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: Maine has no statewide rule setting the rate or markup for water billed to residents of a manufactured housing community, so ask the park how water is billed and what the charge is based on. 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 Friendly Village of Gorham?
Friendly Village of Gorham 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 Cumberland County is $2,130/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 Friendly Village of Gorham?
Maine sets no flat cap on lot-rent increases, but requires 90 days' written notice — and if the increase exceeds the area's average rent for comparable communities plus a point over the regional CPI, residents can demand mediation the park pays for (10 M.R.S. §9093-B).
Where does the water at Friendly Village of Gorham come from?
Friendly Village of Gorham operates its own public water system, registered with the EPA as ME0007086 ("FRIENDLY VILLAGE OF GORHAM 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.
