OVERVIEW

Hilltop Mobile Home Park is a 57-pad community located in Lexington, Illinois. Lexington serves as a bedroom community to the Bloomington–Normal metro area, home to major employers such as State Farm’s corporate headquarters, Rivian’s manufacturing plant, and Illinois State University. The park sits on 8.57 acres and is zoned R-2. It is not located in a flood zone. The current ownership group has held the property since 2017 and operates the park with an onsite manager in place. There is no full-time maintenance person employed. Hilltop MHP offers a solid base of tenant-owned homes with no park-owned homes, providing an attractive foundation for investors seeking stable income with operational upside. The park is currently serviced by city water and a well-maintained septic system, both of which are backbilled to the tenants. According to the owner, the septic tanks are in excellent condition and have been trouble-free for the past eight years. They are professionally serviced twice a year. While the property is not presently connected to city sewer, municipal sewer lines were extended to the park boundary during a city infrastructure upgrade several years ago. The city has since encouraged a connection and has indicated a willingness to waive the connection fee and potentially assist with the cost of the hookup. However, the current owners have opted not to proceed, as the septic system has continued to function efficiently. Electric and gas services are direct billed to tenants by the respective utility providers. Each pad is equipped with separate electric, gas, and water meters, with electrical pedestals rated at 200 amps. Internal roads are asphalt, in good condition, and maintained by the park. Of the 57 pads, 41 are currently occupied by tenant-owned homes, averaging $375 per month in lot rent. The last rent increase occurred in May 2025. Importantly, there are no park-owned homes—eliminating management and maintenance burdens related to home ownership. There are 14 vacant trailers on-site, at least one of which is in poor condition and will need to be removed. Additional units may also be candidates for removal depending on the new owner’s business model. All vacant pads are ready to accept new homes. Tenant leases are a mix of month-to-month and annual terms, with rent collected via Paylease software. Currently, two tenants are behind in rent payments. Since acquiring the property in 2017, the owners have made meaningful improvements, including road repairs, tree removal, landscaping upgrades, and water/sewer line replacements and improvements. They’ve also ensured that skirting was repaired and improved on all homes within the park. Should they continue operating the property, the owners indicated their primary focus would be on rehabbing existing homes and working toward full occupancy. Hilltop MHP presents an investor with a stabilized core occupancy alongside value-add potential through infilling vacant pads and updating existing units.
