At Meadow Lane Park, buying a home means becoming a co-owner of the community itself. There is no landlord, no land lease, and no outside company controlling where you live.
What it means
You own the land, together
When you purchase a home at Meadow Lane Park, you also acquire a proportional share in the cooperative that owns the land beneath the entire community. That cooperative was formally incorporated in 2018.
This means the land can never be sold out from under you by an outside investor, and decisions about the community are made collectively by the people who live here — not by a distant landlord.

Resident-owned vs. land-lease
Most manufactured home communities operate on a land-lease model — you own the home but rent the land it sits on. Meadow Lane Park works differently.
| Land-lease park | Meadow Lane Park | |
|---|---|---|
| Land ownership | Rented from park owner | Co-owned by residents |
| Ongoing costs | Monthly lot rent — can rise | Quarterly assessment only |
| Community decisions | Made by park owner | Voted on by members |
| Risk of land sale | Yes — park can be sold | Land is owned collectively |
| Home resale | Home only | Home + ownership share |
* Meadow Lane Park members pay a quarterly assessment covering community operating expenses, grounds maintenance, and property taxes. There is no monthly lot rent.
