On July 15, the Encinitas City Council voted to allow the owner of a mobile home park on 101, The Sands, to convert the rental lots to individual ownership. The Sands will now offer buyers the ability to buy a mobile home west of 101 within walking distance to the beaches and own the land too.
The final parcel map for the Sands mobile home park conversion was approved by the Planning Commission on May 7th, and now the state’s Department of Real Estate will have the final approval of the standards for the mobile home park conversion as early as August.
The Sands will convert the park’s 56 individual spaces of land at 1624 N. Coast Highway 101 into resident-owned plots. Lots at the park range in size from 700 – 750 sq. ft. The Sands Residence Association represents approximately 40 residents at the park and was formed in an effort to negotiate with the park owner.
Barring any problems with the final approval, the opportunity to own both a mobile home and a lot at the Sands should be available soon.
