Havenpark Communities was founded on the mission of creating caring communities for both our residents and employees. Havenpark has a portfolio of 80+ communities and more than 22,000 homesites throughout the U.S. We are experiencing intentional and rapid growth by continuously acquiring communities.
At Havenpark Communities, our mission is to make caring communities attainable for responsible residents across America. We acquire, improve, and operate manufactured home communities. You may be asking yourself - what makes us different? It is our culture. Our unique culture is fun, rewarding, and inclusive of all. Our five core values guide our everyday behavior: Respect, Grit, Collaboration, Stewardship, and Boldness.
Havenpark is a real estate investment and management firm focused exclusively on acquiring, improving, and operating Manufactured Home Communities (MHCs) across the United States.
At present, there is a crisis for non-subsidized lower-income households across the United States. The availability of quality, affordable, and attainable housing units is at an all-time low, yet the demand for such housing has never been greater. We are thrilled for the opportunity to be part of the solution to this problem and we take great pride in providing tenants with a safe and well-maintained community to call home. From a housing perspective, we offer the best value for low-to-moderate income wage earners.
