Distances are straight-line, so the drive is longer. Internet and neighborhood figures describe the surrounding town — and the rent benchmark, wildfire rank, and tornado count the wider county — not this park’s own lots. The fair market rent is apartment-style rent (HUD’s area benchmark), not this park’s lot rent. Rent limits are not legal advice.

For residents
- Water billing: Connecticut lets park owners bill residents for water, but has no clear statewide rate cap specific to mobile home parks — ask the park how water is billed. Check the math free with the water submeter calculator.
- Paying rent: ask the park office how they take payment. Parks that run on Lot Sidekick hand residents clear, itemized rent and water bills.
- Thinking about moving here? What to ask a park before you rent a lot, and what lot rent covers and how it goes up.

How much is lot rent at Colchester Commons?
Colchester Commons doesn't publish its lot rent anywhere we could find, and we won't guess at a figure. Call the park office to ask. For scale: HUD's FY 2026 fair market rent for a 2-bedroom rental around New London County is $1,866/mo — that's apartment-style rent for the area, and lot rent (the ground under a home you own) usually runs well below it. If you run this park, you can add your real lot rent to this page for free.
How much can lot rent go up at Colchester Commons?
Connecticut sets no statewide cap on mobile-home lot-rent increases, but requires at least 30 days' written notice and that the new rent be consistent with comparable lots in the same park (Conn. Gen. Stat. §21-80), with local fair rent commissions available for review in larger towns.
Where does the water at Colchester Commons come from?
Colchester Commons operates its own public water system, registered with the EPA as CT0286011. That means the park — not a city utility — supplies and is accountable for the water at each lot. You can look up its monitoring and compliance record by that id in the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System.
