La Mesa Trailer Park is a 32-space land-lease community on Jessie Avenue in La Mesa.
La Mesa Trailer Park is a roughly 32-space community in La Mesa, 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.

La Mesa Trailer Park sits on Jessie Avenue, a residential street tucked off La Mesa’s main commercial corridors. It’s a small community with roughly 32 spaces, the kind of park where the same neighbors have often lived side by side for years.
What it’s like to live there
Jessie Avenue keeps La Mesa Trailer Park a step quieter than parks fronting El Cajon Boulevard, while still leaving shops and services within a short drive. With around 32 spaces, it’s an intimate community rather than a large complex. No amenities were listed publicly for this park, so ask management directly what’s available on site. To compare it against other La Mesa parks, compare mobile home parks across San Diego County.
The monthly cost picture
La Mesa Trailer Park operates as a land-lease community, so buying a home here means you own the structure and pay monthly rent for the space it sits on. A published space rent figure wasn’t available, so confirm the current rate with the park office before you make an offer. Budget beyond rent for property tax on the home, utilities, insurance, and park fees. Our guide to how mobile home space rent works in San Diego covers what typically drives that number.
Who it fits and how ownership works
A quiet, small park like this often suits buyers looking for stability and a settled community over a larger, amenity-driven complex. Because it’s land-lease, your equity builds in the home itself, not the ground it sits on, a tradeoff worth understanding before you buy. That distinction affects both your monthly costs and how the home resells later.
What a lender will and won’t finance here
At La Mesa Trailer 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.
