Cottage Grove: Miami's New Resort-Style Manufactured Home Community Unveiled

Completion of Cottage Grove

RHP Properties has marked a significant milestone in addressing Miami's housing scarcity with the completion of Phase I at Cottage Grove, a resort-style manufactured home community. With 349 brand-new home sites, this community caters to families of all ages, offering an affordable yet vibrant living experience in southwest Miami. The need for such housing is pressing; rising prices in the home market coupled with the loss of existing manufactured home sites have created an urgent demand for affordable housing options.

Located strategically at the intersection of Quail Roost Drive and Krome Avenue, Cottage Grove ensures easy access to various parts of Miami. The community features modern, spacious multi-section homes starting at a price point of $129,900. Homebuyers can expect to find four-bedroom residences designed with open floor plans, equipped with contemporary kitchens boasting stainless steel appliances and islands.

The amenities at Cottage Grove extend beyond the homes themselves. Designed to promote an active and healthy lifestyle, the community includes a large, well-maintained pool accompanied by a sun deck, a contemporary clubhouse, fitness center, and designated spaces for yoga and relaxation. With scenic biking and walking trails, playgrounds, and expansive green spaces, this community is particularly appealing to families aiming to balance comfort with leisure. The added security of a gated entrance enhances its family-friendly atmosphere.

Ross Partrich, CEO of RHP Properties, expressed enthusiasm about the new development: "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." The new homes at Cottage Grove not only provide a pathway to homeownership for many families but also compensate for the capacity that has been lost due to redevelopment across the region.

A model home is in the works, set to open for tours in June, with homes for sale expected to be available by mid-summer 2026. Cottage Grove’s development is timely, providing fresh housing options to a market significantly affected by increasing home prices and limited new constructions.

Beyond its immediate offerings, Cottage Grove benefits from its prime location. Residents will have convenient access to major routes like US-1, facilitating connections to key employment hubs and popular destinations, including the Florida Keys. Significantly, the area is undergoing a transformation with the redevelopment of Southland Mall into the Southplace City Center, which introduces a mixed-use space featuring retail, hospitality, and residential units, further enhancing community attractiveness. Proposed infrastructure improvements, such as the southwest extension of the Dolphin Expressway, promise to boost connectivity, making Cottage Grove an even more desirable place to live.

RHP Properties, founded in 1988, has been at the forefront of managing manufactured home communities, adhering to a philosophy that prioritizes residents and fosters the creation of well-maintained, affordable living spaces. Headquartered in Farmington Hills, Michigan, RHP is the largest privately held owner and operator in this sector.

As Miami continues to confront challenges related to housing affordability, projects like Cottage Grove stand out as beacons of hope, offering families an opportunity for sustainable living in a community designed with their well-being in mind. This development marks a significant step towards alleviating the housing crisis while promoting a balanced lifestyle for its residents.
