A land lease community allows you to own your home while leasing the land it sits on. This makes homeownership more accessible by lowering the upfront cost, since you're not purchasing the land itself. It’s a flexible, affordable alternative to traditional ownership.

Your monthly lease payment typically covers:

• General community maintenance

• Snow removal

• Garbage collection

• Road upkeep

• Landscaping of shared areas
