Don't let the Syosset Mobile Home Park Die!

The Syosset Manufactured Home Park is alive with decent hardworking people and families, we have invested our life savings to purchase our manufactured homes to have a safe and stable home and decent neighborhood to live in and raise a family. This Park has had a quiet history here in Oyster Bay Township for over 80 years.

The Syosset Mobile Home Park is a quiet, close knit community of 70 families. On April 2, 2007 our park was sold to a developer, STP Associates, LLC. The residents at Syosset Mobile Home Park were devastated and blindsided by the sale. STP Associates, LLC has indicated that they would like to close down our park and advised us to take our homes and get off their land. Our homes cannot be moved for many reasons and we will receive no compensation should we leave our homes behind. The residents of our community have scrimped and saved to purchase their homes and are now facing the reality of their families becoming homeless or dependent upon public assistance. We have put our life savings into purchasing, furnishing and refurbishing our homes and each of us stands to lose our homes, our only assets.

On October 7th, we hosted our first of several fund raisers to help raise money to offset our legal costs to fight to keep our park and our homes. Our goal is to raise enough money to cover our legal costs and to purchase our park to make it a co-operative community.
