In my experience, there have been safety concerns at night. The small community library was damaged by fire (I saw the burned building and noticed it had been burned). The pool is closed about half the time when I go there. There doesn't appear to be onsite security; tenants often report suspicious activity themselves. I feel management has not responded adequately to these issues. If you're considering Rancho Valley, ask management about security and pool availability and check recent reviews. read more

Management needs to take action! As a resident of this mobile home park, I've observed a car detailer operating in our shared car wash area, servicing a single tenant's vehicle during the weekend. This prevents other residents from using the car wash for its intended purpose. Is this permitted within the park's rules, is it fair to other tenants? Most mobile home parks have specific rules about commercial activities. If the rules prohibit businesses operating within the park, especially using shared amenities like the car wash area, then the detailer is likely in violation. Even if there isn't a specific rule against detailing, using the car wash for an extended period for a commercial purpose could be considered against the intended use of the amenity. The park management likely has the authority to restrict or prohibit this kind of activity. *Fairness to other tenants: It's generally not considered fair for one tenant to monopolize a shared amenity for their private business, especially if it prevents other tenants from using it for its intended purpose (washing their cars). Even if the detailer is only there occasionally, if it causes inconvenience or restricts access for others, it's a valid concern. * What this is called: Several terms could apply:     * Exclusive use of a common area:** This highlights the fact that a shared resource is being used primarily by one individual, excluding others.     * Misappropriation of resources:** This implies the detailer is using the car wash area for a purpose it wasn't intended for, potentially at the expense of other residents.     * Unfair business practice (within the context of the mobile home park):** While not a legal term in this context, it reflects the sentiment that the detailer is gaining an unfair advantage by using a shared resource for commercial gain.     * Breach of contract (potentially):** If the park's rules prohibit this activity, the tenant who hired the detailer (and potentially the detailer themselves if they were aware of the rules) could be in breach of their lease agreement with the mobile park. On another note, a tenant is disturbing the peace by making renovations to their home during nighttime hours, which is unacceptable.

The current management is horrible! They are never available for anything and have recently caused costly problems for several tenants with screwed up parking availability. The current management is only concerned with profit for the company that owns it. read more

Earlier this year the pool bathrooms were closed for 7 months. The management should have provided port a potties but didn't. Now the pool and spa are closed, with no reopening date given. We did receive our annual rent increase despite a reduction of amenities. read more

My husband and I have lived here for last 6 or 7 years. Since Marissa has left the office, we can't get through on the phone. All we get is a pre-recorded message to call during office hours. We call during office hours to no avail, no one answered the phone. Such a shoddy enterprise. read more

This place is owned by greedy corporate investors who impose much higher rent than other parks. They do not include even sewer or trash in the space rent. I have lived here 4 years. Rent was 1200. Now 1375. The worst of it is I listed my home for sale and the park imposed a maximum 10% increase in the space rent. 140 more a month. I have had my home listed for 4 months. 3 bd/2 ba. 1344 SF Blt in 2008. A beautiful, upgraded home. Yet because the high increase in rent to the next owner, I have not received a single offer. The comments from the potential buyers are we want it but wont pay the high space rent when we could buy a mile or two away and pay 1300-1350 for space rent. As a result I have lowered my sale price from $250K tot $205K losing my equity to compensate for the higher rent and still no offers. I see homes for sale online not as new and also smaller being sold for much more because the park rent is lower. I have reached out to County Board of Supervisors, the Senator and Governor to advocate for more protection to homeowners in mobile home parks to prevent this. The attitude from the district manager is if you don't like then move. If newcomers don't like the rent, the don't have to buy. She didn't try to work with me. This predicament has been very difficult. I am now contacting a higher supervisor to request the rent increase to the new owner be lowered to 5% instead of 10% so I can sell the home! I literally feel trapped and helpless. read more

We have owned a mobile home in here for 3 years, never had any problems. The office staff always answers when I call unless it's lunch or after hours. They are nice and even when we brought home a dog without pre-approval they were fine. Our neighbors on both sides are considerate. We have used the pool a few times and everything was fine. Things require maintenance and sometimes especially during a pandemic it takes time to find someone to fix it. read more

I've been living here for almost 3yrs years, the management when I moved in was useless but then they got replaced. The new management seem to know what they are doing, the community has gotten some upgrades and repairs (street /landscaping/pool area etc). Rent does go up from time to time but thats anywhere you rent. In all, I can say that it is a quite place and I like it here. read more
