A 365-space mobile home park in Minooka, IL. The park runs its own regulated water system, so it — not a city utility — supplies and is accountable for the water at each lot. The nearest everyday shopping is a few miles out.
This manufactured home community carries 365 spaces on the registry, without a vacancy count to say how full it runs. FEMA's flood map puts this park in zone X, outside the mapped special flood hazard area — one less financing or insurance hurdle than a park in a hazard zone faces.

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: Illinois bars charging residents again for common-area water the utility already bills separately, and where common-area use isn’t separately metered, caps what residents can be billed at 80% of the total utility bill (765 ILCS 745/6.2). 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.

For scale: HUD's FY 2026 fair market rent for a 2-bedroom rental around Grundy County is $1,459/mo — that's apartment-style rent for the area, and lot rent (the ground under a home you own) usually runs well below it.

How much can lot rent go up at Shady Oaks MHP?
Illinois sets no statewide cap on lot-rent increases, and state law bars cities from setting a local one (50 ILCS 825) — but every increase needs 90 days' written notice, and a resident whose new rent would top 45% of household income can defer paying the increase for up to a year while listing their home for sale (765 ILCS 745/6, 745/6.4).
Where does the water at Shady Oaks MHP come from?
