RV parks and mobile home parks have attracted significant capital over the past few years, but the site criteria are narrower than most landowners realize. The wrong parcel can absorb millions in infrastructure with limited return.
TL;DR & ask a question
Zoning is the first filter
Many Texas jurisdictions do not allow MHP or RV use, and many that do require a special use permit. Sites with the use already allowed by right are meaningfully more valuable.
Utilities and septic
Density-driven uses need real utility capacity. Septic-based projects are limited by soil type, lot size, and TCEQ requirements.
Topography and pad layout
Site flatness drives the cost of pad development. A relatively flat parcel with good drainage and reasonable utility access is the baseline.
Location and demand
RV parks anchor to corridors and destinations. MHPs anchor to affordable-housing demand and employment. Generic suburban infill is rarely the right fit for either.
Realistic expectations
Developable RV and MHP sites in Texas are a specific and limited subset of land. A clear-eyed read up front saves owners months of misaligned conversation.
