A 231-space mobile home park in Apopka, FL. The park runs its own regulated water system, so it — not a city utility — supplies and is accountable for the water at each lot. County records put it on 39.2 acres, built in 1974.
At 231 spaces, this mobile home park is a fair-sized operation to run water and rent billing across. The nearest basics run 2–5 miles, a real but manageable drive rather than a walk. The surrounding town is well wired: about 100% of homes can reach 100/20 Mbps, much of it fiber. This isn't a flood-zone property — FEMA's map has it in zone X, outside the special hazard area.

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.

Worth knowing
This park runs its own regulated public water system (EPA id FL3480114), drawing from its own groundwater well. The system reports serving about 420 residents through 232 service connections.
Apopka is a rural community about 15 miles west of Sanford (about 61,000 people). 13 other registered parks lie within about 10 miles.
For residents
- Water billing: if your park submeters water, Florida bills it at the cost of service with the combined service charge capped at 9% (§367.022(9)) — there's no markup on the water itself. Check the math free with the water submeter calculator, or read the Florida water-billing guide.
- Paying rent: ask the park office how they take payment. Parks that run on Lot Sidekick hand residents clear, itemized rent and water bills.

How much is lot rent at Brightwood Manor?
Brightwood Manor 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 Orange County is $1,972/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 Brightwood Manor?
Florida has no statewide cap on lot rent, but Chapter 723 requires 90 days' written notice (Statute §723.037), and an increase justified by comparable parks must be disclosed — residents can request mediation.
Where does the water at Brightwood Manor come from?
Brightwood Manor operates its own public water system, registered with the EPA as FL3480114 ("BRIGHTWOOD MANOR MHP"). 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.

Orange County assesses this park at $7.6M — about $33,000 per space. The median across 38 other assessed parks in the county is $50,000 per space, so this one sits in the middle of the county range.
These are county assessments for tax purposes, not a market appraisal and not an asking price. A park's real value turns on its rent roll, its expenses and its utilities — none of which are in a public record.
