What residents say elsewhere
Collected from public sources, summarized and attributed, with links to the originals. Summaries describe what reviewers and reporters say; allegations are not findings.
- google-reviews — Google reviews for Clear Water (62430 Locust Rd, South Bend) include a detailed homeowner account: the reviewer says they bought their trailer for almost $20,000 three years ago and lot rent rose from $299/month to $480/month; they allege being charged about $430 for eviction papers less than two weeks into a month and being nearly $1,000 in debt by day 12, questioning how the park could pursue their owned trailer over one month of back rent, and say they plan to sell to anyone but Clear Water or haul the home off. A 23-year resident says lot rent is very expensive and the park went downhill over the past 10 years. Another reviewer alleges staff lied to get them to buy a home and then falsely told them they would not be allowed to remove a home purchased from the park. Original source
Themes: rent, fees, blocked-sale, management - other · 3.5 (192 reviews) — Via Birdeye aggregate (pool-mixing documented; park attribution uncertain): the 'Clear Water Posse' Birdeye page (same Locust Rd address) is rated 3.5 across 192 reviews; a visible review alleges constant harassment and claims that when a trailer gets 'out of date' the park takes residents to court, evicts them and takes over the mortgage. Treat as allegation from an aggregated pool. Original source
