Michigan-based Operator Provides New Homes, Family Amenities
Florida has a large concentration of manufactured housing communities of all varieties, but one vital area of the state has seen no growth in new communities for many years. Miami, one of the top destinations in the Sunshine State, now has its first new community in 30 years.
RHP Properties, based in Michigan, recently announced that the first phase of construction at Cottage Grove, a new all-ages community in southwest Miami, is complete.
“We are excited to announce our newest community, offering 5-star amenities at affordable prices for families. This new housing supply is coming at a time when it is most needed,” RHP Properties CEO Ross Partrich said. “Cottage Grove provides a path to homeownership in Miami-Dade County at a price point that is otherwise difficult to achieve, while replacing capacity that has been lost to redevelopment.”
Cottage Grove’s 349 new manufactured housing sites address a critical gap in Miami-Dade County housing supply at a time when rising home prices and construction costs are putting homeownership out of reach for many families, and at a time when supply is shrinking due to redevelopment. In the past year, more than 1,100 manufactured housing sites have been removed or are slated for removal, and new manufactured housing has been virtually non-existent in Dade County for decades.
The community provides convenient access to everything Miami has to offer and features brand new, modern multi-section homes in a luxury-inspired, amenity-rich setting at an affordable price point. With homes starting at $129,900, the community will offer spacious, four-bedroom single-family residences with open floor plans, multiple living areas, and kitchens equipped with stainless steel appliances and islands. There is access to two primary arterial corridors in Southwest Miami-Dade County, connecting residents to US-1 and the broader Miami metro area. Residents will benefit from the nearby 100-acre redevelopment of Southland Mall into Southplace City Center, a mixed-use project featuring retail, medical, hospitality, and residential components, as well as the proposed southwest extension of the Dolphin Expressway, enhancing east–west connectivity to the regional expressway and Florida Turnpike system across South Miami-Dade. Additional nearby attractions include the Sports Performance Hub campus, a large-scale project incorporating athletic, medical, and hospitality uses.
Cottage Grove is designed for an active lifestyle. It includes a large pool with a sun deck, a contemporary clubhouse, fitness center, yoga and lounge rooms, scenic biking and walking trails, and serene gazebos.
The playground, expansive green spaces, and gated entrance add to the community’s appeal for families. Model homes became available for tours in the early summer, with the first home sales closing by mid-summer.
