A 324-space mobile home park in Sarasota, FL. County records put it on 23.4 acres, built in 1956.
At 324 spaces, this mobile home park is a fair-sized operation to run water and rent billing across. 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. The nearest basics run 1–2 miles, a real but manageable drive rather than a walk.

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: 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.
- Thinking about moving here? What to ask a park before you rent a lot, and what lot rent covers and how it goes up.

Is this Palm Terrace's official website or phone number?
No. This is Palm Terrace's page in the Lot Sidekick park directory, built from the state registry. We're independent of the park and can't take messages for it. The park office hasn't added a public contact here yet; if you own the park, claiming the page (free) lets you add one.
Where is Palm Terrace?
3223 N Lockwood Ridge Rd, Sarasota, Florida 34234, in Sarasota County.
How much is lot rent at Palm Terrace?
Palm Terrace 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 Sarasota County is $1,958/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 Palm Terrace?
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.

Park value estimate
Sarasota County assesses this park at $12M — about $38,000 per space. The median across 26 other assessed parks in the county is $70,000 per space, so this one sits in the bottom quarter of the county.
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.
