evergreen estates

A resident-owned community

Welcome Home!

Evergreen Estates Homeowners Cooperative, Inc., is a 55 and over resident-owned manufactured home community in Centralia, Wash. Evergreen Estates is conveniently located minutes from shopping, hospitals and restaurants, and 20 minutes from Tumwater/Olympia. Our ideal setting allows for easy access to Interstate 5. We can be to Portland in 90 minutes and Seattle in two hours. We are a friendly neighborhood for people who love outdoor activities and living in a small town.

Mount St. Helens is a 37-minute drive, where we enjoy climbing and beautiful views. We are located 75 miles from the gates of Mount Rainier National Park and two hours from beautiful Pacific Coast beaches. Evergreen Estates is an ideal spot for outdoor lovers with Mount St. HelensOlympic National Falls and Snoqualmie Falls less than two hours away. Just 10 minutes from Centralia College, we are centrally located for easy access to all Centralia has to offer.

Evergreen Estates is owned by the Community Members who live here – we are a resident-owned community (ROC).

We own it

The Member homeowners of Evergreen Estates control the rent and make the rules. On January 26, 2020, the ROC purchased the land and infrastructure, such as the roads and water lines. Now, a democratically elected Board of Directors manages the business of running Evergreen Estates. Every Member household in the community has a say in who sits on the 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 more than 300 ROCs just like us. That membership provides us with access to expert coaching on how to run our ROC, leadership development and training, communication with dozens of community leaders who face many of the same issues we do, and more. Life in Evergreen Estates is truly different than in a commercially owned community – we invite you to find out firsthand how that difference makes living here so much better.
