A 48-space mobile home park in Gwinn, MI. Fiber has not reached this town, so home internet here is cable, fixed wireless or satellite. The nearest everyday shopping is a few miles out.
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. This mobile home park carries 48 spaces on the registry, without a vacancy count to say how full it runs.

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: 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.

Is this Upper Sands Estates LLC's official website or phone number?
No. This is Upper Sands Estates LLC'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.

How much is lot rent at Upper Sands Estates LLC?
Upper Sands Estates 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 Marquette County is $1,137/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 Upper Sands Estates 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.
