About Grace Landing

When a community lacks affordable housing for its workforce, essential workers—restaurant staff, teachers, healthcare providers, service employees, and first responders—are forced to commute long distances or leave altogether. The result is staffing shortages, struggling businesses, strained public services, and more traffic with greater environmental impact.

Over time, even a prosperous community becomes fragile, losing the economic diversity, resilience, and people who sustain it day to day.

Whether full-time or part-time residents of Whidbey Island, we share responsibility for the health of our community. Meaningful change requires all of us, and it depends on a strong, local workforce.

Low-income housing shortages are addressed through coordinated efforts between the County, the City, the community, and the developer. This means "vision planning" and include creative land use; mixed-use properties; codes favoring smaller, attainable homes; streamlined regulations; resale restricted home ownership models; and limiting short-term rental use. All of these contribute to South Whidbey's long-term affordability, sustaining a thriving community now and for the generations to follow.

Attainable housing isn’t just shelter, it sustains the people who make a community work.

Our six-home cottage development features 600-square-foot homes designed for efficient living and attainable home ownership.

Thoughtfully planned for working individuals and families, these homes create a realistic path to ownership while fostering a close-knit, supportive neighborhood. 

Smart design, lower costs, and long-term financial stability make Grace Landing a lasting housing solution—not a temporary fix.
