A 119-space mobile home park in Hyde Park, NY. The park runs its own regulated water system, so it — not a city utility — supplies and is accountable for the water at each lot. County records put it on 50.5 acres.
The nearest basics run 0–5 miles, a real but manageable drive rather than a walk. The surrounding town is well wired: about 100% of homes can reach 100/20 Mbps. This isn't a flood-zone property — FEMA's map has it in zone X, outside the special hazard area. At 119 spaces, this manufactured home park currently reports 2 open — more room to move in than a park sitting at capacity.

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: New York requires water and utility charges in a manufactured home park to be reasonably related to the actual cost of service, not a profit center (RPL §233(g)). 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 Valkill Park East?
Valkill Park East 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 Dutchess County is $1,979/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 Valkill Park East?
New York requires at least 90 days' written notice before a lot-rent increase, and any increase above 3% can be challenged in court as unjustified — with a 6% ceiling absent court-approved hardship relief (Real Property Law §§233(g), 233-b).
Where does the water at Valkill Park East come from?
Valkill Park East operates its own public water system, registered with the EPA as NY1302110 ("VALKILL EAST MOBILE HOME PARK").

These are county assessments for tax purposes, not a market appraisal and not an asking price. A park's real value turns on its rent roll, its expenses and its utilities — none of which are in a public record.
