Own a home herefrom $25,000

A manufactured home is the last honest path to owning in San Diego County. We've been selling them out of North County since 1947 — new homes off the factory line, and pre-owned homes already sitting in good parks.

Pre-owned homes updated weekly

Looking for something already standing? We list pre-owned manufactured and mobile homes in parks across the county — often the fastest way in. Tell us your budget and preferred city.

How it works

From permits to keys

Most dealers sell you a home and leave the hard part to you. We handle the whole sequence in-house, so there's one company to call when something needs answering.

Choose

New from the factory or pre-owned in a park. We show you both, with real numbers.

Approval

Financing lined up and park application submitted, so nothing stalls later.

Permits

HCD permitting and site prep handled by us. This is where most deals get stuck.

Delivery

Transport, set, level, tie-down. Utilities hooked up and inspected.

Keys

Final walkthrough, paperwork signed, and the home is yours.

Why AMH

Three generations of this

American Manufactured & Mobile Home Sales has been placing families in North San Diego County homes since 1947 — one of the oldest manufactured home dealerships in Southern California, and still family-operated by Joseph Arroyo.

That matters more than it sounds. Park managers know us. HCD knows us. When a space comes open in a community you want, we usually hear about it first.

Bonsall & Vista, California

  • A+ rated with the Better Business Bureau. Twenty-plus years on file.
  • Authorised Cavco dealer. Factory pricing on new homes, not a middleman markup.
  • Permitting done in-house. You aren't left chasing county offices.
  • All-age and 55+ communities. We work in both, across the whole county.
  • We list your existing home too. Selling and buying can happen together.
  • Straight answers on timeline. A realistic move-in date up front, not an optimistic one.

Financing

What you can actually afford

Manufactured homes don't use ordinary mortgages. They have their own lending programs, and which one fits depends on whether your home sits on leased space in a community or on land you own.

That distinction changes your rate, your term and your down payment — and it's the single thing most buyers get wrong before they call us. Tell us your situation and we'll give you the range you're working with before you fall in love with a floor plan.

Start with a budget conversation

What we'll need to know

  • Whether you're buying into a park or placing on your own land
  • Rough budget, and whether you have a down payment ready
  • Which cities or communities you're considering
  • All-age or 55+
  • Whether you have a home to sell first

No credit pull to have this conversation. We'd rather know early whether we can help.

Service area

Where we sell

Based in Bonsall with a sales lot in Vista, we cover North San Diego County and up into southwest Riverside County.

Questions

Before you call

Can I finance a manufactured home in California?

Yes. Manufactured homes have their own lending programs, separate from standard mortgages. Which one fits depends on whether the home sits on leased land in a park or on land you own. We walk you through the options and connect you with lenders who specialise in manufactured housing.

Do I have to own land to buy a manufactured home?

No. Most of our buyers place their home in an established community and lease the space, which is why a home in San Diego County can start around $25,000. If you already own land, we can also handle a placement on your property.

What does "from permits to keys" actually cover?

Everything between choosing a home and moving in: park approval, HCD permitting, site preparation, transport, set-up, utility hook-ups and final inspection. You deal with one company from start to finish.

Are these homes only for 55+ communities?

No. We sell into both all-age and 55+ communities across North San Diego County. Tell us which you're looking for and we'll show you what's available in each.

How long does it take to move in?

A pre-owned home already in a park can close in a matter of weeks once park approval comes through. A new home ordered from the factory takes longer because of build and permitting time. We'll give you a realistic date up front.

Can AMH sell my existing mobile home?

Yes. We list and sell pre-owned manufactured and mobile homes throughout the county, including homes in parks where the space stays with the buyer. Call us for a valuation.
