La Palma Mobile Estates is a roughly 78-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.

La Palma Mobile Estates sits on Palm Avenue in the San Ysidro area of San Diego, with roughly 78 spaces. It’s one of a handful of manufactured home parks along this stretch of Palm Avenue, a corridor with a long history of mobile home communities.
What it’s like to live there
This part of San Diego is close to the border crossing, with easy freeway access via I-5 and I-805. Because so many parks sit within a few blocks of each other here, residents often have their pick of nearby shopping and services. On-site amenities at this specific park aren’t published, so confirm with management. See how it compares to other options when you compare mobile home parks across San Diego County.
The monthly cost picture
Like the other parks on this stretch of Palm Avenue, La Palma Mobile Estates operates on a land-lease basis: you own the home, and you pay rent for the space. The actual rent figure isn’t published, so ask the park directly before making an offer. Budget for property tax on the home, utilities, insurance, and any park fees in addition. More detail is in how mobile home space rent works in San Diego.
Who it fits and how ownership works
Buyers drawn to this corridor of San Ysidro are often looking for an affordable path into homeownership close to the border and public transit. Just remember that land-lease ownership means your equity builds in the home, not the land.
What a lender will and won’t finance here
At La Palma Mobile Estates, 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.
