Flood risk looks favorable here: the park sits in zone X, clear of FEMA's special hazard designation. At 12 spaces, this manufactured home park reports no vacancies, so an opening here likely means someone moving out rather than the park expanding.

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.
- Thinking about moving here? What to ask a park before you rent a lot, and what lot rent covers and how it goes up.
Common questions
How many spaces does Central Park have?
Central Park has 12 total spaces per the New York park registry (as of July 22, 2026), with no vacancies reported.
Is this Central Park's official website or phone number?
No. This is Central Park'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.
Where is Central Park?
100 Eric Court, Howes Cave, New York 12092, in Schoharie County.
How much is lot rent at Central Park?
Central Park 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 Schoharie County is $1,702/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 Central Park?
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 Central Park come from?
Central Park operates its own public water system, registered with the EPA as NY4701524. 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.
