Hamilton Estates is a 38-pad manufactured housing community located in Hamilton, Illinois. Developed in 1967, the property sits on approximately 14.77 acres and benefits from zoning that permits mobile home park use. The community is not located within a designated flood zone. Current ownership has operated the property for the past four years and has implemented several operational and capital improvements to enhance the stability and long-term performance of the asset.

The community consists of 38 medium-sized pads, with 31 currently occupied. The park includes a balanced mix of 15 park-owned homes (POH) and 15 tenant-owned homes (TOH), along with six vacant homes and available pad capacity for additional infill. All vacant pads are suitable for new home placement. Average TOH lot rent is currently $325 per month following a $30 increase implemented in February 2026. The POH units generate an average of approximately $400 per month above the underlying lot rent, with the most recent POH increase being $25 per month. Ownership holds titles to all park-owned homes with the exception of one unit. No homes are currently scheduled for removal due to condition concerns, and no units are being held for delinquent property taxes. Approximately two residents are currently behind on rent. All tenants operate under monthly lease agreements and make payments through the Rent Manager portal.

Hamilton Estates is served by municipal water and sewer, with water usage submetered and backbilled to residents. Each pad is individually metered for electric and natural gas, which are billed directly by the utility providers. Electrical service is delivered through 100-amp pedestals at each site. Garbage service is provided and backbilled to tenants (dumpster) . The composition of underground utility lines is unknown. The internal road network is asphalt and reported to be in average condition, with ongoing maintenance provided by ownership.

The property is currently managed remotely by a district manager and does not have a full-time on-site manager. Ownership has identified a current resident who may be a strong candidate for an on-site management role if desired by future ownership. A maintenance technician is in place to handle day-to-day repairs and upkeep. Residents are responsible for mowing their individual lots, while ownership maintains vacant pads and common areas. Snow removal is provided for the main park roads, with residents responsible for their individual driveways. The community offers offstreet parking for residents.

During the current ownership period, several improvements have been completed, including the installation of a playground, road repairs, removal of distressed homes, new community signage, and the implementation of water submetering. These upgrades have improved the overall condition and operational efficiency of the property.

Future upside exists through continued infill of vacant homes and available pad sites. Ownership has indicated that their primary focus moving forward would be filling additional homes and lots to increase occupancy and stabilize income further.

There are no assumable loans associated with the property, and the sellers are not offering seller financing.
