New Year’s Resolutions for Home Maintenance
December 30, 2019Marie Kondo Your Mobile Home in Six Steps
February 3, 2020This month, Harmony Communities celebrates the opening of our 30th mobile home park. This milestone comes after thirteen years of intentional growth, starting with just two employees in a small California office. Now, we have a dedicated full-time staff of twenty and have branched out of California, setting up sustainable and beautiful manufactured housing communities up and down the West Coast and providing permanent homes for close to 3,000 residents.
Originally the passion project of real estate investor and founder Matthew Davies, Harmony Communities launched in 2009 as a vehicle to address the housing shortage on the West Coast. Although our company has seen unprecedented growth, our mission and vision have remained the same: to provide safe, beautiful, sustainable housing for low-income citizens and families. Harmony does this through our manufactured housing communities, which are constructed and curated to be more than just places to live – they are long-time homes as well as supportive communities. According to Dolly Zack, Community Manager at the Santa Nella Mobile Home and RV Parks, even our staff form bonds with the park residents. “There are a lot of nice and interesting people who come in, and you really start to become their family,” Zack says.
Aside from striving to make our communities welcoming as well as aesthetically attractive, we take tremendous pride in our commitment to the highest quality service. According to our Operations Manager Sherrie Johnston, Harmony’s core values can be summed up in three simple words: quality, integrity, and teamwork:
- Quality: The quality of our service is second to none. We don’t cut corners, and we take pride in the communities we manage.
- Integrity: We create clean, safe environments for our residents, and we consult with professionals on a constant basis to ensure we are providing the best housing we can.
- Teamwork: We truly care about our employees and want them to succeed. We celebrate together and have fun, and we keep one another accountable.
In the coming years, our team intends to continue this legacy. “We want to continue to acquire new communities and broaden our portfolio as wide as we can,” says Johnston. “We want to continue to improve the quality of the service we provide.”
Please join us in celebrating Harmony’s milestone 30th park, as well as the continued success of our service and mission in the coming years.

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 singles 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.
