A 30-space mobile home park in Hartford, MI. The park runs its own regulated water system, so it — not a city utility — supplies and is accountable for the water at each lot. Everyday shopping is within a couple of miles.
Flood risk looks favorable here: the park sits in zone X, clear of FEMA's special hazard designation. 100% of homes in the area report broadband at 100/20 Mbps or faster — one less worry for remote work. 30 spaces — big enough that billing by spreadsheet starts to show its cracks.

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
This park runs its own regulated public water system (EPA id MI0040668), drawing from its own groundwater well. The system reports serving about 75 residents through 30 service connections.
Hartford is a rural community about 30 miles west of Kalamazoo (about 76,000 people). 9 other registered parks lie within about 10 miles.
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 Applewood MHP LLC?
Applewood MHP 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 Van Buren County is $1,016/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 Applewood MHP 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 Applewood MHP LLC come from?
Applewood MHP LLC operates its own public water system, registered with the EPA as MI0040668 ("APPLEWOOD"). 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.
