  • At Harmony Communities, we feel strongly that each resident has a sense of home. That they come home from work and feel pride in their environment and in their place in the greater community. That families are comfortable raising children in our neighborhoods, and that couples and individuals know that they belong to something bigger than their four walls. In other words, we seek to create harmony within each community, making our communities not just passable, but peaceful, safe, functional, and beautiful.

  • Every person who wants to be a homeowner should have the opportunity to own a home. At Harmony Communities, we're providing people with that opportunity.

  • Everyone deserves a safe and affordable place to call home.

  • Mobile home parks are one of the largest forms of unsubsidized affordable housing; they help states meet the substantial and growing need for housing.

  • Keeping housing expenses reasonable - and homes attainable - this is core to our mission.

  • Our goal remains the same: to offer great value in a great environment for all residents.

  • We aim for Harmony Communities to be clean and neat, to have local ownership and governance through homeowner's associations, and to make obvious to any onlooker that we care about our community, that people are watching, and that crime is not welcome.

  • When we create purposeful communities around high quality, affordable homes, we step in with the intention of establishing an atmosphere of care and respect for the property, and by extension, the people and families who live there.
