Oceanside, California 92054
You asked what the property is worth. The honest answer has two halves: here is what the public record actually contains, and here is the part that no data source can tell you, including the paid ones I use.
This is a model estimate produced from county records, not an appraisal and not a listing price. The range is the provider's own confidence interval, and a spread of roughly $66,000 is the model telling you it has limited local evidence.

One field settles the character of the property. The county assessor's own map reference for this parcel reads MOBILE HOME. That is not my inference, it is the label the assessor applied.
This is the more useful half, because the absences are consistent and they all point the same way.
A conventionally financed home carries a dated sale price, a mortgage history, and a lien record. This unit carries none of them, which is what you would expect if the coach is titled through California HCD rather than recorded as real property. In that arrangement the home is personal property and the land underneath it is leased, so ordinary real estate paperwork never gets created.
That is why the valuation above should be read as a wide indication rather than a number to rely on. An automated model anchors itself to nearby recorded sales, and in the county record there are none to anchor to.
The home sold on 26 August 2011 for $77,000. Against today's estimate of $219,053 that is 184% growth, about 7.2% a year for fifteen years. This home has appreciated, not depreciated.
That is not an accident and it is worth understanding, because it is the whole economics of the property. In a rent-controlled park the value of the home is driven less by the age of the structure than by the gap between what housing costs locally and what the space rent is capped at. A low, legally limited pad rent in coastal San Diego County is a valuable thing to hold, and it is the buyer of the home who inherits it. That spread is what has been appreciating.
Two honest qualifications. August 2011 was close to the bottom of the housing crash, so measuring from that date flatters the rate and I would not project 7.2% forward. And the mechanism cuts both ways: if space rent ever rose toward market levels, the same logic that built this value would take it back out.
I ran the address through a paid rent model, which returned $3,200 a month. I do not believe that figure, and the reason is visible in the comparables it used.
| Comparable used | Type | Rent |
|---|---|---|
| 102 Wisconsin Ave | Single family, 1973 | $3,200 |
| 1037 S Cleveland St | Apartment, 2000 | $3,695 |
| 311 S Clementine St | Apartment | $3,795 |
| 1619 S Ditmar St | Single family | $3,695 |
| 910 S Pacific St | Single family, 1982 | $2,995 |
| Manufactured homes used: none | ||
Every comparable is a site-built apartment or house, and all five sit within three quarters of a mile of the coast in central Oceanside. The model matched on bedrooms, bathrooms, and floor area, and it had no way to account for the difference between a 1969 coach on leased land and a beach-adjacent rental. I also found the two data providers disagreeing about the size of the building, one reporting 938 square feet and the other 1,100.
I looked for genuine manufactured-home rental comparables in Oceanside and could not find a usable set. So rather than pass along a number I would not stand behind, I would rather tell you plainly that the rent is not knowable from the outside. A local agent who works this community will know it, and that is the right person to ask.
Oceanside has a mobile home rent control ordinance, and the space rent ceiling increase for 2026 is 2.85 percent.
That matters more than it might sound. In an uncontrolled park the pad rent is the cost that quietly erodes the economics, because the land charge climbs while a 1969 coach depreciates. Here your largest fixed cost has a legal cap on how fast it can rise, which is a genuine advantage and one of the few things in this analysis that rests on published rules rather than on a model.
The people who know what these units rent and sell for are inside the park. The manager, and your neighbours, hold data that no provider sells, because these transactions never enter the public record in the first place. Two or three conversations there will tell you more than any report I can buy.
If it would help, I am glad to talk through what you learn and what it means for your options. There is no cost for that and nothing to sign.
No obligation, and no pitch. If a mortgage is not the right tool here, I will tell you that too.
