About Us

Welcome!

Betmar Acres is a manufactured home community located in Zephyrhills, Florida which consists of over 1,600 homes set among landscaped common areas, community buildings and recreational amenities. It is a community of warm friendliness with many activities and social events..

History

In 1966 Florida boasted had only four mobile home parks. Seizing an opportunity, Mr. M. H. Meengs bought 200 acres of farmland along Highway 54 in Zephyrhills, including a caretaker’s home, which is the present Betmar realty office. Mr. Meengs and his partner, George Sprinkle, named the park Betmar for their wives, Betty and Mary, respectively.

Over the years, additional sections were added to the park. Today, we have approximately 440 acres, nearly 1,700 residences, 2 swimming pools, 27 holes of golf, 24 covered shuffleboard courts which host state-wide tournaments, 3 very active clubhouses, tennis and pickleball courts and much more!

Fifty years later, Betmar remains a very special place to call home with a true, family atmosphere among our residents.

HOPA (the 55 & Older regulations)

HOPA (click here for additional BETMAR HOPA Info)– the Housing for Older Persons Act of 1995 – allows Betmar residents to protect the lifestyle they desire when moving into the community. The law requires that one person living in each home in the Park must be at least 55 years of age. Betmar is required to verify this information by maintaining up to date records. Currently, a person is NOT allowed to attend school or be home-schooled using a Betmar residence as an address of record.
