River Acres

A resident-owned community

Welcome Home!

River Acres is a resident-owned manufactured home community in Missoula, Mont. River Acres is conveniently located just two miles from downtown Missoula, and about an hour from Flathead Lake.

Our ideal setting allows for easy access to Highway 93 South and we can be at the gates of Glacier National Park in just under three hours. We are a friendly neighborhood for people who love outdoor activities and living in a small mountain town.

Clark Fork Valley is a short five-minute drive, where we enjoy hiking and afternoon picnics. On a clear day, the views of Flathead Lake, and Big Mountain are spectacular. Just 10 minutes from Missoula College, we are centrally located for easy access to all Kalispell has to offer.

River Acres is owned by the Community Members who live here – we are a resident-owned community (ROC).

We own it

The Member homeowners of River Acres control the rent and make the rules. On Feb. 7, 2014, the ROC purchased the land and infrastructure, such as the roads and water lines. Now, a democratically elected Board of Directors manages the business of running River Acres. Every Member household in the community has a say in who sits on the Board, how we spend our money, the annual budget, and whether we make changes to the rent.

We’re also part of a national network of more than 250 ROCs just like us. That membership provides us with access to expert coaching on how to run our ROC, leadership development and training, communication with dozens of community leaders who face many of the same issues we do, and more. Life in River Acres is truly different than in a commercially owned community – we invite you to find out firsthand how that difference makes living here so much better.
