...G & R Property Management has been in the business of providing affordable, well maintained housing. Tommy Glisson, that's me, and my first partner, my mother, Velma Halsted started our first endeavor, the Glisson Mobile Home Park, with a commitment to friendly, personal service and an ethic for doing things right the first time.
The Glisson park went over so well that in 1964, we built the Roxanne Mobile Home park, which also flourished.
Prior to the mid 1960's most homes had one larger bedroom at the rear of the
home and another smaller bedroom; that lost thirty to thirty-six square
feet of space to the hallway! With the needs of our tenants in mind, Mr.
Glisson, that's me, and Mrs. Halsted, that's my mom, if you remember,
were the first landlords in Carbondale to go to the mobile home manufactures
and custom order new homes with two equal-sized bedrooms at each end of
the home, insuring more privacy for each of the renters. That was just
the beginning of the things that were done with customer service in mind.
When the cost of propane gas became prohibitive to the tenants, We used
funds from our business operating budget to install natural gas lines
to each of our mobile home spaces, saving tenants up to 67% on their heating
bills.
When it came to the mobile homes, we wanted all of our customers to feel
as if they were home.
A MOBILE HOME YOU CAN CALL HOME
Besides putting the bedrooms at each end of the mobile homes, G & R Property
Management has provided other amenities as well. The price of the rent
includes the water and sewer bill, lawn care, tree trimming, and trash
pick-up. G & R provides top-notch maintenance and 24 hour emergency service
for its tenants. I wouldn't have it any other way.
When it was time for a mobile home to be remodeled, My mom and I knew
what to do; we went directly to the carpet mill in Dalton, Georgia. We
felt our customers should get a rental home we would want to live in ourselves.
Other available services are;
- Recently remodeled units
- A Laundromat on site
- Secure, locking mailboxes
- 6, 9 and 12- month leases at the Roxanne Park
- Roxanne Park located on the Saluki Bus Route
- A wooded feel, quiet environment, and is close to campus and
grocery
G & R Property Management has a variety of mobile homes available:
Mobile Homes
- 1, 2, & 3 bedroom mobile homes available
- $230-$550 per month.
As a special bonus to tenants who sign a 12 month lease, Tommy, that's
me, will reduce summer rent, making it more economical to stay and work
or go to school than to move your stuff back home.
Unfortunately, we do not allow pets in any of our properties.
