After his wife died, retired plumber Leonard Selinsky tried to simplify his life by moving into Sunset Village, a mobile home park in Glenview with tidy homes and friendly neighbors.His new home is no trailer – it’s a two-story Cape Cod with three bedrooms and an attic. “I love my house," he said. "This is ideal for me.” But in recent years, Selinsky and other residents say, the park’s streets have been crumbling, water service has cut out for days at a time, and they can’t drink the water because it’s contaminated. Now, the situation has worsened: Sunset Village is in foreclosure, and residents fear it could be sold and demolished, leaving them with homes they can’t afford to move.
