Marlborough Mobile Home Park Bought By Boston Investment Company

MARLBOROUGH, MA — A Boston-based real estate investment firm recently purchased one of the largest remaining mobile home parks in the region, according to county records.

Boston-based The Broadway Company paid $17.1 million for the Post Road Mobile Home Park, 181 Boston Post Road, a 102-unit community located east of downtown Marlborough. The park has been renamed Marlboro Village, according to the Boston Real Estate Times.

Businessmen Ernest Winske Sr. and Carl Rowe Sr. opened the park in 1955, and the Winske family has owned and operated it ever since. The park offers mobile homes to buy and rent, and pads to lease.

The sale to The Broadway Company closed on June 24, according to the Middlesex County Registry of Deeds.

The mobile home park was the subject of a Marlborough City Council agreement in November. The city gave then-owner David Winske permission to split the park into two parcels, with one containing 10 mobile home lots, according to city records.

The Broadway Company — started by the founder of Boston Realty Advisors — specializes in investing in mobile home parks, but also apartment buildings and shopping plazas, according to the company's website. The company also recently purchased the Windy Acres mobile home park in Chester, N.J.
