Welcome to the NextGen Mobile Home Park, where high design meets practical living all within a standard 40' x 125' lot. Forget what you thought you knew about singlewides. This 75' x 16' marvel delivers 4 real bedrooms (1 king, 3 queens), split-function bathrooms, and a Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired open plan  wrapped in a private garden courtyard that turns every home into a sanctuary.

This isn’t an “affordable” compromise. It’s the future of Build-To-Rent: high utility, low overhead, and unmatched tenant appeal.

💡 Why It Works for BTR:

🛏️ 4 Legit Bedrooms, 1 Story, 0 Waste

One king and three queens, no tiny offices pretending to be bedrooms. This layout hits the sweet spot for roommates, extended families, or renters with flexible space needs. More heads in beds = more revenue.

Each of the three queen bedrooms has its own wardrobe-desk-bookcase combo built-in. The king master bedroom pays homage to Thomas Jefferson's alcove concept with each side getting its own wardrobe. Just across the hall is office space for this bedroom.

🧱 Frank Lloyd Wright Flow, Not Floorplan Fatigue

The living + dining space flows like a Usonian classic NOT like a builder’s “open concept” where the kitchen is part of the living room. There’s form, function, and flow. Tenants notice.

🧻 Split Bathrooms = No Bottlenecks

Toilet/sink in one room, shower/sink in another. Multiple people can get ready without collisions or conflict, a major plus in shared housing.

🌿 Privacy by Design, Not Expense

Forget fences and setbacks. Homes turn perpendicular to the street, using one blank wall to form private courtyard zones between units. Zero-view intrusion. Tenants get serenity, not sidewalk stares.

🍳 Kitchen That Respects Your Couch

Cooking happens in a real kitchen with a door with a connecting side butler's pantry for prep mess. Your living room stays a vibe, not a ventilation challenge.

🎥 Built-In Home Theater, Not Neck Crank Central

TV belongs in front of the couch, not over a fireplace. Prewired projector wall = plug-and-play for immersive movie nights. Design it right once, and every tenant wins.

🚗 Carport That Actually Does Stuff

Skip the faux garage. A 3-car carport with:

  • Bulk storage

  • Outdoor kitchen

  • Bistro zone

It's cheaper, cooler, and 10X more useful. Tenants don’t want a blank box, they want space that works.

🌱 Living Walls, Not Dead Fences

Hedges define space, soften edges, and give green relief. Way better than the prison feel of fencing or blank siding. Cheaper too.

TL;DR for Investors:

  • Max ROI per lot

  • Turnkey tenant appeal

  • Designed for privacy, flow, and function

  • Zero wasted space = higher yields

  • Looks good. Lives better.

This isn’t just housing, it’s high-efficiency livability wrapped in a private courtyard. And yes, it fits on a standard mobile home lot. Welcome to the new gold standard for Build-To-Rent.
