Meadowridge Park

Independent Assessment

Meadowridge Park is a land-lease manufactured home community: residents own their individual homes while leasing the underlying land, as evidenced by active individual home listings and closed sales within the community on standard residential real-estate platforms rather than a company renting out the housing units themselves. Multiple independent directory sources consistently describe the community as age-restricted (55+), with 54 sites built in 1993. Reported lot rent varies notably across sources (from roughly $400 to $1,100/month in one listing range, versus $650/month in another), so buyers should confirm the current exact figure directly with community management. A nearby, differently named Wenatchee-area park (Mobile Park Plaza in East Wenatchee) was also confirmed to be a separate, all-ages community and is not conflated with Meadowridge Park.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want an established, city-serviced manufactured home community in Wenatchee's Central Washington setting, with a clubhouse and RV parking, are a strong fit for Meadowridge Park. Its relatively small size (54 sites) may also appeal to buyers who prefer a more intimate community over a larger regional park.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Meadowridge Park was built in 1993 in Wenatchee as an age-restricted 55-and-older manufactured home community. No single named original developer was found in available sourcing. The community today comprises 54 home sites on paved streets with city water and sewer service, with residents continuing to buy and sell individual homes within the park on a resale basis.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Reported resale pricing for homes within Meadowridge Park has included closed sales such as a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home for $179,900 in July 2024 and a 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit for $210,000 in May 2024, suggesting a roughly $180,000-$210,000 recent resale range. These figures are for the manufactured home itself and do not include the separate monthly lot rent. Buyers should request current available homes and recent closed comparables directly from the community office or a local agent familiar with Wenatchee manufactured-home sales.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

All homes currently available at Meadowridge Park are resale, as the community was built out in 1993 with no new-home construction identified in available sourcing. Buyers should budget for a full inspection of the specific manufactured home's age-appropriate systems, confirm the community's current rules on home age and condition for resale approval, and request the current lot-rent schedule and any planned increases directly from management before purchasing.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Because homeowners at Meadowridge Park own their manufactured home but not the underlying land, property tax treatment differs from a typical site-built home; buyers should confirm with the Chelan County Assessor's Office whether a specific home is taxed as real or personal property and what the applicable rate and any manufactured-home-specific rules are. Washington offers a Senior Citizen and Disabled Persons Property Tax Exemption/Deferral program for qualifying homeowners at least 61 years old with Chelan County income limits that buyers should confirm current eligibility for directly with the Chelan County Assessor's Office, since rules for land-lease manufactured homes can differ from site-built homes.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Meadowridge Park offers manufactured-home living on paved, city-serviced streets, centered on a community clubhouse, with RV parking supporting residents who travel seasonally. As a land-lease community, day-to-day operations and site maintenance are handled by on-site management rather than a resident-run association board.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Meadowridge Park is located at 1630 Ninth Street, Wenatchee, Washington 98801, in Chelan County in Central Washington. The community offers access to Wenatchee's downtown shopping, dining, and medical facilities, the Columbia River waterfront and Apple Capital Loop Trail, and the region's orchards and outdoor recreation, with the Wenatchee Valley's dry, sunny climate distinguishing it from the wetter Puget Sound and Olympic Peninsula communities elsewhere in this directory.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Meadowridge Park is consistently described across multiple independent directory sources as an age-restricted (55+) community. The exact recorded deed or CC&R age-restriction language was not independently reviewed; buyers should confirm current age-qualification and verification requirements directly with community management before purchasing or applying for residency.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Because Meadowridge Park operates on a land-lease model, buyers should understand that they will own their home but not the underlying land, meaning monthly lot rent is a permanent, potentially rising cost separate from any purchase price and does not build land equity. Reported lot rent figures vary considerably across sources, so buyers should get the current, exact figure directly from community management rather than relying on any single reported range. As a community built in 1993, resale buyers should budget for a full inspection of a given home's age-appropriate systems and confirm current community rules on home age, resale approval, and any required upgrades.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Within this sponsor grouping's Wenatchee cluster, Meadowridge Park is a well-established, clubhouse-amenitized community comparable in general model to nearby Twin Peaks Manor, though somewhat smaller (54 sites versus Twin Peaks Manor's 87) and built slightly later (1993 versus 1985). Buyers comparing the two should weigh Meadowridge Park's clubhouse and RV parking against Twin Peaks Manor's own community pool amenity.

Current Listings

A connected local agent or the community's on-site office can provide current available homes for sale, recent closed comparables, and the current lot-rent schedule.
