We live in a free-standing small house 7-8 months of the year. It's considered a condo for which we pay quarterly fees (very reasonable). There is a community pool, tennis courts, dog park, volley ball court, and playground. All outside yard maintenance (mowing, tree trimming, etc) is taken care of, even though there's very little "yard" to take care of. There are common areas and some common parking spaces.
The other 4-5 months, we drag our "mobile condo" around behind the truck to see America. The last two summers, we have stayed put in a 55+ RV park in North Carolina. Otherwise, we stay in regular or 55+ RV parks, state parks, national parks for 1-14 days at a time, before moving on to the next place. Some years, we go as far as the west coast (Washington, Oregon and California), other years it's to Utah, Arizona, Montana, etc.
I'd really like, in a few years, to settle down to two places.....North Carolina in the summer and Florida in the winter...in 55+ RV parks or mobile home parks. I really love children, I do, but it's so nice to swim in a pool without hearing "MARCO...POLO" screamed at the top of their lungs for hours at a time and not getting run down by kids on bikes when I'm out walking (I can get out of the way of Old Farts in golf carts...)
