Description
White House Estates is a 25-pad mobile home community located on 5.65 acres on the outskirts of Atkinson, IL. The park was developed in the 1960's and has served the community by offering an affordable housing option since that time. The property is zoned 0030 (vacant residential lots) and 0060 (improved commercial). The park is not located in a flood zone. The park is presently managed by a resident manager who the owners believe will have interest continuing in that role going forward. The park does not have a maintenance man at this time.
The pad size varies, but the majority are single section pads (19). There are also multi-section pads in the park (06). There are currently not any trailers that need to be removed from the premises. Of the 22 occupied pads in the park, 04 of the trailers are POH's averaging $600/month. The other 18-pads in the park are occupied by TOH's which are paying $260/month (single), & $280/month (double). The current owners are bringing the pad rental rates up to market levels. Rent was raised in November of 2020 and was just increased another $20 on May 1st of 2022. There are currently five tenants behind in their rent. The park utilizes month-to-month leases for its residents.
PUBLIC WATER & SEWER! White House Estates is on city water & city sewer! The underground pipe material is unknown to the owners. The electrical pedestals are older and they believe they are between 60-100 amps. Residents are direct billed for water, electricity, & gas by the utility providers. Garbage is built into the lot and home rent. The park has two roads (one is asphalt, one is gravel) that are considered to be in below average condition. The tenants mow their own pads and the park mows the common areas. The park utilizes a 3rd party vendor to push snow as needed.
Since the current ownership group purchased the park, they have made a number of improvements to the property:
1. Installed new park signage
2. Cleared dead trees out of the park
When asked what improvements they would implement if they were to continue to operate the park going forward:
1. Repave the asphalt road
2. Replace the speed limit signs in the park
3. Install exterior lighting
