BRADENTON BEACH – Pines

Trailer Park residents will have to pay $250,000 more than they expected should they decide to purchase their park from the owner.

Residents met again on March 15 to discuss their ongoing efforts to cooperatively purchase the 2.78-acre waterfront mobile home park property. The meeting at the Pines Trailer Park community building was open to residents only, who were presented with a seven-page document titled, “Join your fellow residents as we purchase The Pines.” The document, presented by Lifestyle Choice Realty Inc., notes its preliminary nature and says, “Numbers are subject to change as more information is obtained.”

Another meeting is scheduled on Wednesday, March 29.

In late January, the Jackson Partnership LLLP ownership group informed park residents and the residents association of their desire to sell the mobile home park. Under state law, potentially impacted mobile home owners must be given the first opportunity to purchase a mobile home park property before it can be offered on the open market.
