I am not a fan of the HOA. For one thing, the board insists on keeping a gate near my home nailed shut because vandals will get into the park. The entrance to the park is a few yards down. I doubt that burglars will only use the gate for entry and not the main entrance. My husband and I are senior citizens without a car. We have to do a lot more walking to get to the bus without the use of the gate and it is unfair. I am about to have hip replacement surgery and it takes me two hours to get to the store. It would help a lot to be able to go through the gate. In addition, the management is wishy-washy about towing cars. Some cars get towed in the clubhouse parking lot and others do not. It depends on who your friends are, I guess. Two guys who constantly park there are not assets to the park. They used to be drug offenders and their kids grew up in foster care. The father threatened to kill my daughter when our puppy's barking woke him up from a nap. He lied to management and said the dog barked "day and night" and yet the dog lived in the house and slept under my covers. These are great people to grant special privileges to. Their cars are never towed but my son's was. For years, management had a dog park near the old tennis court. You unleashed your dog, the dog trotted across the lawn and then went out the hole in the back fence and onto the street. You did not notice this until the dog had already made his escape. Now that it is used as a park with picnic benches, the hole has been fixed. The back lot is now used for the dog run but if management comes in, they will leave the gate open so your dog can get out. Management (P & K Condo Management) tells me that if the dog is not trained, to not use the run. My dog IS trained but it hadn't occurred to me that the management would be so discourteous as to leave a gate open with an unleashed dog standing in front of it. I've always hated living here, but unfortunately, we are stuck. We'd have to pay more to live anywhere else and we can't afford it. I feel trapped and as if the HOA and management are the enemy. For me, Mountain Shadows Mobile Home Park is nothing but a prison. I would not recommend living here. read more

Mountain Shadows Mobile Home Park - On a walk at Mountain Shadows Mobile Home Park. - Mobile Home Parks Near Me - Escondido, California

8/20/2019, I recently sold our home in Mountain Shadows Mobile Home Park. I recommend Mountain Shadows Mobile Home Park because it is a safe place to live and affordable for families with or without children and adults. Mountain Shadows has 209 homes. Most homeowners own both their home and land. There are some properties which are rentals. The City of Escondido owns several mobile homes and leases them out to residents who qualify. P & K Property Management manages and collects the monthly combined monthly HOA and utility bills. Most of the residents pay their monthly HOA and utility bill online. Resident's monthly HOA fees for July 2019 are $179 per month. HOA fees include use of common areas, and trash pickup. Average winter combined utility bills including HOA fees, gas, electric, water and trash is around $330 for most residents. Summer combined HOA fees and utility bill for most residents using their central air average 24/7 range from $450 or higher. The community Club House was recently just remodeled. Our residents enjoy reserving and using the Club House for private parties. The pool and hot tub are maintained and clean. The common areas have nice playgrounds for children, one combined tennis and basketball court. There is also large area to walk your dogs. The manager and assistant groundskeeper keeps this park looking great. Most of the public and private schools in Escondido are within 5 to 15 minutes driving distance. The City of Escondido has some of the best public and private schools in California. All of our public high schools like San Pasqual High School, Escondido High School and Orange Glenn High School will prepare your children for college. Shop around and compare family owned mobile home parks. Mountain Shadows also has a contract with a local towing company that removes vehicles illegally parked in fire lanes 24/7. Our association has a security company that performs security checks around the clock to discourage crime. We are a mixed community of people from every nationality living side by side. Most residents in our community look out for each other. Every community has pro's and con's. There is no nirvana that I know of on this planet. Mountain Shadows welcomes families with or without children and adults to join our community. Manufactured and mobile homes are not a great investment. Manufactured homes don't increase in equity at the same rate as a traditional house or condo. However, manufactured homes are more affordable for a lot working and retired adults. You can purchase an older fixer upper mobile home that needs remodeling for about $150,000, used homes in good shape range starting at $250,000 and up. New manufactured homes here start around $350,000. Our family has lived in Mountain Shadows for over 14 years now. Our child graduated from San Pasqual High School and attends college now. I highly recommend Mountain Shadows to anyone who is looking for family friendly community that is safe and affordable. read more

This is the best mobile home park in all of San Diego!! We love it here, the neighborhood is safe, and friendly!! My grandparents move here in 1978 when my mom was only 14, I just moved in a few doors up from my grandparents about a month ago. We absolutely love it, so peaceful, and quiet where we are in the park. Our kids can play outside, and we all keep an eye out for one another. You can tell which people don't actually live here, because they drive extremely fast... the only thing I would recommend is that a security coded gate be placed at the only entrance/exit so that we don't get the random people coming in and out at all hours of tge day and night. Like any neighborhood, we get random people doing drug deals in our common area parkings spots, and there is one registered sex offender that his mother lives here, and I've seen him occasionally even though there is a restraining order against him. There is ine specific house that is obviously a "drug house", and the local druggies and homeless folk ride their bikes up to the house at all hours of the day and night. The sooner that house is busted again, and dealt with...the safer we will all be!! Of course we don't let out children travel down that way, and nobody should let their children either considering the woman that lives there with her two children allows the registered sex offender to hang out there as well. Every neighborhood has it's pros and cons, the few cons I have listed. I wish that management would get rid of the trash, so that this neighborhood could return to the safe place it once was. Other than that, we love our home, and the rest of our neighbors!! read more
