• Local golf and bowling clubs
What makes park home living so appealing?
If you’re new to the concept of park home living, you might be wondering what sets it apart from conventional property ownership. The advantages are considerable, particularly for those entering retirement or looking to downsize without sacrificing quality of life.
Affordability without compromise
