Hillside Village

Independent Assessment

Hillside Village's 1963 build date, 38-site count, land-lease structure managed by Tranquilo Communities, and reported lot-rent range of roughly $450-$650/month are consistently confirmed across multiple independent sources (MHVillage, MHBO, Yelp business listing, Tranquilo Communities' own site). This is a currently operating, age-restricted manufactured-home community with owned homes on leased land, where a real recorded age restriction and genuine home ownership exist, distinct from a rental apartment complex. Given the community's small size (38 sites) and 1963 build date, it is treated as a modest, older, budget-tier option, and the age of the housing stock is flagged as a significant factor for buyers to weigh.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Budget-focused buyers who want an age-restricted manufactured home in a small, quiet, professionally managed community in north Carson City, and who have specifically budgeted for lot rent as an ongoing housing cost, are the best fit for Hillside Village. Its proximity to Mills Park and Carson Hot Springs also suits buyers who value easy access to outdoor recreation.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Hillside Village was built in 1963 and has a total of 38 home sites, making it one of the smaller and older age-restricted manufactured-home communities reviewed. It is managed on-site by Tranquilo Communities, a manufactured-housing community operator. All current activity is resale of existing manufactured homes on leased lots.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

A current, specific resale home price range for Hillside Village could not be independently confirmed. Buyers should request current comparable sales from a local agent experienced with manufactured-home communities, and should evaluate any home price together with the reported $450-$650/month lot rent to understand the true total monthly cost.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

All current activity at Hillside Village is resale of existing manufactured homes on leased lots. Given the community's 1963 build date, buyers should budget for a manufactured-home-specific inspection with particular attention to the age of major systems, and confirm the current lot-rent rate and lease terms directly with Tranquilo Communities before purchasing.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Because this is a land-lease community, buyers typically pay property tax on the manufactured home itself rather than on the underlying land, which is owned by the park operator. Confirm the specific tax treatment for any home under consideration with the Carson City Assessor's Office. Insurance for a manufactured home on a leased lot should be independently quoted, factoring in the home's age (built 1963) and any wind/tie-down certification requirements.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Hillside Village offers a modest, quiet, age-restricted manufactured-home lifestyle without a dedicated clubhouse or resort-style amenity package, reflecting its small scale (38 sites) and 1963 vintage. Its location near Mills Park and Carson Hot Springs gives residents easy access to outdoor recreation and wellness facilities just minutes from home.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Hillside Village is located at 2301 Lone Mountain Drive in Carson City, Nevada (89706), in the northern part of the city with quick access to I-580 and US-395. Carson City offers its own healthcare and retail infrastructure, with Reno roughly 30 minutes north and South Lake Tahoe roughly 40 minutes southwest.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Hillside Village is consistently described across independent sources as an age-restricted (55+) manufactured home community. The recorded HOPA certification documentation was not independently obtained; buyers should confirm current certification and occupancy compliance directly with Tranquilo Communities before purchasing.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

As a small, 38-site community built in 1963, Hillside Village's housing stock is considerably older than most other communities in this directory, and buyers should budget for the inspection and system-replacement considerations that come with manufactured homes of that vintage. The reported $450-$650/month lot rent is a meaningful ongoing cost that buyers must factor into total housing expense alongside the home's purchase price, and any lot-rent escalation clause or lease renewal terms could not be independently confirmed.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Within Carson City's thin 55+ market, Hillside Village is the older, smaller, land-lease manufactured-home option, contrasting with the larger, newer, site-built, deeded homes at Quail Run. Buyers who want the lowest possible entry cost and are comfortable with an older manufactured home and ongoing lot rent may prefer Hillside Village, while buyers who want conventional home ownership without a land lease should focus on Quail Run.
