The new owners of the Cherry Grove Mobile Home Park will soon demolish the 1931-era single-family home on the property to construct a new tenant laundry room and two additional Recreational Vehicle (RV) parking pads with utility connections. Bexco Property purchased the parcel at 9035 SE Division Street in August 2020. The sub-30-unit site offers a mix of mobile homes, studio apartments, and RVs.
According to a City of Portland inventory of Manufactured Dwelling Parks, the Cherry Grove site began operation in 1946, offering cost-effective housing to the neighborhood. This location is one of two Montavilla properties where people can rent or park mobile dwellings. When correctly managed, mobile home parks provide an essential niche in the housing ecosystem. These renovations indicate an investment in the property amenities while adding to the available unit count.
The old house on the property is stripped and ready for deconstruction. Demolition crews must wait until a 35-holding period elapses on October 13th. Then, they will level the single-story building and fill its basement cavity. Once the area is clear, construction workers can build the new tenant laundry room and RV parking pads.
