I have lived here for 2.5 years and in that time my lot rent has gone up 66.00. The park used to be a family owned park and now is owned by a company which of course is not good for the residents. \r
Lot rent in 2008 increased by 25.00 and again in 2009 25.00 and now for 2010 it will increase another 16.00. Maybe the company should not have so many people to pay at the top. Be like the rest of the nation and downsize to save money. I bought here so that at the time of retirement my home would be paid for and I could afford to live in my own home. Lot rent is now 496.00. They wonder why parks go downhill. When I was looking to move in there were no empty lots to build a new home on so I had to buy a prexisting home and the homes that were for sale were sold right away. Now no one wants to live here because of the lot rent and management. We are trapped here and they just keep raising the costs. Now there are several homes for sale and several lots to build on. \r
Managment also has criteria for allowing people to buy. Well it is my opinion that in the case of them making money on selling a home they bend the rules. You must have an excellent credit rating and you must allow them to do a background check on you. Well I know for a fact that one of my neighbors in no way should have been allowed to move into the park. How did this person get in? Well if we want to sell our home on our own and they make no money on it the rules apply then for letting people in. \r
I do not trust the people in mangement at all. I am wondering if they are trying to increase the lot rent so that we cannot afford it and walk away from our homes so that they can sell the land. How terrible is that?
Pros: CLEAN PARK
Cons: LOT RENT
