Rancho Cerritos is an all-age (family) 4-star mobile home park located in Watsonville California. It is a modern state-of-the-art park that consistently operates at full occupancy. It contains 128 double-wide spaces (there are some triple-wide homes in the park) and 17 single-wide spaces. It is situated on an 18.88 acre parcel of land resulting in 7.68 units per acre density. It has been well maintained and reflects little deferred maintenance. Rancho Cerritos is well located in Watsonville which affords it good visibility and favorable rental exposure. It therefore normally operates at 100% occupancy. It was built in 1975 and has wide spacious streets and good design which gives the park a neighborhood type of ambiance. It thus affords its residents a pleasant, spacious setting with attractive landscaping. There is a full array of amenities that include a clubhouse, swimming pool and an RV storage area. The streets are asphalt and are in excellent condition (see photographs) with gutters, curbs and streetlights. Rancho Cerritos possesses all the desirable features of a low-risk real estate investment. First, it consistently operates near full occupancy.
