WELCOME HOME!
Whispering Pines is a resident-owned manufactured home community in Oak Harbor, Washington. We are a terrific neighborhood for people who like a small-town setting that's an easy drive to Anacortes and Mt. Vernon. Oak Harbor is a beautiful waterfront village on Whidbey Island and home to the the Naval Air Station at Whidbey Island and Deception Pass State Park. Oak Harbor is an active community for recreation, framed with some of the most beautiful waterfront and mountain ranges in the country.
Whispering Pines is owned by the community members who live here. That means we control the rent and make the rules. In 2013, we formed Whispering Pines Cooperative, Inc. and, on November 26, 2013, purchased the land beneath our homes. Now, a democratically elected board of directors manages the business of running Whispering Pines Cooperative. Every member household in the community has a say in who sits on that board, how we spend our money, the annual budget, and whether we make changes to the rent.
We're also part of a national network of almost 200 resident-owned communities just like us. That membership provides us with access to expert coaching on how to run our community, leadership development and training, communications with dozens of community leaders who face many of the same issues we do, and more. Life in Whispering Pines is truly different than in a commercially owned community – we invite you to find out first-hand how that difference makes living here so much better.
