We have a manufactured home in Silver Lake. Ours is 1280 sq ft and it is an open floor plan. The only issues we have had over the 3 years we've been here is the windows (which we replaced. If the original windows are still in the home, get rid of them as your energy bills will skyrocket) and the fact that they dent easily if you have a lawn mowing service that hits them. Make sure those pipes have been replaced and the fittings they used are metal and not plastic, otherwise they will leak and burst. We just recently replaced out kitchen cabinets and are currently putting in a wood floor to replace the carpet.
The trees are full grown and there is a lot more space in between the houses than on the south side. However, there are more elderly residents here so if you are a younger Villager, you'll find it hard to locate someone your age in the neighborhood.
