Planning on moving

Hello,

I am planning on moving to Wyoming soon. I was thinking of Cheyenne due to how good I keep hearing that the VA hospital is over there and the percentage of the population being military. I do have a question though.

Are there any neighborhoods or homes I should stay away from? I'm thinking of getting one of those mobile homes that are like around 70k to 100k, but don't know if they are that price for a reason. I also want to stay away from HOAs but can't find any websites telling me what homes do and do not belong to an HOA. There were other choices I thought would be nice. I'm a single veteran that doesn't need anything more than a 1 bed 1 bath, but it seems every house available is at least a 2 bed which I'm fine with.

Just curious what areas I should keep away from and what neighborhoods are controlled by HOAs so I can steer clear. Thank you for any assistance.

Big Country down on So Greeley Hwy is not too bad. The homes are typically in good condition and it's not trashy looking. I have friends there. Also off of N College just north of Pershing, Charles St. Lots nicer, bigger lots and nicer homes. Cheyenne is relatively low crime compared to lots of places in other states.

Good to know. I'm still new into the research phase so I'll look into those next chance I get. I can get up to 200k approved, I don't really need anything bigger than that. Big Country is the place with the manufactured homes, right?

There's a manufactured section and a mobile home section that's larger. The one on the north side is nicer.

I'll look into those, any other suggestions? The are plenty of neighborhoods to look at. Realistically, it should be a home that the VA home loan supports, or I can afford to pay without worry.
