OTHER INFORMATION
The property currently has a mixed-reputation in the area and as new owners of the property our goal is to make the park a better place to live by addressing deferred maintenance, improving the park’s appearance and by fairly enforcing community rules and regulations. The park has a mix of Mobile Home and RV spaces. A number of mobile homes are park-owned and rented to tenants. Some of these homes have deferred maintenance to be addressed which will involve managing outside contractors. Ownership’s goal is to transition these homes to tenant-owned through sales and lease to own arrangements. The RV spaces will require focus to improve occupancy and the new staff will be expected to work closely with ownership and property management to implement improvement plans.
The park is well-located near schools, churches, open space, retail and services and has potential to be a nicer place to live while still offering affordable housing options.
