On-Site Manager

A park employee who lives at the park and handles day-to-day operations and resident interactions.

An on-site manager is a park employee who typically lives in a designated park-manager unit and handles day-to-day operations: rent collection, maintenance request triage, vendor coordination, applicant tours and screening, and resident relations. Most parks above 60 lots benefit from a dedicated on-site manager; below that, a part-time arrangement or remote management with a roving manager can work. Compensation is typically a hybrid of hourly base pay plus a collection-bonus tied to economic occupancy, supplemented with a housing benefit (free or reduced lot rent).
