Kline's Resort is a waterfront community in the Vicksburg Community Schools district, set along Portage Lake, where folks aged 55 and over can buy manufactured homes, seasonal RVs, or park models, but the place is open to guests of all ages, and you'll see all sorts of people coming for camping or visiting family, and people can choose from about 150 home sites and 85 RV sites, some year-round and some just for the summer, and while there are three bedroom, two bath manufactured homes for sale, like the one built in 1989 with 1,700 square feet, a basement, fireplace, and even a four-season porch, others look for smaller, seasonal spots or park models with options like storage sheds, garages, porches, and lake views, all set on small, easy-to-care-for lots usually about 11,000 square feet but with some irregular shapes because of the lake.
The homes and sites are spread out with paved streets and on-street parking for guests, and many come with updates like new flooring, ceiling lights, blinds, or composite decks, and folks who buy here pay site rent, which runs $518 a month, and that covers water, sewer, garbage, and even leaf, snow, and yard waste pickup, and taxes are quite low too, only about $3 a month if you're there more than half the month, with personal property taxes for anything that's an addition, like a carport or porch. The water and sewer come from public utilities, and the homes stay comfortable with forced air, gas heating, and central air, and plenty of homes have vaulted ceilings, remodeled kitchens with all appliances, large bedrooms, closets for storage, and bathrooms that have bathtubs, and you get lake access from many sites with a boat launch, marina, and all sports lake rights, and everyone in the community can use the shared beach as well.
The clubhouse is a big draw for gatherings, with a café, dining room, fireplace and rooms for events or meetings, plus a fitness center, library, laundry, and a concert stage outside for summer nights, and if you want to stay active there are sport courts for basketball and tennis, and even a playground for when the grandkids visit, and the place lets you have pets as long as you follow the rules. There are walking paths, a calendar full of events, and fishing or boating for those who like to spend time outside, and it's quiet with small yards for gardening or relaxing, all arranged around well-kept roads, lake views, and plenty of trees, and there's help with trimming and maintenance.
For those who don't want to worry about much, the community's got guidelines and rules for smooth living, equal housing, and short-term stays, and the staff make sure homes pass inspections for health and safety when someone wants to buy or sell, and everything is sold as is without extra promises, and folks can rent carports, garages, storage, or even a dock for their boat. The active community is aimed for retirees, snowbirds, or empty nesters who want a friendly atmosphere, and there's support for living independently, whether you live here year-round or just when the weather's nice, and anyone interested can come see the place, look over the homes, and talk through the process before moving in.
