A recent article highlights Teton Management’s commitment to attainable housing at the Adirondack Ridge Community, a mobile home park located in Utica, as a new model for attainable housing in Oneida County. Owned by Teton Management Corp., the park offers a viable alternative to traditional apartment living by providing well-maintained mobile homes focused on affordability and homeownership.

Currently, the community is expanding, with plans for 40 new homes and additional amenities such as a playground and dog park set for 2025. The monthly payment for a mobile home at Adirondack Ridge is often lower than the rent for a typical apartment in Utica, making it an affordable option for low-income families.

While mobile homes are more common in rural areas, they make up only a small portion of Oneida County’s housing stock. The article includes information on how the Biden Administration has recently allocated over $200 million to support the revitalization of manufactured housing, funding repairs, utilities, and upgrades. Programs like Teton Cares also assist residents with home repairs and community upkeep.

Since Teton Management purchased the park in 2013, Adirondack Ridge has undergone significant improvements, transforming it into a thriving community. The park’s combination of attainable housing, ongoing infrastructure investments, and strong community engagement offers a promising solution to Oneida County’s housing shortage. As Teton Management continues to grow the park, it aims to positively impact the region’s housing landscape, helping residents achieve homeownership while maintaining an attractive and well-kept environment.
