Is Your MHC Ready for Remote Work & Streaming?

Remote work transformed where people choose to live. Suddenly, affordable housing in your manufactured housing community competes directly with urban apartments, not just other mobile home parks. Remote workers and streaming households have one non-negotiable requirement: fiber-quality internet that actually works. If your community can’t deliver this, you’re invisible to an entire demographic that could fill your vacant lots and stay for years.

What Type of Internet are Modern MHC Residents Looking for?

Remote workers run video conferences, upload large files, and manage cloud systems throughout their workday. A single video call requires 3-5 Mbps consistently. When connectivity fails during work hours, residents move — their livelihood depends on it.

Streaming households create similar demands. A family streaming Netflix on the TV, YouTube on tablets, and music on phones simultaneously consumes 25+ Mbps. By evening, multiply this across dozens of homes and your infrastructure either delivers or fails completely.

Manufactured housing communities need fiber-to-the-home infrastructure designed for sustained, simultaneous bandwidth demands. This is broadband as essential utility, not optional amenity.

Traditional Cable vs Fiber Internet for MHCs

Most MHCs rely on cable providers who treat communities as secondary markets. Cable monopolies deliver second-tier broadband at premium prices while capturing most revenue. Your residents pay $75+ monthly while you see minimal benefit. When cable fails, residents blame you. When speeds disappoint, residents leave.

You bear the occupancy consequences while the cable company bears no accountability.

Successful MHCs are shifting to fiber buried to each home, delivering 1,000+ Mbps as reliable as water and electricity. Residents receive fiber included as a community utility at lower cost than traditional cable with guaranteed performance through Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

The impact is immediate. A typical arrangement: $55/month per home with residents paying $30 and your community capturing $25. For a 100-lot community, that’s $30,000 monthly or $360,000 annually — pure additional income with zero management burden.

Better yet, $30/month in additional revenue translates to approximately $6,000 per lot in increased property valuation. A 100-lot community sees $600,000 in property value increase.

Residents with reliable connectivity pay more consistently, renew leases more often, and recommend your community. That translates to higher occupancy, lower turnover, and stronger financial performance.

Standard Timeline for MHC Fiber Internet Installation

Professional fiber-optic design ensures consistent delivery to every lot regardless of distance or terrain. Bulk internet service with fiber backbone eliminates coverage inconsistencies that frustrate residents and damage occupancy.

Fiber-to-the-home deployment typically happens within 30-120 days with zero upfront costs to your community. Unlike traditional cable arrangements, you’re partnering with a managed service provider that stays accountable to performance. The provider handles all connectivity management — 24/7 monitoring, local technician support, and guaranteed uptime through SLAs. Your staff focuses on what you do best: running your community and building relationships with residents.

Is Your Manufactured Housing Community Ready for High-Speed Internet?

Modern residents view broadband as essential infrastructure. Communities offering fiber-to-the-home position themselves as forward-thinking properties that understand contemporary living. Those that delay fall behind competitors who recognize internet quality directly impacts occupancy and property value.

The question isn’t whether you can afford this upgrade. It’s whether you can afford to compete without it.
