Breaking Down Living Costs at Parc Bisbee: What Utilities Are Covered?

Introduction: Clear Costs, No Surprises

When choosing a new home, one of the most important questions people ask is: “What’s included in my rent, and what will I need to pay separately?” At many parks or communities, these details are hidden behind fine print or complicated billing systems.

At Parc Bisbee, we believe in complete transparency. We want every resident to know exactly what’s covered and what’s billed separately, so you can plan your budget with confidence. This post breaks down what utilities are included in your rent, what’s metered, and why our system is designed with fairness in mind.


What’s Included in Your Lot Rent

Whether you’re renting a mobile home lot ($395/month) or an RV lot ($350/month, 90-day minimum stay), you’ll enjoy essential services included directly in your rent:

Sewer Service

  • Full sewer service is included in your rent.
  • No need to manage a separate account.

Trash Disposal

  • Weekly trash disposal service is included.
  • Valued at $69.31/month if billed separately, this is one of the most important savings for residents.

Community Maintenance

  • Parc Bisbee reinvests part of your rent into keeping the property safe, clean, and welcoming.
  • Well-lit streets, landscaped grounds, and maintained facilities are all part of your rental value.

What’s Metered Separately (and Why It Benefits You)

While sewer and trash are included, some utilities are metered individually. This approach ensures you only pay for what you actually use.

Water

  • Billed based on actual consumption.
  • Encourages conservation and prevents residents from paying for their neighbors’ usage.

Electricity

  • Provided directly through APS (Arizona Public Service).
  • Residents receive regular, itemized bills just like any other Arizona household.

Gas

  • Provided through Southwest Gas.
  • Ensures reliable service without any middleman markups.

This setup gives you control over your expenses while keeping the base rent as affordable as possible.


Why This System Is Fairer Than “All-Inclusive” Rent

Some communities charge higher flat rates that include utilities, but this often means:

  • Light users subsidize heavy users.
  • Water waste goes unchecked.
  • Residents pay more overall for convenience.

By separating metered utilities from flat-rate rent, Parc Bisbee ensures that your bill reflects your lifestyle—not your neighbor’s.


Sample Monthly Living Costs at Parc Bisbee

Here’s an example of what a typical resident might expect per month:
