Park count and lot count in Oregon
Oregon is home to approximately 620 mobile home parks containing roughly 68,000 lots — making it a significant MHP markets in the United States. The average park size is around 110 lots, skewed toward larger institutional-scale assets.
These figures are estimates compiled from US Census manufactured-housing data, MHI shipment reports, and state-level MHP industry surveys. The actual count fluctuates as new parks come online (slowly) and existing parks redevelop into other land uses (also slowly).
Lot rent levels in Oregon
Average lot rent in Oregon parks runs approximately $700 per month as of 2026. Oregon's lot rents are in line with the broader West Coast average — neither premium nor discount.
Operators benchmarking against the state average should keep in mind that lot rents vary widely by submarket within Oregon. Metro-area parks routinely run 30–60% above the state average; rural parks often sit 20–30% below. The state average is a starting point, not a price-setting input.
Cap rates and valuation in Oregon
Stabilized MHP cap rates in Oregon cluster between 6.5% and 7.5% as of 2026, placing the state in the tier2 tier of MHP markets nationally. Lower cap rates apply to larger, fully-stabilized, TOH-heavy assets in the strongest submarkets; higher cap rates apply to smaller, value-add, or POH-heavy parks.
Recent transactions in Oregon reflect the macro cap-rate stabilization that played out across MHP nationally in 2024-2025. Cap rate compression of the 2018-2021 era is over; the new normal is range-bound pricing with mild upward movement in higher-rate environments.

Regulatory environment in Oregon
Oregon has statewide MHP rent control, which materially affects acquisition underwriting. Rent-increase trajectory is capped, so the value-add story relies more on infill and operational improvements than on rent ratchets. Lenders price this in via slightly wider cap rates.
Beyond rent control, Oregon's ORS Chapter 90 (with MHP-specific provisions) governs the broader MHP landlord-tenant relationship — notice periods, eviction procedures, lease requirements. Compliance is uniform across the state, so multi-park Oregon operators can run a single playbook rather than per-jurisdiction variance.
What to watch in 2026
Oregon's tight market means acquisition opportunities are scarce. Watch for: distressed seller situations (especially older operators reaching exit age), broker pocket-listings before they hit the market, and any submarket softening that signals cap rate widening. Operator buyers with patient capital will outperform those who chase compressed-cap deals.
