About

Developed by Louis Y. El’Chonen, construction began in 1988.

Louis El’Chonen was born and raised in Michigan and has been a developer of quality residential and commercial properties in both Florida and Michigan for over 60 years.

After developing several upscale affordable Mobile Home projects in Southwest Florida, Louis turned his attention to Michigan. He saw that people in Michigan could benefit from a subdivision styled manufactured home community like the upscale retirement communities in Florida.

With this in mind, he designed and developed American Presidential Estates & Capitol Hills.

Not everyone believed it could be done, and it didn’t happen overnight, but like every project he ever started, Louis fought the trend and brought it to completion.
