Hearts, Homes and Green Spaces
October 31, 2014
A new university study shows that greener common spaces in neighborhoods create feelings of belonging. Yeah, we already knew that.
Mobile home parks in general, and Hames manufactured housing communities in particular, have more green space including parks, playgrounds and common areas than apartment complexes.
It’s true!
Let’s start at Summit View mobile home park in Cedar Rapids, Iowa which includes:
- pavilions for community events
- 2 playgrounds
- basketball courts
- walking trail
- 9 hole Frisbee golf course
- soccer park
Why would a mobile home park in Iowa provide all this for FREE to its residents? The Hames family believes that green spaces not only make neighborhoods beautiful, they also helps build community interactions, friendliness and safety.
Scientific research has proven what we’ve known all along.
Research has shown that access to green spaces creates connections to nature and promotes opportunities for engagement and physical activity. Playgrounds and parks are developmental necessities that stimulate emotional, social, and physical growth.
All Hames mobile home parks in Iowa have abundant green space. Our manufactured home communities include modern playgrounds, walking trails, picnic tables and places to just sit and talk. Visit Grand View or Summit View for a taste of why so many folks prefer the manufactured housing lifestyle.
