Open Gate Mobile Home Park

Stuart, Florida, is a small coastal city located in southeastern Florida, within Martin County. It sits along the St. Lucie River and the Atlantic Ocean, offering a mix of waterfront charm and small-town character. Stuart is home to around 20,000 residents and is known as the "Sailfish Capital of the World" for its rich fishing heritage. Founded in the early 20th century, Stuart developed as a hub for fishing and tourism, benefiting from its strategic coastal location. The city's economy has historically been tied to marine industries and hospitality, although it has diversified over time. Today, the local economy includes healthcare, education, and small businesses, but job growth has been modest. The median household income in Stuart is approximately $65,495, which is about average for the United States. Housing costs, however, are relatively high, with a median home price around $398,660. This discrepancy contributes to affordability challenges for many residents. There is a growing need for affordable housing options, such as manufactured homes, to support the community's diverse population. In summary, Stuart is a vibrant coastal community offering a blend of historic charm and natural beauty. While it provides a peaceful lifestyle for its residents, the city faces ongoing economic pressures and a critical need for more accessible, affordable housing solutions.The MHP Value Team at EXP Commercial is pleased to offer for sale Open Gate MHP, a 23-unit mobile home park located in the rapidly growing and highly desirable Stuart, FL market, just minutes from the downtown core.
