How do I know if my new home has been constructed in accordance with HUD’s national building code?
Once a HUD-certified inspector approves the new home design, a label is affixed to the home. You should also find a data plate on each home listing the manufacturer, serial number, design approval, heating specifications, and wind resistance. If these can’t be located, purchase of the home is not recommended. Does Equity LifeStyle Properties offer age qualified communities? Approximately seventy percent of our residents are 55+, and nearly two-thirds of our communities are marketed exclusively as age qualified communities.

Each community has its own guidelines concerning pets. Are rental homes available within the communities? Rental programs are available at several communities.
