A 23-space 55+ manufactured-home community in Gates, OR. The nearest everyday shopping is a few miles out.
At 23 spaces set aside for residents 55 and older, this manufactured-dwelling park currently reports 3 open — more room to move in than a park sitting at capacity. The surrounding town is well wired: about 100% of homes can reach 100/20 Mbps, much of it fiber. This isn't a flood-zone property — FEMA's map has it in zone X, outside the special hazard area.

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: if your park bills water by submeter, Oregon caps the usage rate at your utility's rate (ORS 90.572), and your bill should show both meter reads and that rate. Check the math free with the water submeter calculator, or read the Oregon water-billing guide.
- 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 Sierra Meadows Park?

For scale: HUD's FY 2026 fair market rent for a 2-bedroom rental around Marion County is $1,560/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.
