What is a Residential Park Home?
A residential park home is a single-storey property built specifically for full-time living. These homes are constructed to meet BS 3632 residential standards, which means they’re energy-efficient, built to last, and comfortable throughout the year. They offer the benefits of detached bungalow living within quiet, well-managed communities.
Unlike holiday accommodation, residential park homes are intended for permanent residence. They’re placed on privately owned plots within a residential park and are often located in secure, peaceful areas with a strong sense of community.
At EKOS Homes, our park homes for sale are located across the UK. Each development is designed for those aged 45 and over (with some for those aged 50 and over) who are looking for a simpler lifestyle. Whether you’re thinking of buying a park home to downsize or relocate, our properties are ideal for anyone seeking comfort, independence, and low-maintenance living.
