If you're looking for something that may cost more up front but have little on-going costs or maintenance requirements maybe a nice cobblestone sitting area would work. or a cheaper option would be cement tiles.

Hi Apurva,53 units -- It would be smart to talk to an Architect who does multi-family (In your general area) about the cost of doing a restyle as well as colors.Especially if you choose a Hardie (Fiber Cement type) product.With Hardie (Type) products, read the upkeep instructions, some require re-applying the joint sealers (factor that into your maintenance budget).Also with Hardie (Type) products there is a service life to the color...some come pre-colored, some your contractors must paint on site, (some require priming of cuts when installed)---talk to the Architect about the maintenance schedule and the CAPEX for this.Hardie makes big sheets of this for multi-family that Architects can use for visual effect and ease of installation.With 53 units--springing for an Architect to help with this would be intelligent.Good Luck!

You had to have a cement slab poured to install it on $500.

Not sure if it would be in the X or AE flood zone - I'm still looking for a good lot.If I went with the AE flood zone the elevation of the home wold have to be around 9'-11' and I'd want cement pillars. 

The bridge is in rough shape and the engineering firm I had looked at it said that it would only support the weight of a pickup truck but would not support the weight of a cement truck or larger weights required for development or required by the fire marshal.

It’s was like $100 of pvc rest was labor and $5 of cement.

Most foundations in Baltimore are cement or at least stone and they are below grade, so I don't understand why you would need to replace a foundation.

You have to decide if your willing to pay for empty lots (what's the condition of electrical, water, sewer, cement pad etc at these empties) and the Value of the park owned homes.

I will never do roofing, drywall, cement flatwork, or gutters ever again.Everything else is fair game. 

Blocks in a cement pad are harder to move than a stake.
