Saddle Creek by UMH Properties won MHI’s Excellence in Manufactured Housing Award for Land-Lease Community of the Year, recognizing its transformation into a high-quality community and source of affordable housing in Dothan, Alabama.

Purchased in 2022 as UMH’s first Alabama community, Saddle Creek faced operational and reputational challenges. Through cleanup, infrastructure improvements, professional management and capital investment, UMH transformed the property into an attractive place to live.

The 116-site community is being revitalized with HUD Code homes featuring three bedrooms, two baths, open-concept floor plans, front porches, private driveways and storage sheds. On-site management, 24-hour maintenance and resident events strengthen the community, making Saddle Creek an example of how reinvestment and professional management can restore pride and expand housing opportunities.
