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 community sub-bills water, Indiana caps the charge at the actual cost the utility billed you plus a reasonable administrative fee of no more than $4 a month, with no late fees on the sub-bill and at least 17 days to pay (IC 8-1-2-1.2). 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.
- 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 Starlite Estates?
Starlite Estates 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 Whitley County is $1,113/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 Starlite Estates?
Indiana sets no statewide cap on lot-rent increases, and state law bars cities and counties from setting a local one (IC 32-31-1-20). A mobile-home lot counts as a “dwelling unit” under the general landlord-tenant law, which sets 30 days' notice to change a rental agreement unless your written lease says otherwise (IC 32-31-5-3, 32-31-5-4).
