Perret Village

Independent Assessment

Perret Village's land-lease ownership structure is well confirmed, because the community operator's own site (perretvillage.com, run by Perret Homes Inc., which both builds/sells homes and operates the community) directly and repeatedly explains the buy-the-home/lease-the-land model in its own words. The 55-and-older age qualification is likewise described consistently and directly by the operator's own site. The main unresolved fact is total community size: an older secondary source put the community at 128 lots, while a more recent manufactured-housing marketplace listing (MHVillage) states 265 homes. Whether the community expanded between these two data points, whether the figures reflect different counting methodologies (e.g., total platted lots versus currently occupied homes), or whether one figure is simply outdated could not be determined; the more recent MHVillage figure is treated as the more likely current total, but this is not independently cross-confirmed. Current lot-lease rent also could not be confirmed with high confidence -- the $290/month figure found comes from a single individual property listing rather than the operator's own published rate card, and may not reflect the operator's current standard rate across all home sites.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Budget-conscious buyers who want to own their home outright while avoiding the larger up-front cost of purchasing land, and who prioritize low property-tax exposure and reduced exterior-maintenance responsibility, will find Perret Village's land-lease model appealing. Its East Side Green Bay/Bellevue location -- near shopping, hospitals, the YMCA, and highway access -- also suits buyers who want convenient, walkable-adjacent amenities without the scale of a large master-planned community.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Perret Village is operated by Perret Homes Inc., which also functions as the area's manufactured/modular home builder and dealer for the community. The community's original establishment date was not confirmed. Reported total home-site counts vary by source, from 128 lots (an older secondary listing) to 265 homes (a more recent manufactured-housing marketplace listing); the discrepancy could not be reconciled with confidence.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Current individual home sale prices at Perret Village have not been independently verified. Buyers should request current available inventory and pricing directly from Perret Homes, which operates as both the community's builder/dealer and its land-lease operator.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

As both a builder/dealer and community operator, Perret Homes appears to offer new manufactured/modular home placement in addition to resale of existing homes within the community, though current new-home availability was not independently confirmed. Buyers of a resale unit should request a full independent inspection of the home and confirm the community's current lease terms and transfer/approval process required when purchasing an existing home on a leased lot.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

In a land-lease manufactured-home community, the home itself is generally taxed and titled separately from the underlying land (which remains taxed to the community owner, Perret Homes); one source suggests the land-lease payment may already include the land's property-tax component, but this was not independently confirmed as the current standard practice. Buyers should specifically ask Perret Homes and the applicable local assessor's office (Green Bay or Bellevue, depending on the confirmed jurisdiction) how property taxes are assessed and billed for a home on a leased lot, and confirm whether the home is titled as personal property or real property, which affects financing and taxation.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Perret Village offers a condo-style layout of individually owned manufactured/modular homes, each with its own private yard and on-site or attached garage, within a professionally maintained, landscaped neighborhood setting. No evidence of a dedicated clubhouse or extensive organized social-activities calendar comparable to larger master-planned active-adult communities was found; the operator's own marketing emphasizes privacy, independence, and lower-maintenance living within a community of same-life-stage peers.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Perret Village is located at 2971 Manitowoc Road, commonly described as Green Bay's East Side, though property records place it within the neighboring Village of Bellevue in Brown County. The location is reported to be near shopping, hospitals, the YMCA, and highway access. Buyers should confirm the exact current municipal jurisdiction (City of Green Bay versus Village of Bellevue) directly, since this affects which local government administers property taxes and permits.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Perret Village's own operator site (Perret Homes Inc.) consistently and directly describes the community as a '55 and older' land-lease community, which is treated as a reasonably confirming, primary-source signal -- stronger than relying on third-party aggregator characterization alone. The recorded lease-agreement age-restriction clause and a Wisconsin manufactured-housing-community state filing specifying the exact legal age-restriction language and verification procedure were not independently reviewed. Buyers should confirm current exact restriction terms directly with Perret Homes.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

As a land-lease community, buyers own the home but not the underlying land, meaning the monthly land-lease payment (reported around $290/month, not independently confirmed as the current community-wide rate) is an ongoing cost separate from any home financing, and lease rates can be adjusted over time subject to Wisconsin's manufactured/mobile-home-community regulations. Buyers should request all of this directly from Perret Homes: current individual home sale prices and the precise legal age-restriction language in the community's lease agreement could not be confirmed, and the conflicting total-home-count figures found (128 versus 265) could not be reconciled.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Perret Village is the only for-sale, land-lease 55+ community identified in the Green Bay area; Brown County's only other listed community, The Promenade in neighboring Ashwaubenon, is a confirmed rental apartment complex. Buyers specifically wanting land-lease, buy-the-home ownership in the Green Bay area currently have Perret Village as the only confirmed option.
