Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Basis of Presentation	Organization and Basis of Presentation Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. (“ELS”), a Maryland corporation, together with MHC Operating Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and its other consolidated subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”), are referred to herein as “we,” “us,” and “our”. We are a fully integrated owner of lifestyle-oriented properties (“Properties”) consisting of property operations and home sales and rental operations primarily within manufactured home (“MH”) and recreational vehicle (“RV”) communities and marinas. We provide our customers the opportunity to place manufactured homes and cottages, RVs and/or boats on our Properties either on a long-term or short-term basis. Our customers may lease individual developed areas (“Sites”) or enter into right-to-use contracts, also known as membership subscriptions, which provide them access to specific Properties for limited stays. Our Properties are owned primarily by the Operating Partnership and managed internally by affiliates of the Operating Partnership. ELS is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, has exclusive responsibility and discretion in management and control of the Operating Partnership and held a 95.3% interest as of March 31, 2023. As the general partner with control, ELS is the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidates, the Operating Partnership. Equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which ELS does not have a controlling interest or for variable interest entities in which ELS is not considered the primary beneficiary, but with respect to which it can exercise significant influence over operations and major decisions. Our exposure to losses associated with unconsolidated joint ventures is primarily limited to the carrying value of these investments. Accordingly, distributions from a joint venture in excess of our carrying value are recognized in earnings. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. All adjustments to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are of a normal, recurring nature and, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods. Revenues and expenses are subject to seasonal fluctuations and accordingly, quarterly interim results may not be indicative of full year results. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified on our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements to conform with current year presentation.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	3 Months Ended
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Mar. 31, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Revenue Recognition Our revenue streams are predominantly derived from customers renting our Sites or entering into membership subscriptions. Leases with customers renting our Sites are accounted for as operating leases. The rental income associated with these leases is accounted for in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, and is recognized over the term of the respective lease or the length of a customer’s stay. MH Sites are generally leased on an annual basis to residents who own or lease factory-built homes, including manufactured homes. RV and marina Sites are leased to those who generally have an RV, factory-built cottage, boat or other unit placed on the site, including those customers renting marina dry storage slips. Annual Sites are leased on an annual basis, including those Northern Properties that are open for the summer season. Seasonal Sites are leased to customers generally for one to six months. Transient Sites are leased to customers on a short-term basis. We do not separate expenses reimbursed by our customers (“utility recoveries”) from the associated rental income as we meet the practical expedient criteria of ASC 842, Leases to combine the lease and non-lease components. We assessed the criteria and concluded that the timing and pattern of transfer for rental income and the associated utility recoveries are the same and, as our leases qualify as operating leases, we account for and present rental income and utility recoveries as a single component under Rental income in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. In addition, customers may lease homes that are located in our communities. These leases are accounted for as operating leases. Rental income derived from customers leasing homes is also accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases and is recognized over the term of the respective lease. The allowance for credit losses related to the collectability of lease receivables is presented as a reduction to Rental income. Lease receivables are presented within Other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are net of an allowance for credit losses. The estimate for credit losses is a result of our ongoing assessments and evaluations of collectability, including historical loss experience, current market conditions and future expectations in forecasting credit losses. Annual membership subscriptions and membership upgrade sales are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Membership subscriptions provide our customers access to specific Properties for limited stays at a specified group of Properties. Payments are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the one-year period during which access to Sites at certain Properties is provided. Membership subscription receivables are presented within Other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are net of an allowance for credit losses. Membership upgrades grant certain additional access rights to the customer and require non-refundable upfront payments. The non-refundable upfront payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. Financed upgrade sales (also known as contract receivables) are presented within Notes receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are net of an allowance for credit losses. Income from home sales is recognized when the earnings process is complete. The earnings process is complete when the home has been delivered, the purchaser has accepted the home and title has transferred. We have a limited program under which we purchase loans made by an unaffiliated lender to homebuyers at our Properties. Financed home sales (also known as chattel loans) are presented within Notes receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are net of an allowance for credit losses. (b) Restricted Cash As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, restricted cash consisted of $19.8 million and $19.7 million, respectively, primarily related to cash reserved for customer deposits and escrows for insurance and real estate taxes. (c) Casualty related charges/(recoveries), net During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, we recognized expenses of approximately $8.5 million related to debris removal and cleanup related to Hurricane Ian and an offsetting insurance recovery revenue accrual of $8.5 million related to the expected insurance recovery as a result of Hurricane Ian.

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

Lessor

The leases entered into between the customer and us for rental of a Site are renewable upon the consent of both parties or, in some instances, as provided by statute. Long-term leases that are non-cancelable by the tenants are in effect at certain Properties. Rental rate increases at these Properties are primarily a function of increases in the Consumer Price Index, taking into consideration certain conditions. Additionally, periodic market rate adjustments are made as deemed appropriate. In addition, certain state statutes allow entry into long-term agreements that effectively modify lease terms related to rent amounts and increases over the term of the agreements. The following table presents future minimum rents expected to be received under long-term non-cancelable tenant leases, as well as those leases that are subject to long-term agreements governing rent payments and increases:

We lease land under non-cancelable operating leases at 10 Properties expiring at various dates between 2028 and 2054. The majority of the leases have terms requiring fixed payments plus additional rents based on a percentage of gross revenues at those Properties. We also have other operating leases, primarily office space, expiring at various dates through 2032. For the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, total operating lease payments were $1.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes our minimum future rental payments, excluding variable costs, which are discounted by our incremental borrowing rate to calculate the lease liability for our operating leases as of March 31, 2023:

The weighted average remaining lease term for our operating leases was nine years and the weighted average incremental borrowing rate was 3.8% at March 31, 2023.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Borrowing Arrangements

Mortgage Notes Payable

Our mortgage notes payable are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the fair value of our mortgage notes payable:


	As of March 31, 2023				As of December 31, 2022
(amounts in thousands)	Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value
Mortgage notes payable, excluding deferred financing costs	$	2,100,665	$	2,701,638	$	2,043,412	$	2,718,114

The weighted average interest rate on our outstanding mortgage indebtedness, including the impact of premium/discount amortization and loan cost amortization on mortgage indebtedness, as of March 31, 2023, was approximately 3.7% per annum. The debt bears interest at stated rates ranging from 2.4% to 8.9% per annum and matures on various dates ranging from 2023 to 2041. The debt encumbered a total of 114 of our Properties as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the gross carrying value of such Properties was approximately $2,895.2 million and $2,868.3 million, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Unsecured Debt

We previously entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which we have access to a $500.0 million unsecured line of credit (the “LOC”) and a $300.0 million senior unsecured term loan (the “$300 million Term Loan”). On March 1, 2023, we amended the Credit Agreement to transition the LIBOR rate borrowings to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) borrowings. The LOC bears interest at a rate of SOFR plus 1.25% to 1.65% and requires an annual facility fee of 0.20% to 0.35%. The $300 million Term Loan has an interest rate of SOFR plus 1.40% to 1.95% per annum. For both the LOC and the $300 million Term Loan, the spread over SOFR is variable based on leverage throughout the respective loan terms. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has no remaining LIBOR based borrowings.

The LOC had a balance of $212.0 million and $198.0 million outstanding as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, our LOC had a remaining borrowing capacity of $288.0 million.

As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance in all material respects with the covenants in all our borrowing arrangements.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we entered into a $200.0 million senior unsecured term loan agreement (the “$200 million Term Loan”). The maturity date is January 21, 2027, with an interest rate of SOFR plus approximately 1.30% to 1.80%, depending on leverage levels.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments and Hedging

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

We record all derivatives at fair value. Our objective in utilizing interest rate derivatives is to add stability to our interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. We do not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes.

In March 2021, we entered into a Swap Agreement (the “2021 Swap”) with a notional amount of $300.0 million allowing us to trade the variable interest rate associated with our $300.0 million Term Loan for a fixed interest rate. In March 2023, we amended the 2021 Swap agreement to reflect the change in the $300.0 million Term Loan interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR (see Note 8.Borrowing arrangements). The 2021 Swap has a fixed interest rate of 0.41% per annum and matures on March 25, 2024. Based on the leverage as of March 31, 2023, our spread over SOFR was 1.40% resulting in an estimated all-in interest rate of 1.81% per annum.

In April 2023, we entered into a Swap Agreement (the “2023 Swap”) with a notional amount of $200.0 million allowing us to trade the variable interest rate associated with our $200.0 million Term Loan for a fixed interest rate. The 2023 Swap has a fixed interest rate of 3.68% per annum and matures on January 21, 2027. Based on the leverage as of March 31, 2023, our spread over SOFR was 1.20% resulting in an estimated all-in interest rate of 4.88% per annum.

Our derivative financial instrument was classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the fair value of our derivative financial instrument:


		As of March 31,		As of December 31,
(amounts in thousands)	Balance Sheet Location	2023		2022
Interest Rate Swap	Other assets, net	$	15,141	$	19,119

The following table presents the effect of our derivative financial instrument on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income:


Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationship	Amount of (gain)/loss recognized in OCI on derivative for the quarters ended March 31,				Location of (gain)/ loss reclassified from accumulated OCI into income	Amount of (gain)/loss reclassified from accumulated OCI into income for the quarters ended March 31,
(amounts in thousands)	2023		2022		(amounts in thousands)	2023		2022
Interest Rate Swap	$	523	$	(9,661)	Interest Expense	$	(3,455)	$	263

During the next twelve months, we estimate that $14.0 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense. This estimate may be subject to change as the underlying SOFR changes. We determined that no adjustment was necessary for non-performance risk on our derivative obligation. As of March 31, 2023, we had not posted any collateral related to the 2021 Swap.

Equity Incentive Awards	3 Months Ended

Equity Incentive Awards	Equity Incentive Awards Our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors on March 11, 2014 and approved by our stockholders on May 13, 2014. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, 82,884 shares of restricted stock were awarded to certain members of our management team. Of these shares, 50% are time-based awards, vesting in equal installments over a three-year period on January 30, 2024, February 4, 2025 and February 3, 2026, respectively, and have a grant date fair value of $3.0 million. The remaining 50% are performance-based awards vesting in equal installments on January 30, 2024, February 4, 2025 and February 3, 2026, respectively, upon meeting performance conditions as established by the Compensation Committee in the year of the vesting period. They are valued using the closing price at the grant date when all the key terms and conditions are known to all parties. The 13,812 shares of restricted stock subject to 2023 performance goals have a grant date fair value of $1.0 million. Stock based compensation expense, reported in General and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, was $2.5 million and $2.6 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies	3 Months Ended
Commitments and Contingencies	Mar. 31, 2023
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	We are involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings (“Proceedings”) arising in the ordinary course of business. The Proceedings include, but are not limited to, legal claims made by employees, vendors and customers, and notices, consent decrees, information requests, additional permit requirements and other similar enforcement actions by governmental agencies relating to our utility infrastructure, including water and wastewater treatment plants and other waste treatment facilities and electrical systems. Additionally, in the ordinary course of business, our operations are subject to audit by various taxing authorities. Management believes these Proceedings taken together do not represent a material liability. In addition, to the extent any such Proceedings or audits relate to newly acquired Properties, we consider any potential indemnification obligations of sellers in our favor.

Reportable Segments

Mar. 31, 2023

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Reportable Segments

We have identified two reportable segments: (i) Property Operations and (ii) Home Sales and Rentals Operations. The Property Operations segment owns and operates land lease Properties and the Home Sales and Rentals Operations segment purchases, sells and leases homes at the Properties. The distribution of the Properties throughout the United States reflects our belief that geographic diversification helps insulate the portfolio from regional economic influences.

All revenues were from external customers and there is no customer who contributed 10% or more of our total revenues during the quarters ended March 31, 2023 or 2022.

The following tables summarize our segment financial information for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	3 Months Ended
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Mar. 31, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. (“ELS”), a Maryland corporation, together with MHC Operating Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and its other consolidated subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”), are referred to herein as “we,” “us,” and “our”. We are a fully integrated owner of lifestyle-oriented properties (“Properties”) consisting of property operations and home sales and rental operations primarily within manufactured home (“MH”) and recreational vehicle (“RV”) communities and marinas. We provide our customers the opportunity to place manufactured homes and cottages, RVs and/or boats on our Properties either on a long-term or short-term basis. Our customers may lease individual developed areas (“Sites”) or enter into right-to-use contracts, also known as membership subscriptions, which provide them access to specific Properties for limited stays. Our Properties are owned primarily by the Operating Partnership and managed internally by affiliates of the Operating Partnership. ELS is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, has exclusive responsibility and discretion in management and control of the Operating Partnership and held a 95.3% interest as of March 31, 2023. As the general partner with control, ELS is the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidates, the Operating Partnership.
Consolidation	Equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which ELS does not have a controlling interest or for variable interest entities in which ELS is not considered the primary beneficiary, but with respect to which it can exercise significant influence over operations and major decisions. Our exposure to losses associated with unconsolidated joint ventures is primarily limited to the carrying value of these investments. Accordingly, distributions from a joint venture in excess of our carrying value are recognized in earnings.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue RecognitionOur revenue streams are predominantly derived from customers renting our Sites or entering into membership subscriptions. Leases with customers renting our Sites are accounted for as operating leases. The rental income associated with these leases is accounted for in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, and is recognized over the term of the respective lease or the length of a customer’s stay. MH Sites are generally leased on an annual basis to residents who own or lease factory-built homes, including manufactured homes. RV and marina Sites are leased to those who generally have an RV, factory-built cottage, boat or other unit placed on the site, including those customers renting marina dry storage slips. Annual Sites are leased on an annual basis, including those Northern Properties that are open for the summer season. Seasonal Sites are leased to customers generally for one to six months. Transient Sites are leased to customers on a short-term basis. We do not separate expenses reimbursed by our customers (“utility recoveries”) from the associated rental income as we meet the practical expedient criteria of ASC 842, Leases to combine the lease and non-lease components. We assessed the criteria and concluded that the timing and pattern of transfer for rental income and the associated utility recoveries are the same and, as our leases qualify as operating leases, we account for and present rental income and utility recoveries as a single component under Rental income in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. In addition, customers may lease homes that are located in our communities. These leases are accounted for as operating leases. Rental income derived from customers leasing homes is also accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases and is recognized over the term of the respective lease. The allowance for credit losses related to the collectability of lease receivables is presented as a reduction to Rental income. Lease receivables are presented within Other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are net of an allowance for credit losses. The estimate for credit losses is a result of our ongoing assessments and evaluations of collectability, including historical loss experience, current market conditions and future expectations in forecasting credit losses. Annual membership subscriptions and membership upgrade sales are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Membership subscriptions provide our customers access to specific Properties for limited stays at a specified group of Properties. Payments are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the one-year period during which access to Sites at certain Properties is provided. Membership subscription receivables are presented within Other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are net of an allowance for credit losses. Membership upgrades grant certain additional access rights to the customer and require non-refundable upfront payments. The non-refundable upfront payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. Financed upgrade sales (also known as contract receivables) are presented within Notes receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are net of an allowance for credit losses. Income from home sales is recognized when the earnings process is complete. The earnings process is complete when the home has been delivered, the purchaser has accepted the home and title has transferred. We have a limited program under which we purchase loans made by an unaffiliated lender to homebuyers at our Properties. Financed home sales (also known as chattel loans) are presented within Notes receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are net of an allowance for credit losses.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, restricted cash consisted of $19.8 million and $19.7 million, respectively, primarily related to cash reserved for customer deposits and escrows for insurance and real estate taxes. (c) Casualty related charges/(recoveries), net During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, we recognized expenses of approximately $8.5 million related to debris removal and cleanup related to Hurricane Ian and an offsetting insurance recovery revenue accrual of $8.5 million related to the expected insurance recovery as a result of Hurricane Ian.
