A 67-space mobile home park in Athens, MI. It's remote: the nearest pharmacy we can find is about 16 miles away.
Working from home is realistic nearby — roughly 100% of homes report broadband at 100/20 Mbps or better. 67 spaces make this a mid-sized mobile home park as these things go, though the registry doesn't report current vacancies. Zone X on FEMA's map keeps this park outside the special flood hazard area, for whatever that's worth against a map that gets redrawn.

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

For residents
- Water billing: Michigan requires a park to measure water use accurately and consistently before it can bill for it separately — billing for water without metering is an unfair practice — and suspected water-tariff violations get referred to the Public Service Commission (MCL 125.2328). 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.

How much is lot rent at Birchwood Estates Mobile Home Park LLC?
Birchwood Estates Mobile Home Park LLC 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 Calhoun County is $1,176/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 Birchwood Estates Mobile Home Park LLC?
Michigan has no mobile-home-specific rent law — no cap on the amount, and no dedicated notice period. A lot-rent increase is treated like any change to a month-to-month tenancy under Michigan's general statute (MCL 554.134), so check what your own lease requires.
Where does the water at Birchwood Estates Mobile Home Park LLC come from?
Birchwood Estates Mobile Home Park LLC operates its own public water system, registered with the EPA as MI0040082 ("BIRCHWOOD ESTATES"). 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.
