Here's the Street View (hopefully):

They're getting scarcer and pricier.

They're harder to find than 3-5 years ago, but we tried to get one in our neighborhood from HUD. They accepted an owner-occupant offer . . . $48,700. Similar to ours, smaller and without central AC and other updates, and not on water.

Here's an upper end beachfront/Gulffront condo on exclusive Palm Island, accessible only by boat or ferry, at a medium price:

As I've said, there's not as many as three years ago, and the prices are quite a bit higher, but right now there are quite a few on "First Watch", meaning stuff is still working through the system.

Here is one that is "Back on Market" that looks so good it makes me want to jump on it, while at the same time wonder what's wrong with it. I know the area, and it is nice:

Yes, the foreclosures are still working through the system. Here's an older canal/creek/bay/Gulf home:

I'm sure I've gone by it a few times, and could paddle or putt to it.

Those little "trailer parks" near BR&C, and out on Estero Island, have always been pricey.

That's why we bought with the poor folks.

some in your price range

Our friends from a certain other website, who sorta followed us to our Northern home, followed us to Florida this year.

They bought a very nice manufactured home in a very nice, gated park, in Sebring, for $19,000.

It's so secure you can't even get a gogglemap Street View.

our friends bought a double wide in St Petersburg for ten thousand, they do not own the land, the lot rental keeps going up, like over 500 a month, then you have all the other associated bills. also different set of rules apply when you rent the space. my aunt ended up selling a really nice two bedroom for $4000, after paying the rent for several months after she moved out.

Clean, updated, golf & Gulf. Not a bad price in a rising market.

This is very cute, very clean, and would make a great Snowbird home or vacation rental. $800-1000/week rental in season.
