Discover the Perks: Why Choosing a Leased Community is the Smart Move

Posted on by umh

Experience the Benefits of Living in a Leased Community

We’ve discovered a hidden gem in homeownership: UMH Properties, Inc.’s land lease communities. By renting the land where your manufactured home sits, you’re unlocking a world of benefits that site built homeownership can’t match. From significant cost savings to vibrant community amenities, there’s much to explore in these innovative living arrangements. But what exactly makes land lease communities such an attractive option? Let’s look at how UMH Properties, Inc. is revolutionizing how we think about affordable housing and community living.

Benefits of Land Lease Communities

One of the key benefits of living in a land lease community is the affordability compared to site-built home ownership. When you own a manufactured home in our communities, you’ll enjoy the benefits of homeownership without the additional expense of purchasing land. Instead, you’ll simply rent the land on which your home sits. This arrangement makes living in a manufactured home much more affordable.

As part of a land lease community, you’ll have access to amenities like clubhouses, pools, and fitness centers that you won’t find in other neighborhoods. Many leased communities include maintenance services for common areas and sometimes even individual yards, reducing the burden of upkeep for residents. This means more time to enjoy your home and less time spent on landscaping. In addition, some land leased communities have security measures in place, such as gated entrances or security personnel. This added layer of security can provide peace of mind for residents. Lastly, UMH land lease communities are managed by property managers. This ensures that the community is well-maintained, rules are enforced fairly, and residents have a reliable point of contact for any issues or concerns. With all these benefits, it’s no wonder why so many are choosing the land lease lifestyle.

Cost Savings and Community Advantages

On top of affordability, you’ll enjoy significant cost savings and the advantages of being part of a vibrant community when you choose the land lease lifestyle. In a land lease community, you own your manufactured home but lease the land, making homeownership more accessible.

You’ll save on property taxes, as you’re only responsible for taxes on your home, not the land. Plus, you’ll have access to many amenities, such as playgrounds, sporting areas, pools, and recreational facilities, fostering a strong sense of community among residents.

Imagine the joy of homeownership without the burden of high land costs and the added benefits of belonging to a thriving neighborhood. Embrace the land lease lifestyle and experience the best of both worlds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Happens if I Want to Sell My Home?

If you want to sell your home, you can do so anytime. We’ll help you through the process, and the new homeowner will take over the lease for the land.

Can I Make Changes or Additions to My Home?

Sure, you can make changes or additions to your home. We will help you ensure that any modifications meet community standards and local building codes.

What Are the Rules and Regulations for Living in the Community?

Check out our website resources page for a copy of our community rules and regulations.

 

Conclusion

We’ve discovered the incredible benefits of land lease communities with UMH Properties, Inc. They’re making homeownership more accessible and affordable than ever. We’re saving on property taxes and high land costs by renting the land. Contact us today at 1-800-504-0670 or send an email to wecanhelp@umh.com to discuss the benefits of leasing land in our communities.

DIY Decorations For Your Home This Thanksgiving

Posted on by Jordon Rupp

With the crisp weather well on its way, Fall has finally arrived! Convert your UMH space into a (budget-friendly) festive haven. All you DIY-lovers, here are some ideas to get you started:

Take the classic harvest display to the next level! Traditional pumpkins can be found all over homes in the autumn months. Add a glam-spin to them by spray-painting them with a metallic gold!

While mason jars typically evoke Summer feelings, they make perfect vases for Fall mums! For a more intense fall flavor, decorate the jar with paint, twine, or modpodge some leaves onto it!

For those of you with a sweet tooth, fill a clear cookie jar with candy corn!

Manufactured Homes Are Changing the Way You Think About Affordable Housing

Posted on by Jordon Rupp
When you think about celebrity homes, what comes to mind? Probably a $10 million mansion with several pools, a movie theater, a sport court, and a huge kitchen, all set on many acres of property. The sheer size of most of these homes certainly catches the eye, but it’s not like anyone could actually afford to buy something like that.
 
However, when the rich and famous decide that they’d like to buy a manufactured home, people sit up and take notice.
 
For instance, iconic fashion designer Betsey Johnson recently made headlines when she decided to downsize from her 2,900 sq. ft. East Hampton pad and move into a Malibu manufactured home community. She’s not the only one—other residents in the community include Matthew McConaughey and Pamela Anderson. It boasts ocean views and secluded lots, and some homes are even decorated by big-name designers.
 
Stylish Manufactured Homes Communities Draw Residents
 
Here are just a few reasons why a growing number of people want to escape their bigger digs and move into a smaller, compact space that’s just as fabulous.
 
  • Prime Locations. Many manufactured home communities are near desirable areas, such as state and national parks, breathtaking mountain ranges, beautiful beaches, and popular cities that are best known for pricey housing. A manufactured home with in a sought-after location can put you close to your favorite places and can also be conveniently near where you work.   
  • An Affordable Housing Choice. Families, single parents, couples, or those who are enjoying retirement may be looking for a housing option that is much more affordable than what many cities are offering. With housing prices appreciating over the last three years at an average of 17% in many cities (and as high as 50% in places like San Francisco), manufactured homes are one of the few housing bargains available. 
  • Manufactured Home Features. These homes often include three bedrooms and may be as much as 1,500 sq. ft. large. With plenty of kitchen space, plus a master bedroom and master bath, they have just as many features as site-built homes. Some have hardwood floors, tile, cathedral ceilings, picture windows, laundry/mud rooms, and additional options. 
If you’re considering a change in your housing or your location, UMH invites you to tour a model home at a nearby manufactured home community to see the amenities included. UMH Properties owns 98 manufactured home communities throughout seven states in the United States. Call or contact us to learn more.

Small Space, Big Ideas: Three Ways to Make the Most of Your Laundry Room

Posted on by Jordon Rupp

The laundry room in your manufactured home may seem like it couldn't hold much, but some creativity will give you all the space you need.
1. Think vertically. Affordable homes offer plenty of wall space to work with. Wall-mounted cabinets and open shelves can store everything from laundry products to cleaning supplies. If you install them high enough, you can even reserve the very top shelves for lesser-used items. Don't forget the wall-mounted ironing board.

2. Use the space you have. A front-loading washing machine with controls on the front makes a solid base for a countertop as well as a perfect space for folding laundry or storing fabric softener. Attach a drying rack to the wall with hinges so you can swing it out into the room when you need it and keep it on the wall when you don't.

3. Keep it small. A stackable washer-dryer combination gives you comparable laundry capability in a smaller package. You can also get an all-in-one machine that both washes and dries, or you can get washers and dryers with storage drawers at the base.

Affordable homes offer everything you need for livability and comfort, as long as you're willing to use your imagination.

What Is UMH Properties, Inc.?

UMH Properties, Inc. (NYSE: UMH) is a publicly traded real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns and operates 145 manufactured home communities with approximately 26,500 developed homesites across 12 states.11 Founded in 1968, UMH has over 55 years of experience providing quality, affordable housing for America’s workforce.

Why UMH Properties Stands Out

  • Scale and experience: 145 communities across New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Alabama, South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia.
  • Award-winning operator: Named Manufactured Home Community Operator of the Year by the Manufactured Housing Institute.
  • Full-service approach: UMH offers home sales, rentals, financing through UMH Sales and Finance, Inc., and on-site self-storage facilities.
  • Quality construction: All homes are built to the federal HUD Code (Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards), ensuring safety and quality.

How the Land-Lease Model Works

UMH communities operate on a land-lease model, which is one of the most affordable paths to homeownership in the United States. Here’s how it works:

  1. You own (or rent) the home. Choose to purchase a manufactured home or rent one from UMH.
  2. You lease the lot. Instead of buying expensive land, you pay a monthly lot rent to UMH for your homesite.
  3. You enjoy community amenities. Your lot rent typically covers access to shared amenities, maintenance services, and community infrastructure.

Benefits of Land-Lease Living

  • Lower overall housing costs compared to traditional homeownership
  • Minimal closing costs when purchasing a manufactured home
  • No common walls  enjoy the privacy of a single-family home
  • Spacious yards with room for outdoor living
  • Reduced maintenance expenses with included services
  • Community standards that maintain property values and neighborhood quality
