost effective and affordable accommodation to those wishing to downsize in a resort-style community, while still having all the benefits of owning your home and having total independence.
There are also many tourist parks which provide dedicated areas for residential living that may allow relocatable homes or caravan and annexes be set up in their parks.
Residing long term in a caravan park or residential village has many advantages as ongoing maintenance is usually less that an established home and they provide a safe and secure environment and a sense of belonging to a community.
Residential parks provide common areas, a range of facilities and amenities for the personal comfort, convenience and enjoyment of residents, however these can vary considerably between parks.
When considering living or renting long term in a caravan park or selling your home and moving into a residential park is a big step – it is a good idea that you seek independent financial and legal advice and familiarise yourself with the provisions of the Residential Tenancies Act 1997.
