Helena Mobile Park is a 150-space land-lease park on Coronado Avenue in San Ysidro, San Diego.
Helena Mobile Park is a roughly 150-space community in San Diego, in central San Diego County. It is land-lease, so you would own the home and pay rent on the space underneath it.

No current space rent figure is published for this park, and that number changes what you can afford more than the asking price does.

The monthly cost picture
Helena Mobile Park operates on a land-lease basis, meaning you own the home and pay rent for the space beneath it. The current space rent isn’t published, so confirm pricing with the park before making an offer. Add in property tax on the home, utilities, insurance, and park fees when you budget.

Who it fits and how ownership works
A mid-size park like this often suits buyers who want a sense of community without a huge complex. The land-lease structure means equity builds in the home, not the land, which matters for long-term planning.
What a lender will and won’t finance here
At Helena Mobile Park, the land stays with the park. Buyers often look at home-only loans for that setup. HUD’s Title I program can also finance a manufactured home as personal property, including a home placed on a leased lot, when current HUD, lender, park-lease, and borrower conditions are met. A real-property mortgage, including FHA Title II, typically needs owned land and a recorded foundation conversion, which this park does not provide. Ask each lender, in writing, which programs they will consider for the exact home and this park’s lease. Land & Home SD refers buyers to independent professionals; we do not approve loans or quote terms.

FAQs

Will I own the land under my home?
No. This is a land-lease park, so you own the home and lease the space.
Can I get a mortgage for a home here?
A conventional or FHA Title II real-property mortgage is usually unavailable at Helena Mobile Park because you would not own the land. Home-only loans are common. Title I personal-property financing can apply on a leased lot if the lender, HUD rules, and the park’s lease allow it. Get those answers in writing before you offer.
