Playmaker RV & Trailer Park is a 22-pad mobile home community located on 2.23 acres in Beulah, ND. Despite being in a rural location this small community still offers shopping & dining options. The park was developed in 1974 and has served the community by offering an affordable housing option since that time. The property is zoned for residential (mobile homes). The park is located in a flood zone. The park last flooded in 2008 but no homes were damaged. Since that last flood the Knife River has been dredged and levees added to protect the community. The park is presently managed by a local resident who also serves as the maintenance man. The seller believes that he would have interest in continuing in this roll going forward.
The pad sizes are 50 x 107. There are currently three trailers that need to be removed from the premises. Of the 22-pads in the park, four of the pads are TOH's averaging $400/month. One is a POH at $625/month. There are currently thirteen vacant pads in the park. Fourteen of the pads in the park are for trailers and each have their own meter. Eight pads are for RV's that share two meters (that the park currently pays for). The trailers are a mixture from 1970's through 2011's . The last increase in pad rental was in September of 2023. There are currently two tenants behind in their rent. The park utilizes month-to-month leases for its residents.
Playmaker RV & Trailer Park is on city water & city sewer! The underground pipe is a combination of galvanized & copper service lines. The electrical pedestals are 100 amp. Residents are direct billed for electricity. The park is currently paying the water & sewer bill and this park is a great candidate for water meters to bill back usage. Garbage is provided by the city and is included with the water/sewer bill. The city maintains the roads that are blacktop and in good condition. The park mows the entire park.
