Fairway Estates

Independent Assessment

Fairway Estates was confirmed as a genuine 55+ manufactured home community with an owned-home, leased-land ownership structure — not a rental mobile-home park — consistent across the community's own marketing, a 2026 commercial real-estate transaction report describing the 169-unit sale, and multiple independent directory listings that consistently label it a 55-plus lifestyle community. Reported lot-rent figures are notably inconsistent across sources (from roughly $570/month on one rent-tracking site to $1,725/month on another) and could not be reconciled; buyers should treat any published lot-rent figure as unverified and request the current, exact amount directly from Commonwealth Real Estate Services. As with Glenwood, no recorded deed restriction establishing the age rule was found, so buyers should confirm the exact current policy language in writing.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want an affordable, owned-home option in south Everett with an on-site fitness center and a location directly adjacent to a public golf course are a strong fit for Fairway Estates. Its land-lease structure also suits buyers comfortable trading land ownership for a lower home purchase price, provided they budget for ongoing, separately billed lot rent.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Fairway Estates is reported at 169 home sites on approximately 32 acres. The original developer and construction date have not been independently confirmed. A 2026 commercial real-estate industry publication reported the 169-unit park sold for $23.5 million, and the community is currently owned and managed by Commonwealth Real Estate Services (CRES), which also manages Glenwood in nearby Marysville.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

No confirmed current resale price range for manufactured homes within Fairway Estates was found. Because the community operates on a land-lease model, any home price must be evaluated together with the separate monthly lot rent, for which conflicting figures were found; buyers should request both the current home listing price and the exact current lot rent from a local agent or the park's management before comparing Fairway Estates to other Snohomish County options.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

All current activity at Fairway Estates is resale of existing manufactured homes; no new-home construction was found. Buyers should obtain a manufactured-home-specific inspection, and should request the community's current lot-rent agreement, rent-increase history, and rules document from Commonwealth Real Estate Services before purchasing, given the conflicting reported lot-rent figures that could not be reconciled.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Manufactured homes at Fairway Estates are subject to Washington personal-property tax on the home itself, separate from any property tax the landowner pays on the underlying leased land. Washington has no state income tax and offers a Senior Citizen and Disabled Persons property tax exemption/deferral program for qualifying lower-income seniors, which buyers should confirm applies to a leased-lot manufactured home directly with the Snohomish County Assessor's Office. Insurance for a leased-lot manufactured home should be independently quoted and should account for the home's age and the community's land-lease structure.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Fairway Estates offers a low-maintenance, land-lease manufactured-home lifestyle in south Everett, with an on-site fitness center, a fountain pond, and organized social events such as wine tastings and dances. Its location directly next to the public Walter E. Hall Golf Course gives golf-minded residents easy access to a municipal course without the on-site course itself being part of the community's own amenity package.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Fairway Estates is located at 1427 100th Street SW in Everett, Washington, next to the public Walter E. Hall Golf Course and near Everett Mall Way, with convenient access to Everett's broader shopping, dining, and healthcare infrastructure, including Providence Regional Medical Center Everett. The community sits roughly midway between Everett and Mukilteo, with Paine Field and Interstate 5 both a short drive away.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Fairway Estates is consistently marketed and independently listed as a 55-plus lifestyle manufactured home community. Nothing in the sources reviewed confirmed a recorded deed restriction or park-rule document establishing the exact age-qualification language, household exceptions, or occupancy percentage; buyers should request the current written age-restriction policy, including any allowance for younger co-residents, directly from Commonwealth Real Estate Services before purchasing.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Because Fairway Estates is a land-lease community, buyers own only the manufactured home and must budget for a separately billed, potentially rising monthly lot rent; reported figures conflict (roughly $570 to $1,725/month) and it could not be determined which, if either, reflects current pricing, so buyers should get the exact current lot rent in writing before making an offer. No recorded age-restriction covenant was confirmed, so buyers should request the community's current written age policy and any exceptions directly from management. As with any established manufactured-home community, a manufactured-home-specific inspection is recommended given the range of home ages likely present.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Within Everett's 55+ manufactured-home cluster, Fairway Estates and Mobile Country Club are both land-lease communities of comparable scale (169 and 213 sites respectively) under professional or family management, while Glenwood in nearby Marysville shares the same Commonwealth Real Estate Services management model. Buyers who specifically want proximity to a public golf course may prefer Fairway Estates' location next to Walter E. Hall Golf Course, while those prioritizing a longer-established, family-managed park may prefer Mobile Country Club.
