Curious about Florence Gardens? Reach out any time — we’re glad to help.
Florence Gardens is a friendly, established 55+ community in Florence where the big advantage is built right in: you own the land. It’s a 179-home community of manufactured and park-model homes, first established in 1971, with a real sense of community and a surprising amount to do. You own your lot, so there’s no lot rent — making it one of the more affordable, low-cost ways to own a single-level home in the area, with the security of owning your dirt rather than renting it.
The big deal: you own the land
In a lot of manufactured-home and park-model communities, you own the home but rent the lot — and that lot rent can climb over time. At Florence Gardens, you own your land. No lot rent, and a real asset that’s yours. For many buyers, that peace of mind is the whole reason to choose a community like this.

Where Florence Gardens sits
Florence Gardens is in Florence, in Pinal County, roughly midway between the Phoenix and Tucson areas. It’s a quieter, small-town setting with wide, paved streets and scenic desert views, while still being within reach of shopping, dining, and medical care. For buyers who want a peaceful, affordable place to settle — and don’t mind being a bit farther from the big city — the location is part of the appeal.
Age rules
Florence Gardens is an age-restricted 55+ community. As with most 55+ communities, the exact rules on who can live there — and any limited allowance for younger residents — are set in the community’s governing documents. Rules like these can change, so before you buy we’ll confirm the current requirements for you.
Homes at Florence Gardens
Florence Gardens is made up of manufactured and park-model homes, most of them multisection with peaked roofs — single-level, low-maintenance, and set on lots you own. Because these homes vary by age, size, and how they’ve been finished, condition and price range widely, which is great for a budget-minded buyer. We’ll pull the details on any home you like and help you compare.
Buying a manufactured or park-model home? A few things we check. Age and condition, the roof and cooling, how any add-on or Arizona room was permitted, and the title all deserve a close look. That’s what the inspection period is for — and it’s where having us on your side pays off.
