A 15-space mobile home park in Essex, VT. Everyday shopping is within a couple of miles.

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: Vermont has no statewide rate rule specific to submetered water in mobile home parks — its submetering rule covers campgrounds, not parks — so ask the park how water is billed and what the charge is based on. 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.

How much is lot rent at River Hill Mobile Home Park?
River Hill Mobile Home 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 Chittenden County is $2,140/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 River Hill Mobile Home Park?
Vermont sets no hard cap on lot-rent increases, but requires 60 days' written notice on the state's own form — an improperly noticed increase is unenforceable — and an increase above the state's annual threshold (5.00% for 2026) lets a majority of leaseholders petition for state-arranged mediation (10 V.S.A. §§6251–6253).
