About the Community

~

Capstone is an attractive new land lease community for factory built housing located in Kirklin, IN. It features 22 home sites that will accommodate single or multi-section manufactured homes.

We’re establishing a neighborhood where pride of ownership is evident. Unlike an apartment complex, at Capstone you own your own home, so you have a vested interest in ‘keeping up appearances’. When every resident takes pride in their home and yard, it makes for a more pleasant living  experience, as well as making the most of your investment.

 

 

 

 

Next to a quality lifestyle, the main advantage of living here is affordability. Since residents don’t have to invest any money in land and lot improvements, they can afford to buy quite a bit more home. And the manufactured homes being built today are an excellent value. For the past few years, over a fourth of all new homes built have been manufactured homes. These homes are built to strict HUD code standards. Most of the same construction techniques and materials are used in site built homes, like 2 X 6 exterior walls and energy efficient vinyl windows. The savings come in when you use factory building practices, and you don't have to worry about bad weather holding up construction. In case you didn't know, there’s no such thing as a totally site built home anymore, anyway. For many years, almost every new home built on location has included some manufactured components. Almost all roof trusses, many wall panels and other components are factory made and trucked to the building site, and this is true for site built houses of all price ranges.

 

 

But let’s not get too technical! The construction is as sturdy as many site built homes, but the interior decor and amenities deserve attention, too. Many available models offer spacious master bedroom suites with whirlpool tubs and large walk-in closets. Kitchens can be very striking, with oak cabinets, deluxe appliances, islands, breakfast bars, and skylights. Top quality carpet, built in stereo, and even finished drywall are options. Bedrooms number from two to five, and some homes feature separate formal dining rooms, dens, living rooms, and great rooms with fireplaces, built-in book cases, and entertainment centers. There are literally dozens of floor plans to choose from, priced so that almost everyone can afford an attractive, quality home to be proud of.

The value of factory built homes combined with the savings of leasing a home site instead of buying one is very hard to beat. At Capstone, you can buy a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with 1150+ square feet, including lot rent, for about the cost of a two bedroom apartment with 600 square feet, and this house is yours! That also includes a new range, refrigerator, window coverings, and washer/dryer hookup. Everything you need to get started.

 

 

Another thing you get is a very generous yard. You can have your own garden, a good place for kids to play, and most important, privacy. You know, some room between you and your neighbors. Most of our lots are appx. 6000 sq. feet. That’s a lot more yard than you may have seen in many other parks. With that much space, a Capstone resident can live in a 28 X 80 multi-section home with over 2000 square feet, and still have plenty of yard space to enjoy outdoor activities. We have off street parking right at your door, sidewalks and curbs, paved streets, and security lighting at each lot. Traffic’s light, since there’s only one entrance, and the street ends in a cul-de-sac. Trash is picked up right in front of your home, so we don't have ugly dumpsters.  Don't like mowing & trimming grass?  Lawn care is available for a nominal fee.

We want to stress that we will be enforcing comprehensive guidelines governing all aspects of the appearance of our community, and the satisfaction of out residents, just like housing covenants in other upscale neighborhoods. All the homes in Capstone will have vinyl siding and shingle roofs. Aside from the fact that these exteriors are maintenance free, their appearance holds up very well in the long run, and we want to emphasize that appearances will be a major focus in this community. We are the owner/operators, so we have a keen interest in the success of this community. We’ve seen other communities of this type elsewhere in Indiana that are very attractive, and we think Kirklin will be the site of the next successful manufactured housing development.  We apologize to dog owners, but we've found that it's best fo all concerned to not allow residents to keep dogs (even indoor dogs) in this type of community.

If you already own your own manufactured home, located in another land lease community with higher rent, you may find that moving it to Capstone can save you a considerable amount of money in the long run.  Remember, we are accepting only newer homes with vinyl siding and shingles roofs.  However, with the money you’ll save on rent, you may want to consider upgrading to a newer home with more room and nicer amenities. We're offering some very attractive rent in conjunction with a local retailer: Terrace Hills Manufactured Home Sales.
