🏡 About Worcester County
Worcester County is Maryland's easternmost county — a coastal jurisdiction known worldwide for Ocean City, one of the East Coast's premier beach resort destinations. Ocean City attracts 8–10 million visitors annually and supports a massive hospitality and tourism economy that employs tens of thousands of seasonal and year-round workers. Worcester County's mobile home parks serve this workforce with affordable permanent housing in one of America's most popular vacation destinations.
Warren's Park Inc at 5101 Coastal Highway in Ocean City is Worcester County's premier mobile home community with 117 lots — remarkably located right on the resort strip, providing permanent housing at a fraction of the cost of any other Ocean City address. Lake Haven Mobile Home Park (41 lots) and Sunset Lakes (30 lots) in Berlin provide more rural affordable options near the Assateague National Seashore.
Worcester County offers a genuinely unique lifestyle opportunity — Maryland coastal living at prices that are dramatically lower than comparable beach communities in the Carolinas, Virginia, or New Jersey. The county's natural assets include Assateague Island National Seashore (home to wild ponies), Pocomoke River State Park, and miles of pristine Atlantic beaches.
