Manufactured housing communities are neighborhoods first and properties second, and the couple who manages one ends up knowing just about everyone in it. Many park owners live far away or own several communities, so they rely on a resident manager couple to be their eyes, ears and hands on the ground.

Job listings by nature are temporary. This is why a job search can’t be a one time situation. If you really want to find the perfect couples position, you have to watch what becomes available over a period of time.
We can’t predict the future job listings in this section, but if you want to see the types of positions you can expect over time, we suggest you take a look at the archived jobs. These jobs are not currently open, but we keep the titles and descriptions available, so that you can get a better feel for the jobs that do get posted in this category and/or location.
The work blends people skills with practical upkeep. Office duties often include collecting lot rent, processing applications, enforcing community rules, keeping records and helping with home sales or move-ins. Out on the property, there are roads, water and sewer lines, common areas, a clubhouse or pool, vacant lots to keep tidy, and the occasional frozen pipe or overflowing drain. Many couples split the work along those lines, with one partner in the office and the other on maintenance.
These are usually on-site jobs. Depending on the community, the housing may be a home in the park, an apartment, or a free lot where you can place your own manufactured home or RV. Some positions include utilities. Communities vary widely, from 55+ parks to family neighborhoods to parks with RV sections, so read each listing to see what the job involves.
When you apply, show you can be firm and fair. Experience with rent collection, conflict resolution, basic water and sewer repair, or managing apartments, RV parks or storage facilities all transfers well here.
