Beloved RV Park in Sheridan, Colorado, to Close for Apartment Complex; Residents Face Displacement Amid Housing Crunch The Flying Saucer RV Park, a long-standing low-cost housing option in Sheridan, Colorado, is set to close by the end of June, making way for a new apartment complex. The park, which has been home to dozens of long-term residents, will be replaced by a three hundred sixty-two-unit apartment complex, leaving many residents facing displacement amid the states ongoing affordable housing crisis. The property, which has been owned by a family for seventy-five years, was sold to Indiana-based Garrett Companies due to rising costs and maintenance. The city council approved the rezoning in November, and while Garrett Companies plans to hire a consultant to help residents find new housing, the new apartments will be market-rate, with rents likely ranging from one thousand six hundred to two thousand six hundred dollars a month. Residents, such as Steve Ohlfest, who has lived in the park for twenty-one years, are struggling to find affordable housing options in metro Denver, with few year-round RV options and higher rates everywhere. The closure of the park has also been met with frustration over poor communication from the city and park owners, with some residents receiving short-notice evictions after others skipped rent.
