Lily Dale is a unique, gated community with strict rules. You must be a member in good standing of the Spiritualist religion, and property is handled through leaseholds rather than traditional land ownership. Housing and Rules: No Land Ownership: You cannot actually buy and own the land under a home. Instead, you buy a leasehold that gives you the right to live on the property for a set number of years. Cash Only: Mortgages are not allowed inside the community, meaning you must buy your home outright with cash. Even without land ownership, you still have to pay property taxes. Religious Requirement: You must be a member in "good standing" of a recognized Spiritualist church and go through an application process with the Lily Dale Assembly board of directors. Community Life: Small Population: Only around 250 to 275 people live there year-round, though thousands of visitors arrive during the summer program season. Lily Dale is considered to be the 'Psychic Capital Of The World'. The lease fee to the 'Lily Dale Assembly' is currently $1143/year.
