Community Managers and Their Role


OKEMOS, MI -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 7, 2007 --Managers of land-lease communities play a vital role in the creation of a happy community lifestyle for their residents. Managers are always willing to take that extra step and go the extra mile to help residents sustain a safe, friendly and fun living environment.

Oftentimes in land-lease communities, you will find residents enjoying various events and activities, whether it be an Easter egg hunt for children or a potluck dinner. Community managers organize these events, helping to bring the neighborhood together and promote a friendly and safe atmosphere for all residents.

Long-time community manager Lora Baumann personally knows the benefits of community living, having lived in both a site-built subdivision and a land-lease community. "There is a true sense of community living," says Baumann. "You look out for each other, more so than subdivisions."

Having a community manager on site is just one of the many benefits that living in a land-lease community provides. Moving into a community means moving into a friendly neighborhood environment, not always the case when moving into a subdivision or placing your home on private property. Residents all value and respect one another, appreciate quiet, cleanliness and a shared interest in maximizing the worth of their investment. Community managers help them do just that! They will also agree; when you move into a land-lease community, you not only gain neighbors, you gain friends as well.

Community living offers many advantages over private dwellings. Residents enjoy a warm, friendly atmosphere, amenities such as swimming pools, community clubhouses, playgrounds, ball fields, walking/biking trails and RV storage -- conveniences you won't find in most site-built subdivisions or even condominium developments.
