A few good things.   The employee benefits are great.  They start you out with plenty of time off and a 6% 401K match.  They have good health insurance as well.  The interview process is lengthy, and you must give a presentation to the leadership team on Zoom before being hired on.  

A few bad things.  The AP system is so hard to learn/navigate it takes 3 weekly conference calls to get Managers thru the AP process. The system should not be this hard and it just wastes everyone's time, and they do like to waste time on endless conference calls as well. So, prepare for 3 or 4 calls a week. 

When I was hired the property was to be staffed 2 groundskeepers, and 2 sales/leasing people.  Due to the poor pay it took them 5 months to hire the 1st groundskeeper, and two more months to hire the sales/leasing team.  FYI: Also, be prepared to take on the groundskeeper responsibilities if you are hired as the manager, if there is no groundskeeper.  My site was 500 lots so quite large for an additional responsibility.  This was the last straw for me, once they let go of the groundskeeper.

The due diligence process was lacking.  They were caught flat footed with the home setting costs and the unanticipated electrical problems with the pedestals.  We had no homes for my sales team, who make their commissions on home sales.  Thus, the sales/leasing team were on their way out the door when I left.

When I submitted my two weeks' notice I asked for an exit interview to discuss my perspective. I was let go the next day.  And of course, there was no exit interview.  There is more about my direct leadership, but this review is too long as it is.  All-in-all a major disappointment working here.  Beware. 

Havenpark is a great place to work if you are not a manager. 
Upper management constantly has a hidden agenda and expectations are never clear. 
They use a strange method to set goals such as what 5 things they want vs what 5 things are achievable. However if the goals that they want (not the achievable) aren't met, they do this big show of "oh no, we couldn't make it!" Or "I'm very disappointed" 
Sometimes what they want is not attainable at all. 
They have constant turn over due to their hidden agenda and some of the employees tend to be backstabbers. They will backstab you in order to receive a promotion of some kind. A lot of what they do is sometimes against the law or they attempt to circumvent the law. Its always "do this and hope we don't get caught" 
If you don't follow their "Havenpark way" you are almost always shunned and will be cast away. 
Coworkers tend to be in their own little cliques. There is a lot of separation and very little inclusion. 

Wow. I'm so glad that I found Havenpark. 
From day 1, I've been treated with respect and I truly feel valued at my company. 

The work is fast paced and I love it. I'm always busy, always learning, and I have fun doing it. 

They train you well, and they are always there if you need them. There is ALWAYS someone to reach out to. I've never worked for a company that's ran the way Havenpark is. It's truly amazing. 

The best part of my job is finding people a home that they love. I love watching the smile on families faces when I hand them over the keys to their new home. 
I love all the residents who come in and talk to us on a daily basis. 

I am so happy I am with Havenpark. I truly hope to advance in the company. I'm very happy with my employer. 

If you're considering working here, you should. I promise you, you won't regret it. 
Great pay. Great benefits. And they make time for YOU. They truly value EVERYONE in the company and every voice is heard. 

Not only do they care about you as an employee, but they take pride in their communities. They truly care about their residents and want to give them a beautiful community to call home. Corporate office is always looking for ways to improve their communities... 

I have so many more great things to say, but I'll let you find our for yourself! ♡ 



The company places a premium on those team members who actually embody and live the company's values. It can be a demanding environment at times, but it is also extremely rewarding to see how much the company has grown, the improvements that have been made in every department as it has scaled, and how the company has responded with probably the best benefits and comp package I've seen in the industry. Also, the company does a great job of actually trying to live it's core values by investing heavily in it's people and the communities. It is awesome to see firsthand the actual social impact from upgrading these communities and how that improves the lives of the residents. This year alone the company invested millions of dollars to upgrade its communities and train the staff - resulting in a vastly improved customer experience for the residents and improved skills for the employees. I'm not seeing that type of re-investment among too many other companies in the industry.  

As another review stated, this is very much a "yes [manager], right away" corporate-type of job. You will encounter emails and Slack messages with hidden meanings (reading between the lines is a must).

Aside from management, who did not communicate properly with me about job duties, the job was great. It was fairly easy and I loved working there. The pay/income was amazing. You get the base pay plus commissions (after 3 months employment) from the sales team, so I was bringing in an additional ~$1200/month from the commissions alone. The commissions fully depend on how many sales agents are working and how many homes they rent or sell (selling brings in more money/higher commissions).

It is very repetitive work. You will likely be doing the same thing, or very similar thing, every day. That's not everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoyed it. Overall, if it weren't for management completely failing to properly communicate, I would have stayed there for several years if I could. I would have loved to use the job to strengthen my skills and put away money to buy my own home one day.

When I started working for this company I really did not know what to expect since I never worked property management. It is a great feeling to know everything you were promised and told about Havenpark when starting was truly honest. Their values and culture is amazing. The feeling of having a team to help you succeed is great, I have never once felt like I do not have someone to get an answer from or a way to find the answer on my own due to them having aids to walk you though almost every process. No question is a bad question with this company. I feel valued everyday as an employee. No company is perfect of course but Havenpark does set the tone for improvements and going above and beyond to make their employees feel valued and heard. As a single mother it also feels great to say I have never missed a school function, a doctor's appointment, or been told I can not take time off to spend time with her when she is out of school. If I need a day off it is given no questions asked. This is a great company to work for, yes it is a lot of work but as long as you like fast paced and are willing to put in the work you can succeed they give you all the tools needed to succeed. 

Working for Havenpark Communities has been AN HONOR. The environment is amazing, management has been very helpful and kind, and the job makes me feel very in control of my work day. I feel I am treated very well here and the benefits are great. I am treated like a hard-working human being with this company, and management treats me more like "a friend". I feel like they listen to their employees and the job is SO MUCH FUN. 
Don't get me wrong, the work is pretty tough. It's a lot of work thrown at me at the same time, but somehow I manage to get through it effectively and end each day on a positive note. 

I am PROUD to work for this company (they don't hire just anyone, and the interview process is pretty extensive) …. but if you manage to get through the interview I promise you will not regret it. I spent many of my years going from job to job in search of something I am passionate about and that I feel good at, and I've finally found a place to call my "2nd home". 

I was initially hesitant about Havenpark because I hadn't heard great things about working in the property management industry. After doing my research though, I decided to accept a position in the home office. I have not regretted that decision!

Despite having been around for six years, Havenpark still has the feel of a young and hungry company. The company "organization chart" is still expanding, which is creating opportunities for advancement, especially since they look to hire within first. 

The executive leadership is very hands-on without micro-managing. They lead from the front and are constantly looking for ways to improve the culture, both at the home office and in the field. They are willing to try out a well thought out idea, no matter who suggests it.

I would recommend Havenpark to anyone who enjoys a company with a start-up feel and related opportunities. 

My experience with Havenpark Communities was frustrating from the very start. Leadership at the home office acts like they know everything, but their decisions showed they were completely out of touch with reality. Instead of focusing on helping employees succeed, they seemed more interested in pushing their own personal agendas and controlling everything.

The culture felt arrogant and dismissive, with no real respect for employee input. Training was sloppy, communication was unclear, and there was little genuine effort to prepare new hires. The local staff were kind, but they were left powerless because of poor direction from the top.

In my opinion, the biggest issue with this company is the leadership — disconnected, self-serving, and unwilling to actually listen. Until that changes, the work environment will stay toxic. Not to mention the poor residence increasing that lot rent almost monthly. 

The best part of working for this company is the day-to-day culture within your immediate team—it truly feels like a work family. Compensation is fair, and reaching a six-figure salary is possible, but it largely depends on the community you're placed in.

However, upper management is solely focused on numbers and spreadsheets, with little regard for real-life challenges in securing sales and rentals. Lot rent continues to increase, pushing residents out of their homes without concern or remorse. When these issues are brought to leadership’s attention, the response is simply that people should "learn to budget better."

This is no longer about providing affordable housing—it's about squeezing as much money as possible from residents. Additionally, expressing opinions or concerns is not welcomed. If management sets an unrealistic deadline and you request more time, they don’t care—you’re expected to comply, no questions asked.
