Living Here

The Park

Fifty homesites, a marina down the lane, and a simple way of life: your home, your lot, your summer — we keep the rest easy.

The Basics

🏠

Your Home, Your Lot

Residents own their manufactured homes and lease their sites on a 12-month rental agreement at $400/month. The park is for part-time, seasonal living — a true summer place.

💧

Included With Your Lot

The park furnishes water, sewer, and trash pickup — no separate utility bills from us, and no hauling your own garbage. One monthly rent covers the essentials.

⚓

The Marina

The marina is part of daily life here — extra guest parking by the water, and the lake at the end of the lane. Children under 13 must be with an adult in the marina area, and non-swimmers wear life jackets.

🏢

Park Office — Lot 25

The park office is right in the community at Lot 25, with mailboxes available for residents. Questions, keys, and local advice — start here.

Easy Days, Quiet Nights

West Harbor Club works because everybody plays by the same simple rules. The highlights — the full text lives on our Rules page:

  • 5 MPH, everywhere — for cars and golf carts alike. Kids, dogs, and porch-sitters thank you.
  • Golf carts welcome — drivers need a learner's permit or license, and children ride with an adult.
  • Two parking spaces in front of every home; guests park by permission or down by the marina. No parking in yards.
  • Quiet hours 10 PM – 8 AM — the lake is loud enough.
  • House pets welcome — leashed, cleaned up after, and never left outside unattended.
  • Trash goes in the dumpster at the end of the street (Cyclone Services picks up twice a week); yard waste goes to the township site across Route 53.
  • Lawns are yours — residents mow and trim their own lots; flowers and shrubs are encouraged, trees are not (check with the owners before any digging — utilities run underground).

Your Home at West Harbor

A few standing specifications keep the park looking like the park. From the park's Rules & Specifications:

🧱

Skirting Required

Every home is skirted — it looks better, keeps critters out, and protects your plumbing through the off-season.

🛖

Storage Shed

Each lot has an approved storage shed; size and location are approved by the owners, and state and county rules govern materials and placement.

❄️

AC on the Patio Side

Air conditioning units are placed on the patio side of the home, so your neighbors' porch stays peaceful.

🎨

Before You Build or Paint

Porches and awnings are encouraged — with permission first, so utilities and lot lines are respected. Exterior colors are approved before painting or re-siding.

Thinking of trading homes? Lot sizes vary — the north-side lots run shallower — so check with the owners before buying to be sure the home you want fits the lot you have.

Buying or Selling a Home Here

Homes at West Harbor Club are bought and sold between residents and buyers — the park never charges a fee on a home sale. Ohio law and our rules set a simple path:

  • Sellers: give the park 10 days' notice of your intent to sell — contact Jennifer Mills at (404) 441-7125. No signs on the home; a small sign in the front window is fine.
  • Buyers: every purchaser applies with the park and provides references before the sale closes. Under Ohio law (ORC 4781.40), the park will not unreasonably refuse a qualified purchaser.
  • Seasonal only: homes are sold for part-time (summer) residency — West Harbor Club does not accept permanent tenants.
  • No sub-renting, ever — lots are for the resident family, their guests, and nobody else's tenants.

Ready to start? The application is short, and we're glad to walk you through it.
