In April 2014 I was searching the internet for new homes at South Mountain in Phoenix, Arizona and I came across K. Hovnanian Homes. At the time my wife Judy and I were residing in Mesa, AZ which was approximately 12 miles away from the South Mountain area of Phoenix. I then drove to the K. Hovnanian Homes office and met with Kevin Cameron, a sales professional. Kevin gave Judy and I a tour of their model home and answered all of our questions and provided all types of documented information. After a couple of days, Judy and I went back to K. Hovnanian Homes and met with Kevin and advised him that we wanted to purchase the model home.
We moved into our new home during the first part of June 2014. K. Hovnanian Homes, was always there whenever we had questions or any needs and especially when building a very attractive, high efficient home. We made a perfect decision in checking out K. Hovnanian Homes.
Our K. Hovnanian Homes sales professional, Kevin Cameron is a true professional. Kevin was very knowledgeable, sensitive to our needs and he made our home buying experience very painless. Whoever hired Kevin should be congratulated and given a raise - what a great hire. He is a tremendous asset for K. Hovnanian Homes.

Having renovated 4 homes, we were both excited and reluctant to go through the building process from the ground up. We live close to where our K. Hovnanian community was developing so stopped by weekly, if not more to explore our build and dream about the outcome. In doing so, it allowed us to seethe high quality of construction, wiring, plumbing and finish that we quite frankly were not expecting.
We then found ourselves walking homes from other builders in other communities that were in process and consistently walked away feeling confident that our construction was truly superior. Being allowed to make some specific molding and cabinetry requests made our home unique from the other floor plans in our community, and the price value of doing this through K. Hovnanian was a real advantage. From the appliances to the financing, K. Hovnanian pricing beat any big box retailer we could find.
The finished result is truly outstanding and we absolutely love our new home. We moved in the summer, in Texas, with doors being left open through a couple weeks of unpacking and our utilities were still lower than our previous home. Nice!
We would highly recommend K. Hovnanian, and personally thank Cassian Bernard and Doyle Roberson for putting up with us! They never lost sight of the fact that this is not a house, it's our home.

My name is Stephen Webb and a little over 2 months ago my family moved into our new K. Hovnanian home in the Creekview community in Keller, Texas.
When my wife and I started on this journey in the summer in 2013, we heard every cautionary tale regarding building a new home. Everyone said that building a home is one of the hardest things that you'll ever do.
I feel compelled to say that our experience with K Hov was not only a relatively stress free process, but we had a ton of fun while building our home. We stopped by the neighborhood every weekend and we were never made to feel as if we were a burden and we were always given updates on our home and every question we had was answered so quickly, respectfully and in detail.
From the sales team of Brian, Clint and Krystin, to the building team of Kelly and Matt we always felt like we were important to them and that our concerns not only mattered, but were top priority. That isn't an easy feat when you're building an entire neighborhood at the same time!
Obviously, no experience is going to be 100% perfect, but we had very few hiccups along the way with our build and even the very few times that we hit bumps in the road the entire team was extremely attentive and really went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the experience.
I'm not an easy person to please, but I have no hesitations recommending K. Hovnanian Homes to anyone looking to build, and would use them again without hesitation if we look to build in the future.
There are a lot of options out there that can assist you in building a house, but the team at Creekview helped us build a home.
Stephen Webb - Texas
We are so thankful for the opportunity to have worked with such a great team and builder as K. Hovnanian Homes. Everyone has been so helpful, professional, nice and efficient at making this whole process go as smooth and fun as possible.
As far as our home, we LOVE it! It is exactly what we hoped for and MORE. We had minimal things to get fixed during our final walk through and Shea Smith made sure everything was taken care of by our closing date. The construction was done so beautifully and sturdy. We love our new home and can't wait to start our new lives together in it.
Thank you so much for everything you have done for us! Thank you to Christine Emerson, Tanisha White, Shea Smith, Barbara Pacetti and Linda Hardy for making this a great experience for us!!
Stacy Aymat-Rivera - Florida
As first time home buyers the K. Hovnanian team made our home buying process simple and smooth. The team was very informative and dependable through each phase from the sale to the closing, along with answering any questions that followed.
Dani, Ava, Vicki and Chris were very friendly, professional and patient with us. We love our open floor plan downstairs and love how the loft upstairs brings all the bedrooms together for a second family living space.
Thank you to Dani, Ava, Vicki and Chris for helping us in building our first home. We had a wonderful experience with K. Hovnanian!
Todd Stewart - Florida
Just wanted to comment on the exceptional service that Kevin provided my husband Dave and I during the process of buying a home in the Veneto community.
He was wonderful to work with and had a lot to do with our decision to purchase a home in Veneto. He took the time to fully explain all that was necessary to make our choice. Even the process of the paperwork which seemed endless; he was so good at helping us get through it all so very well.
I am a very picky person and hard to please, but I have to say Kevin really stood out to me as a great professional and caring person. Even after the sale and we headed back home to Dallas he was calling us and filling us in on everything up until we came back for the closing. Even then he made it a pleasant experience.
We can not say enough good things about Kevin, K. Hovnanian is lucky to have you working at their company.
Beverly Thomas - Arizona
From the very start of our home building adventure, we were thoroughly impressed with the K. Hov designs and options.
Throughout the build, we were constantly excited to see our dream come to life. And since the closing, we have been nothing but satisfied with our choice in home builder. I have and will continue to highly recommend K. Hov to my friends.
J & K Gaughan - Texas
We will recommend KHOV every opportunity we have.
Our experience building and now residing in Mustang Park, has far exceeded our expectations. We have a well built, beautiful, comfortable home in a beautiful community.
Randy (Best Builder EVER!!). Thanks to the entire KHOV team, from Sales (Angelo), to Construction (Randy), to Mortgage (Steve) and Warranty (Tiffany) - you are all the BEST!!!
K & T Narveson - Texas
We are purchasing a new home after being in the same house for forty years. We chose KHOV because Angelo was very attentive to what we were looking to purchase.
Since our decision to have KHOV build our new house, it has been exciting and pleasant working with the team of Angelo, Nicole and Randy. They have bent over backwards in seeing that the house is built to our expectations.
Will & Phyllis Lewis - Texas
Your home team has been just great to work with, of course you Maryellen are the best. I have never worked with a more conscientious and helpful person. I was simply blown away. When I had asked questions, you answered them not only quickly but also after hours and on weekends too!
Another outstanding person is Nanie, at Shell Hall. Her close attention to detail and immediate responses to questions was commendable as well.
The rest of the business community could learn a lot from you guys. In an age that moves lightning fast and relies on robotic technology to service its customers, you simply lose the personal contact and security of a real honest to goodness person. Nice to know that there are still professionals like you around.

I used to go to Cape May for weekends and I also lived at the beach in Rockaway Park, I always wanted to go back, but felt like I would probably never live near the beach again. Much to my delight, I was wrong ¬– and today, me and my husband Howard are living our dream, at K. Hovnanian's Four Seasons at Harbor Bay, a popular 55+ community in Little Egg Harbor that offers a resort-like lifestyle near the Jersey Shore.
We have four married children and seven grandchildren living in northern New Jersey, New York, Maryland and North Carolina. So we wanted a lot of space for them to be able to come and stay with us. We hosted our family for Christmas and had a whole houseful. Everything worked out perfectly!
We looked at another community in Barnegat, but there was just a different feeling when we visited here. Everyone we met was really excited to be here! And it's a newer community, so everything felt fresh. This place is immaculate – they keep it up so well. The grounds are taken care of and the clubhouse is fantastic, where at the other community it was older and a little shoddy. Everything always looks so 'spic and span' here and we were really impressed with that.
The clubhouse was really a big factor in our decision to move here, I play Mahjongg and poker and Howard shoots pool. Our grandchildren have played in the indoor pool and some of the older ones shot some pool with Howie and me. There's something going on here almost every weekend. We went to a Halloween costume party and a New Year's Eve party, which were great. It's very nice because we get to meet people and that was also one of the main reasons we wanted to move. Our house in New York was kind of in the woods and no one was around much. Here, there are always people around. Even if you just go out for a walk you'll see someone. We've gotten acquainted with some of our neighbors and were invited to several holiday parties. It's very nice.
We didn't know anything about this area at all, but people told us it was very convenient, which is exactly what we've found. Everything is very close and it's so much less crowded than what we were used to in New York! We'll go to stores and we're amazed – it's like, where are all the people? There are no crowds!
This has been such a positive experience in every way. Everyone we spoke to and worked with here has been so nice. Joan, our sales associate, was absolutely a doll. She couldn't have been more cooperative. We love it here. This move has fulfilled all our expectations.
C. Sohn & H. Dinowitz - New Jersey
Our home buying experience with K. Hovnanian Homes was a game changer for us. This was our fourth new home purchase and after dealing with previous builders, we came into the process very hesitant.
KHOV has restored our faith in the home buying process. From our first visit to the community to the final Gold Key experience, the entire Quail Creek team exceeded our expectations with excellent customer service. Our friends and family are now looking to KHOV for their next homes.
Robert Young - Arizona
They delivered the completed home on time. They followed up on any items needed adjusting, and it was done by a professional service group.
They are outstandingly good. We have had built from scratch 5 other new homes in our 53 year marriage and this builder was by far the best we have ever used for detail, and easy to work with. Never a hassle. They use highly skilled labor and professional management. Would recommend K. Hovnanian to any of my family or friends as a top notch builder.
Wayne Herran - Florida
We just wanted to say that our home buying, building and closing experience was wonderful. We loved your constant updates throughout the building process and appreciated your quick responses to any questions, concerns or changes we might have had.
Brian was so wonderful at our final walk-through and even after we moved in, he was still available for any and all questions we had. We are really enjoying our new home and raising our new baby in a great community. Thanks for all you have done to make this a great home buying experience!
Jessica Davis - Texas
Building your dream home is a journey that is as challenging as it is thrilling. From the beginning, our experience with KHOV gave us the confidence and guidance we needed each step of the way.
Angelo's professionalism, expertise, and intuitiveness were key in helping us define the right home for our family. Randy was tireless in his commitment to deliver a quality build while patiently helping us make ht countless decisions needed along the way. We are ever grateful to the entire KHOV team for turning our dream into a reality.
T & J Rodriguez - Texas
This is my first time to build. When I told a friend I was building, their reply was, "ugh! What a pain, just get ready." My response was, "you must not have built through KHOV at Mustang Park."
Angelo, Nicole, Randy and Steve have made the experience so easy and enjoyable. The communication is great and we're moving right along on schedule. Who knows, after hearing my response I may find that I have a new neighbor to match my new KHOV home.!
Mike Marino - Texas
We would like to say how much we enjoyed the overall purchasing experience with K. Hovnanian.
They were there through every step of the process and followed up routinely to keep us informed. We highly recommend the quality of the homes and staff.
The Schwausch Family - Texas
K. Hovnanian offered the perfect floor plan for us in a great neighborhood.
The baseline features are excellent, but we also had a very good selection of upgrades available too! Each step along the way we have been very pleased with the knowledge, professionalism and friendly attitude of everyone we have worked with.
Scott Dundon - Texas
The KHOV culture is one with very educated and trained individuals who are experts at home building and financing.
This team helped us through the home buying process from the beginning to end. We were updated by each team member on the status of every aspect of the building and buying process. I would highly recommend KHOV to anyone looking for a new home!
Joel Hendricks - Texas
My family just recently moved into a new home that your organization built and I wanted to share with you our experience.
When my wife and I decided to build our dream home the excitement of one day living in our new house was quickly tempered by the stress of making the proper buying decision and the cost and time commitment involved with the process.
After our first meeting with Angie Burkhalter at your Riverpoint Village saldes office our stress quickly alleviated as she carefully guided us through what the process would look like from beginning to end. In addition, throughout the process she made herself readily available to address all of our questions and concerns.
Once the construction began your Community Construction Manager, Ben Danielson was equally was accessible and service oriented allowing my wife and I to feel total confidence that our dream home would be built as we desired. Furthermore, the commitment by both Ms. Burkhalter and Mr. Danielson to make our home precisely the way we wanted did not end after closing as they were both readily available to fix any oversights that occurred during the building process.
I have heard so many stories from friend and colleagues expressing the anguish they experienced during the building of their new home. My wife and I are extremely appreciative to Ms. Burkhalter and Mr. Danielson for making our experience an exceptional one.
As a businessman I felt it was necessary to share this with you as I always appreciate knowing when members of my team are going above and beyond to please the clients we serve as they in the end are the ones responsible for building our organization's reputation.
Dan Kullman - Texas
After seeing almost 100 homes from rehabs, new builds, and custom builds I stumbled upon the Cottonwood neighborhood. The sales staff was amazing and friendly and even offered to show me a spec home which ultimately wound up being the home that I purchased.
The amount of upgrades and items offered in this home at the price point was head and shoulders above what other builders and properties could offer even if I customized it myself. I was even happier with the house once my realtor and family visited it and confirmed that it was a well built home and a great neighborhood. K Hov delivered on all the buying needs I had - location to work, nice small community, large yard, upgrades, quality building materials and close to popular day and night life. I would definitely purchase another K Hov home in the future!
LMC - Maryland
What makes me even prouder is having such a thrill seeing other builders who just don't "wow" me like the first impression/models at K-Hov.
I go to other K-Hov model homes in other communities & am so proud that's my builder!!
JS - Arizona
We had been looking for maybe six months, and we looked in a lot of different counties. We looked at townhomes and also single-family homes, including new construction and resale.
It was the very beginning stage of the community and there was nothing there yet except for a sign. At that point, we were living in an apartment in South Brunswick and we were not ready to buy. But we really liked the area where Montgomery Ridge was going to be built and we wanted a townhome. So once we got more serious about buying, we came back to visit.
We were very impressed with the quality of construction, the location, and the layout of the models – the overall floorplan. We really liked the open layout, and the big owner's suite, with the large closet and bathroom. Having a two-car garage was an important factor and the upgrades were also great. It was quite spacious for our needs, with the three bedrooms and the loft. We also like having the basement for more storage, or for potential additional living space in the future.
It's a very nice mix of being suburban but also being close to a lot of modern conveniences like restaurants, shopping areas and theaters. We love Princeton and go there very often, so it's great being this close to town. It's really nice because it's very quiet around the community, with a lot of farmland, open fields, greenery and parks. It's so nice to go biking or walking. But at the same time, we don't have to drive an hour to the nearest store – and it was important for us to be close to a train station, to commute into New York if possible.
Before we finally decided, we did a lot of reading online about the builder and there were a lot of very positive comments and opinions about K. Hovnanian. Being from New Jersey, having grown up in Union and Monmouth Counties, I was familiar with K. Hovnanian and confident in them as a builder. We worked closely with Marianne Van Horn and Denise Dubuss, our sales associates, and they were great during the whole process. They made it very easy, especially as first-time buyers. They were never pushy. We really became friends with them!
We were so excited about the purchase and we kept coming back at different phases to see every step of the construction, talking to the construction manager about all the details. We really enjoyed the whole process and everyone was so good to work with – and now that we've moved in, we've met the neighbors in our building and everyone is quite nice. So it's been a very good experience.
Izabela & Ron - New Jersey
My husband and I feel very fortunate in having a home built in your community.
It was a great experience to see the magic of seeing the home built and the care in which it was being done. We would not hesitate in recommending your company to our friends and relatives. We had new homes built in the past and I feel you are the best.
Esther P. Lopez - Arizona
The thoughts of building our forever home seemed such a daunting task as we initially visited and talked with home builders within our Pittsburgh area. We entered many of these places very excited and often left very puzzled and nervous with our thoughts of actually one day building a home.
However when we initially met Matt Harmening and eventually your entire team at the Brush Run Greensburg office, we knew that we were going to engage in an entirely different experience. Over the next few months, this could not have been reinforced more. From start to finish Matt Harmening answered the hundreds of questions regarding the building process and timelines we should adhere to. We also gained a friend in Matt as he went above and beyond our expectations as a sales consultant. This made the building experience that much more comfortable and enjoyable for our family, and we are forever grateful for this.
When the actual construction portion of our home occurred, Dennis Stillwagoner, our Construction Manager, again exceeded our expectations. Dennis ensured that we were happy with the quality of work and effort put forth towards our home. He was able to explain difficult building concepts to us in a simplified manner, which helped us dearly from start to finish. He consistently provided feedback and sought feedback from us as well. Overall, we cannot say enough in regards to the positive experience we had building with K. Hovnanian and would highly recommend the Greensburg team to anyone considering building their dream home. Thanks again Matt, Dennis and the rest of the KHOV team!
Beth & Jerry Pepe - Pennsylvania
Purchasing a KHOV home was an easy and fun experience, that I recommend everyone should participate in.
KHOV builds quality homes that will not disappoint. Both their sales and construction staff allows you to become involved in every aspect of the home building process. Their workmanship and attention to detail ensures your building plans will become your dream home. NO BUYERS REMORSE is being felt by this new homeowner. I sincerely recommend KHOV as your home builder.
Sarah Ingram - Maryland
We have been looking for a retirement community for about 8 years and we are happy we purchased in K. Hovnanian's Four Seasons.
The amenities are wonderful and the landscaping and upkeep of the grounds is spectacular. The views of the mountains is irreplaceable and I love the breeze that comes up every afternoon. The homes are perfect for aging adults that want an active lifestyle.
MG - California
Our experience with purchasing a home with K. Hovnanian has been nothing less than extraordinary. The quality of the home and the quality of the K. Hovnanian team is still beyond our belief.
They made sure all parties were operating on the same frequency. In my opinion, this was the reason we did not have a single hiccup in the whole home buying process. This was the biggest purchase we've ever made, but was by far, the most amazing buying experience we have ever had. Thank you KHOV family!
Marcel Davis - Virginia
From the very beginning I knew the construction of my home by K. Hovnanian Homes was going to be handled by consummate professionals. Robin Conarty not only handled the sales process with the knowledge and experience I was seeking but she also helped with design, a skill I do not possess!
Chris Dearman handled construction and was passionate about the quality of the home being built for me. He actually had the contractors re-do work because it did not meet expectations. I absolutely recommend K. Hovnanian to anyone considering a new home.
John P. Ortiz - Texas
I would like to personally thank the K. Hovnanian team for walking us through this very exciting time in building our new home. Building your dream home can be both exciting and overwhelming.
The personal attention that we received from our home consultant, Desire Sweet, was outstanding. We are so very thankful that she took the time to personally tend to our needs.
We are so happy that we chose K. Hovnanian to be our builder, everything that we desired in our home was made a reality. Thank you to the entire K. Hovnanian team.
Pamela Kowalski - Texas
It has been a great experience with KHOV as first time home buyers. They offered us the perfect floor plan which meets exactly what we need. We appreciate the excellent service by Desire Sweet, our sales representative, and David Weber, our construction manager.
Desire was very knowledgeable, courteous and patient and allowed us ample time to make decisions. She explained everything clearly which made our first home-buying/building process much easier. She is always available whenever we need questions answered. Desire kindly communicated with us about our selection process at the Design Gallery to ensure the progress kept up with the construction timeline.
David is a great manager. He is very professional and always tries to help us a much as he can. He is so helpful and accommodating to meet our anticipated closing time frame that we feel like our home is the priority.
We are very pleased to work with the KHOV team. We enjoy seeing the new house being built on the land and are anticipating the completion of our beautiful new home!
Kevin Mi - Texas
My experience with buying a K. Hovnanian home was nothing short of impressive.
From the outstanding sales staff, to the construction staff, every outreach has been positive. The community is beautiful, well maintained, and the Clubhouse offers every social opportunity possible.
DC - New Jersey
My wife and I would like to personally thank the KHOV team for taking us through a very exciting journey of buying our very first home. It couldn't have been better. The KHOV team has treated me and my family with respect, class and dignity, and we are very thankful for the time the team took to fulfill our needs. These qualities have made the entire process a wonderful experience!
First time we met our Sales Consultant we were so impressed with her professionalism, patience and sincerity of dealing with someone who knows nothing about the home buying process and is also concerned with challenging market times. She made us feel comfort, and helped us with moving forward with our plan of buying a new house. Sometimes we had our own doubts for something that was told to us, probably because we were scared of our experience with other realtors and every time she proved to be more reliable and a honest person to us. Her guidance, involvement, quality of representation in the entire process of buying the house from beginning to end has been remarkable. Thank you - She is the Best!!!
Our Community Construction Manager - a true professional, he helped with our inventory home concerns very patiently and efficiently. With his construction experience, he did a wonderful job in explaining to us every detail we were looking for. As we settled in our new home, we had some questions and he took care of all of them like a champion. He is awesome!!
Families have always been impressed with organizations that take the personal touch and the "family way" into their approach. We are very thankful that K Hovnanian took that approach with our family. The workmanship is detailed and of high quality. Your continued support is greatly appreciated. Your team is made up of some amazing people and you are blessed to have them to represent the face of your company.
Needless to say, our family is very happy that we decided to have K Hovnanian be our "family" builder. Thank you so very much for your dedication to our project and our family. We appreciate all that you have done for us.
VKM and SNM - Texas
We were told by so many people that the process of building a home is such a nightmare, but this was not true with K. Hovnanian Homes.
It was an enjoyable, exciting experience! I would recommend them to anyone wanting to build a home.
EAC - Ohio
From the time we walked into the beautiful model my wife and I had a smile from ear to ear. I don't think a day goes by that we don't stop and smile as we live day to day in our beautiful new home. The support from the sales staff who handled things began with providing us with a professional real estate agent who helped get our old house sold in under 2 weeks. Once we were handed over to the construction staff, courtesy and support continued.
Build quality, craftsmanship, and quality of materials are well above average. As promised our new home is the most energy efficient home we have ever owned. We are proud to have chosen a K. Hovnanian home. They not only built us a solid home with excellent attention to detail, they made our home purchase a wonderful experience that we will never forget!
Andy & Mary Wisniewski - Maryland
I believe they are fine builders who do not compromise on quality.
They have met all the promises and really go out of their way to ensure the community they build is truly outstanding and not just limited to the construction of their house.
Suresh Menon - New Jersey
If your looking for a home with the best characteristics in design and style K. Hovnanian brings things to the table that others don't.
Their staff is truly exceptional. Between the great offers and incentives coupled with the already great standard package, you would be hard pressed to find a better buy anywhere in the Orlando area. If your not convinced come to down to Summerlake or Summerake Groves and you will see why every buyer is ecstatic with their newly purchased home.
Shaun Rochet - Florida
While shopping for a new home my wife came across a hidden gem in Northwest Phoenix. She told me about K. Hovnanian, which I scoffed at because I've never heard of them. She insisted to show me the models and once there, my ears perked up. The location alone was intriguing, as we were from a a similar suburban area, but the layout and upgrades offered were enough to set the wheels in motion.
Julie, our sales rep was always there every step of the way. We lived nearby, so we were there often checking in, bringing family to the models and our dirt lot, and Julie never made us feel as though we were a burden. Once we got in contact with David, our loan officer he was the same as Julie - never bothered by our redundant calls and questions. He always answered the phone or called back in a timely manner.
Mike, the K. Hovnanian lead for our location was always like clockwork. He knew exactly what was going on throughout the building phase. Our weekly calls from Mike and Julie were like a soap opera to us. We couldn't wait to hear the next weeks news of what was going on. They were knowledgeable and friendly, always.
Thank you to all that played a role in this very exciting time in our life.
MR - Arizona
You made this home buying experience wonderful, and so easy! You have been very attentive to unexpected change requests, given great advice on items pertaining to building a home as well as the easy financing ideas.
Also a great resource of ideas, and you have always responded back in a timely manner. This is my 3rd home I have built, and it has been the best of all my home building experiences. I highly recommend K. Hovnanian Homes, and their staff for anyone interested in a quality home, and the outstanding customer service they provide.
Patty Daniel - Texas
Earlier this summer my son and I were looking at starter-home neighborhoods to get some ideas for after college. We visited the community Paseo Del Norte in Roseville and fell in love with the overall look, the beautiful curb appeal and the homes themselves.
There was no comparison with the quality, value and the great use of space that K. Hovnanian offered. My son was definitely sold that this was his first choice community, but as it turns out my husband and I loved it enough to downsize and buy a home ourselves. We are thrilled that we will not be giving up quality-just unneeded space. The experience so far has been great beginning with our sales consultant, Rose Lewis. She has been very helpful and a joy to work with. We could not be happier with our unexpected, major decision to move. Now our hope is to have our son as a neighbor soon!
Teresa Zabrek - California
My husband and I always talked about building a new home. However, based on the market we thought we should look at existing homes to see what was out there. Friends encouraged us to stay away from new construction. We heard horror stories about their experiences. After exploring the options on the market, it was clear that we would have to build if we wanted a home that was personalized to our needs.
We visited K. Hovnanian River Hills Community and it immediately felt like home for both of us. Great location, good school district, and the community is very well maintained. Erin took the time to answer numerous questions and concerns that friends and family had warned us about when it came to new construction. She was transparent and candid and went above and beyond our expectations.
We closed in April and love our new home. The floor plan is perfect for entertaining and we have plenty of room to grow as our family expands. We recommend K. Hovnanian to all our friends and co-workers. In the end, it was the quality of the home and service we received that made our decision to build in River Hills an easy one. We often say to each other, we cannot believe that this is our home!
Amy Edwards - Illinois
We looked at dozens of existing homes, but didn't find anything we loved. Then we toured a K. Hovnanian model, did some research, and put a deposit on a lot that very day. We had heard horror stories from friends and family about new construction homes, so we didn't know what to expect. We couldn't disagree more! The entire process from day one was pleasant, and the K. Hovnanian folks were open and honest. It was actually quite fun.
Our trio of K. Hovnanian representatives, Pat, Nick, and Vince were exceptional, and we would absolutely build with them again. They're still building the remaining houses in our community and we see Vince regularly; he's always friendly and willing to answer any questions we have about the house.
As for the house itself, we've been in it for about three months now, and couldn't be happier! Transitioning from a tiny condominium into a huge, open layout has been a breath of fresh air. The care and craftsmanship is evident in every detail both inside and out. We love the bonus room (upstairs family room) and spend much of our time there. The gourmet kitchen is breathtaking, and earns compliments from all of our guests.
We highly recommend K. Hovnanian to anyone, and would definitely build with them again in the future.
A. & S. Parrillo - Illinois
My daughter and my son-in-law were having a new home built in Wheaton at K. Hovnanian's Morse Point. We lived in Lombard about 5 miles from them and we would always eat dinner together just about every night. My daughter insisted that we go to look at the homes they had to offer. As it turned out we were able to get the last lot available and we could not be happier with our decision to buy. It was really a little more house than we needed but who's complaining.
Our other home was completely remodeled, but was about 30 years old. Now we have a full basement instead of a crawl space, super-efficient furnace and ac, beautiful hardwood floors and the best of all, when I sit on my new deck or just look out the kitchen window I can see my grandchildren playing in the yard, it is truly priceless.
The best part is now we walk across the yard for dinner. We have been in the home since mid- October of last year and have had no problems to speak of. The few things that weren't right K. Hovnanian corrected right away and they were with us to guide us through the entire process. My wife and I almost bought a home like this about 35 years ago, but heard many stories that changed our minds, but couldn't be happier with our choice now.
John Krug - Illinois
My husband and I just celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary. With a series of temporary homes, we both longed for a single family home with the space to allow us to entertain family and friends and the design to be our very own. So, we began our search for the perfect space. It was not as easy as we had hoped it would be. Our desire for space and a move-in-ready home was difficult to find without the hefty price tag.
After walking through more than 60 homes, we finally placed a bid on a 10-year old home with most of the space we desired; however, after learning it was full of wood rot, we quickly retracted our bid and started over once more. We started to research new home construction in the area not believing we could afford a newly built home.
Once we came across River Hills in Bolingbrook, we were amazed at the size of home we could buy. The cost was half that of the older homes we were looking at for the same size. The home building process was easy. Working with Erin in the sales department was like having a good friend helping us along the way. In fact all members of the K. Hovnanian family were fantastic to work with Erin in the Sales team, Sean in construction and Megan in design.
We've been in our home for 10 months now and its everything we could have hoped for and more! Thanks to K. Hovnanian, our dream has finally come true!

Earlier this year our goal was to sell our home in Maryland and search for a home in the Dover, Delaware area. The K. Hovnanian website brought us to Longacre Village.
We toured the model home with Nick, the sales representative, and discussed all the advantages of residing in Delaware. Nick took great time and effort discussing all the possible building options we may want for our new home. We left knowing exactly what to expect and returned within days to sign a contract. Since that first meeting with Nick we have had the pleasure of also working with Cosie Metrinko, sales representative and Eduardo Gomes, construction manager. These three individuals made buying our new home a most pleasant experience. Longacre Village is a lovely community that prides itself on customer service. The K. Hovnanian staff is welcoming and eager to assist no matter how small the detail or request. We are now settled in our K. Hovnanian home and love every square foot.
Ardeen Copeland-Lupton - Delaware
Josh made the process easy and enjoyable because he has a great personality, is extremely knowledgeable and was there to answer questions whenever we needed him.
We were always comfortable dealing with him because he was excellent about keeping us informed, offered to send us pictures to keep us up-to-date on progress, and we absolutely love our new home!
Mr. & Mrs. Hawk - Delaware
My family and I had a wonderful experience with K. Hovnanian. From start to finish, the K. Hovnanian team helped us to find our dream/retirement home and made the journey worth the wait.
Gherri was very helpful and was accommodating, she made sure we were able to include everything we wanted and stayed within our budget. Fred the superintendent walked us through the process and ensured we knew what to expect. Although he left shortly after we closed on our home, he made sure everything went as smooth as possible and saw the process through before moving on to his next location. Jaime from the mortgage team answered all my questions and responded as quickly as possible if I was not able to get a hold of her when I called.
Fatima P. Pearson - Delaware
As one of the first buyers in the new Vistabella build outs, I loved the location, the floor plan and the close proximity to shopping, great food and the beach.
The neighborhood is growing into a friendly, warm and welcoming group of people. It's all location, location, location! Great area, great people and a great place to call home.
Amy , Erik & Barbara made everything smooth and professional. From my first tour to the day of close and the final walk-through, they made sure every question was answered and every tiny thing was perfect for me. I love coming home!
Lisa Neu - Florida
I like the layout, location, and the price of the home. The new community is welcoming and I look forward to enjoying the future-planned community areas. Growth and development in the area is on the rise again and this home and its location has been a smart future investment.
One of the things I enjoyed most about purchasing a home from K. Hovnanian was the upfront, open and honest conversations we had with Howard Johnson, our agent. From the first day we walked in on a whim to his office to nearing our closing date and final purchase, Mr. Johnson has been available to answer or elaborate on any questions, comments or concerns we may have had along the way. At no point did we ever feel pressured, or unwelcomed. In a time of dismal customer service, Howard, by honest nature, has exceeded all of our expectations.

I closed on my K. Hovnanian home in the Village of Wesmere in March 2014. My new home suits me perfectly, and I appreciated the opportunity to personalize it with all the choices I had at the Design Center. Everyone loves my kitchen, and it's been great for entertaining!
The location couldn't be better with shopping, restaurants and many conveniences within minutes as well as easy access to everywhere I need to go. My new community offers a pool and a gated entry, and those were very important features for me.
I was away during the time my home was being built, and I was always kept up to date with progress reports and photos from my Sales Consultant. My Builder was accessible and easy to work with. Everyone had a genuine concern for my satisfaction with my home and my entire home buying experience.
The Village of Wesmere team - Dani Moore, Anne Youngs, Tanzira Rashid, and Chad Smith - were a pleasure to work with, and I've recommended them and K. Hovnanian Homes to my friends.
Graeme Symons - Florida
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to K. Hovnanian Homes as a preferred contractor in the Tampa, Florida area. K. Hovnanian Homes has been instrumental in the success of our home being built in Parson's Woods. They have been consistently responsive to our needs and an open level of communication has remained unbroken, despite my living 1,200 miles away from the construction site.
From the beginning, Karen May and Julie Piccolo have been upmost professional and extremely caring in helping me and my family choose options for the building of our new dream-home. Their knowledge, guidance, and patience were highly noted and appreciated. I felt as though I was dealing with family that truly cared and wanted to provide me with the best service that one could give.
The next phase was to go to the design center to pick out the options for our new home. This is where my wife and I had the pleasure of meeting for the first time, Kathy Cowan. She walked us through an entire house and explained in perfect detail every option available to us. Although this might have been an overwhelming task, Kathy was able to create a most enjoyable experience. Her knowledge and foresight helped us take our visions to next steps and without her help and guidance, I am not sure that we could have accomplished perfection.
In just a few short months into the project, I visited my home and was truly amazed at how much progress had been made. I would like to thank Robert Gullo, the construction manager. He is one of the best hands-on people I have ever dealt with. Any time there was a concern or an issue, it was quickly explained or/then dealt with by Robert. His level of input in my home has made my experience more than positive. His demand for quality shows in every aspect of the home. Randy Hermanson and Robert make an excellent team and I am confident that my home will be structurally sound.
In closing, I cannot stress enough how valuable this team of people is to your corporation. It has been a pleasure working with them.
The McQuade Family - Florida
This is our 5th new home construction and it was by far the best experience. The K. Hovnanian staff is a professional and genuine caring crew. They realize that it is our home and not just another building.
A big shout out to Amy and Scott for their friendly and compassionate listening skills that made our home beautiful both inside and out. We love the close stores and restaurants that are within walking distance and the quiet community at night. The view of the pool, lagoon and canal are quite soothing. We tell all our friends we have waterfront property!
Jeff & Deb Cunningham - Florida
After 25 years of living in the same home in the Northeast, we had tremendous anxiety about moving. Pam Wingate and the professionals at K. Hovnanian couldn't have made our move to Hampton Cay in Palm Beach Gardens easier, helping us every step of the way as we progressed from deposit to moving in.
And even now, in the post "closing" phase, they're still tending to all our questions and issues with patience and professionalism. Thanks go out to not only to Pam, but to Lisa P., Joe P., Mike, and the entire K. Hovnanian team.
They've been incredibly responsive, and their pride in the K. Hovnanian product has translated into a very positive experience for our entire family. We're delighted to be a part of the K. Hovnanian family.
Joan & David Applebaum - Florida
My husband Brian, two kids and I are very satisfied owners of a townhome in the Village of Wesmere. We love the open floor plan of the Monroe Model. There is room for everything we need and plenty of hidden closet space for extras. Since we scheduled to buy before it was built, we were able to choose the extras to fit us! We have a townhome unit that backs up to one of the grassy/park areas. It is fun to run out back to play and also watch others enjoy it too!
We have been able to meet many of our neighbors and other families who live in our community and have been very impressed with the friendliness of everyone. We like to meet at the playground in the fall, winter and spring to catch up with other families; and in the summer we spend many days at the pool! Although we have had trouble with the gates, the neighborhood still feels safe. Also, there are lots of things to do outside of our neighborhood in the surrounding area - many shopping centers, some delicious restaurants, and several parks in which to play. There is so much to do here!
The home was completed on time and was done to our satisfaction. We met with Chris Wade several times to go over some things, to ask questions and to change some things, and he was always willing to meet us and help in any way he could. We also went in to the model home many times to ask questions and look around. Tanzira and Anne were always so gracious, especially when we brought our kids with us. Everyone we worked with was very professional and helpful!
We use the pool and playground all the time and we have rented the clubhouse several times. We have even used the clubhouse for a 5-day Neighborhood Kids Club in the summer time when the kids are out of school. It is a fun way to get to know the families in the community and to enrich the lives of our children too! We use the screen enclosure often too - sometimes having "Story Time" for the preschool age kids during the school year.
Thank you for everything you have done to make this a wonderful home-buying experience!
Lori Wimberly - Florida
Buying a home from K. Hovnanian was so easy and fast! We were guided through the process step-by-step, and it seemed very simple. We enjoy seeing the community grow, and we're always excited to meet the new neighbors. We have fun comparing houses because we all love our homes so much!
The location of Creekside is great, especially the proximity to schools. We get the feeling of being in a nice wooded natural setting, but we can get in and out of town quickly without the traffic delays that can build up further down the road... a very convenient location!
Lisa D. Parker - Georgia
I'd like to compliment one of your employees, Stephanie Foust, for the outstanding customer service that she provided my family and me. Ms. Foust assisted with getting repairs completed within my home. I have been pleased with the services that I've received from K. Hovnanian.
Nicholas Smith assisted me prior to Ms. Foust and I am forever grateful for this. My husband is legally blind and confined to a wheel chair. Mr. Smith was very accommodating and understanding to this and Ms. Foust has followed his lead. I contacted the team about my floor lifting and I received a response within 24 hours. Ms. Foust completed a site visit within 48 hours of the initial call. Ms. Foust informed me that an approval had to be sought before a decision could be made as to whether the damages to my floor would be covered by K. Hovnanian. She updated me throughout the approval process. Once the approval was sought a date was scheduled to start the work. Ms. Foust accompanied the contractors each day until the work was completed. There were days that I had to leave because of prescheduled appointments and I entrusted Ms. Foust in my home. I am forever grateful for the work that K. Hovnanian has completed and Ms. Foust's outstanding customer service.
Deborah Freeman - Maryland
My husband and I stopped into K. Hovnanian Homes Seneca model at The Vistas at Quince Orchard Park in Gaithersburg while house hunting and we fell in love with the community at first glance. We were downsizing to a Townhome from a single family as well as relocating for my husbands' job and finding the perfect place that balanced our new life with the old was very important to us.
The floor plan had great flow and after buying and selling many homes including several new homes we were impressed with the way the homes were constructed and how it would fit our lifestyle. Before and after we purchased our home Art, Christine, Tommy and Jen made sure we were kept up to date weekly on the progress of construction and up to date on the mortgage process.
Even after we settled they called frequently to make sure that everything is working properly and that we are happy. We love our new home- and the team at K. Hovnanian helped make the process easy for us.
Teresa and Victor Raad - Maryland
We must admit, we headed into this process expecting it to go like a sale of a used car. It was nothing of the sort. The first time we walked into Kyle's office he was extremely polite and informative, without being pushy or demanding. We took some information and went on our way. As we began to delve further into the process we quickly realized how lucky we were Kyle was our sales representative. He was extremely honest, and I believe he really cared about getting us in the home that we truly wanted. He clearly had a vast understanding of how the procedure worked, from picking a model, to design, to construction. Kyle is even the one that recommended who we finance through which turned out to be great. With this being our first purchase, we had no idea what we were walking into, but left feeling like pros. Kyle constantly made sure we were happy throughout the entire process.
Next, Kevin Barnes for the actual construction of our home. From the moment Kevin broke ground on our lot, to the day we were handed keys, we felt like we had everything under control. Of course we were stressed, who wouldn't be, but Kevin was able to answer every one of our questions with a positive attitude while being extremely informative. If we had a minor issue or a question arose, we felt 100% confident we could send an email and have an answer/solution by the end of the day. I also wanted to note that our home was finished and keys given to us BEFORE the date they predicted. I've never seen a home built faster and with as much attention to detail.
At the bottom of most K. Hovnanian documents we saw the statement "When we ask you if you would recommend us to family and friends, we want your answer to always be... Definitely Yes" Well our answer is definitely yes, and we will be recommending to everyone we know! Thank You to everyone who made this possible for us!
Jessica Tinfina - Ohio
I often hear of the horror stories from other couples when they were building their new homes. Anything from poor workmanship, rude crews and low quality materials. I can honestly say our experience was nothing but positive from our initial meeting with Debbie. We were able to set the price we wanted to spend and she provided us with the house to fit all of our needs. Not one charge ever appeared over and above what we were told at the contract signing.
Where can I begin with Chuck? Some good advice from me is KEEP him. He deserves and earns every bit of his salary. He followed through with every request we had, kept the job moving and on schedule and made sure everything was exactly as it should have been. We could tell he actually cared that we had a quality home and were satisfied through every step of the process.
Every crew that came to the job site from the framers, roofers, trimmers, etc. was very helpful and respectful. If we needed a question answered they were always honest and answered right away. They came in, did their job and were gone before we could thank them for the great work they did. And it was top notch to say the least.
From owning several other homes we had certain items that Pam and I did on our own and of course wanted to have them in the new home. When we asked Chuck when we could do them he would always say we have a crew that does that or it's already done. Honestly we gave up in the end trying to find those little extras we wanted to add because K. Hovnanian already includes them during construction.
I could go on and on about all the positives we experienced and can truthfully say we do not have any negatives to pass on to you. Our experience in one word would be fantastic and you can bet if we or anyone we know would be looking for a top notch company to build a new home in the future then K. Hovnanian gets our vote!
Pam and Dave Rearick - Ohio
We moved here from another neighborhood here on the island. It's great to be in a new neighborhood with all new homes and all new neighbors. Everybody is getting to know one another at the same time.
My husband restores old cars and he enjoys boating. One of his favorite things about the house is the garage. Our garage is so big that it can fit his antique car collection. Now we are hoping to find a boat that we can get through the standard size double garage door as well. There is certainly room in there.
It's lovely having our morning coffee off our porches. The breezes that blow through off the marsh allow us to keep the porches open instead of having them screened. Because of the breeze and being up so high, there are no bugs.
I thought I would hate the stairs, but I do not even notice them now. I can run up and down them comfortably. Everybody said that I would get used to them, and I really have. I feel very safe in my house up in the air. When my husband and son are not at home, I can go out on my back porch at night without any worries.
The neighborhood pool is great too. I said I would never use that pool, and now we go every day. It's a fun way to meet new people, and I enjoy seeing the children.
We just had my husband's family here and they loved the house!
Cathy Shaw - South Carolina
We moved to Jarvis Creek Club last year. We've enjoyed having our owner's suite on the downstairs level. The entire layout of the first floor is really nice. The kitchen is open and blends well with the living area.
It's also great to having such nice size bedrooms upstairs, allowing us to use one as a second master. The loft area, which I use as my office, works so well. We use the upstairs area for our extended family when they come to visit. The configuration of the rooms upstairs makes it the perfect place for guests.
Of course, one of our favorite things about living in Jarvis Creek Club is the setting of the neighborhood. We enjoy being on our porches in back, and looking out over our view. The homes in our neighborhood all have a very southern island feel.
Joe Flora - South Carolina
It was exciting, scary, and stressful and satisfying all rolled in one. We hadn't been in the home buying market in over 20 years and things had changed quite a bit. There were lots of decisions to be made and lots of financial paperwork to be done, but with the help of Jami and Amber at the sales office and Maryellen Hunt, the account manager, we got it all done to our satisfaction.
It was really great having Gene Smith working in the neighborhood. He was very helpful in answering our questions and taking care of any problems immediately. We are thankful to all of these people for helping make our home buying experience pleasant.
We moved into our new home on the day we were told and have enjoyed living here for a little over a year now. We had a few little cracks and needed some touch up painting and that was done to our satisfaction. All in all we are very pleased with the workmanship of our new home and we are very proud of it.
Larry and Heidi Murray - South Carolina
This is such a lovely neighborhood! Location, Location, Location! It is so easy to connect to the south end of the island, and getting to Bluffton is also super easy. We enjoy not having to drive for miles to get out of a plantation.
We also love how quiet it is. The neighborhood is very quiet, and also the inside of our home is very quiet.
We have a great view of the pond behind our house. Our home epitomizes the definition of Lowcountry living. With its tall pine trees, it feels like we live in a tree house.
The energy efficiency of our home is great. It is easily 1/10th of the cost of our house in Texas. All of our bills are much lower here. The house is so well sealed, very solid, and nicely balanced.
Any request that we have had for Homeowner Services have been addressed in 24 hours. Our sales process went super smoothly. The dialog during the sales process was useful, and it reassured us that we did not need to come every day. We knew the builder would take care of everything.
Mark Thacker - South Carolina
My favorite thing about my house is sitting on the large back porches watching the sunset over the marsh. My wife and I love being here on the island in a home that has such great island style. Our house looks out over a view that is private and extraordinary.
Once we were on our upper deck with a friend at high tide and we actually saw a large gator gliding by going down the marsh. The birds are spectacular. I have sighted over 40 varieties of birds right from my back deck. We placed feeders and flowers along our porch railing. This attracts many visitors that I enjoy observing each day.
Because I enjoy photography, Jarvis Creek Club is a great place to live. I can leave my house, take a long walk on the bike paths around the island, and capture many interesting photos with my camera. The north end location is also nice for getting off the island easily.
Sam Cathey - South Carolina
We had a great experience with Tamara!
She came along towards the end of our process and made sure that we were taken care of and our house was on schedule. She was extremely helpful and truly made our home building process a great experience!
Kendayl Fissel - Virginia
I recently worked with Joshua and Kate Newhard to purchase their first home in the K. Hovnanian neighborhood of River Pointe in Leesburg and wanted to share with you the overwhelmingly positive experience. Sonja Winter, our sales consultant, provided expert guidance, support, and follow up throughout the entire buying, building, and closing process. Sonja's in depth real estate experience and working toward her customer's complete satisfaction allowed Sonja and K. Hovnanian to make Josh and Kate's dream home come true.
I also want to thank Todd Remsburg our site supervisor at River Pointe. His attention to detail was the most thorough of any new home site supervisor I have encountered in my career. His professionalism and dedication to "getting the job done and done right" were appreciated and refreshing!
Sonja and Todd are to be commended and acknowledged for their professionalism and customer care. I will highly recommend them to my real estate community!
Sharon Walters - Virginia
We are still working on getting everything unpacked and in its place.
You and the team should be very proud of the service that you provide. We could not be more pleased with every aspect of the K. Hovnanian home purchasing process. Thank you again for all that you have done for us.
T. & S. Hardison - Virginia
We had a great experience when we purchased our home from K. Hovnanian back in 2012. The house is in The Villages at Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas.
We worked with Tina Peterson, Jerry Sadler and the ladies at the design gallery. Everyone was wonderful to work with!
This was the fourth house we have built and was by far the best experience. I will definitely continue to recommend K. Hovnanian to anyone interested in buying a house!
Jill Hinton - Texas
The entire home building process with K. Hovnanian was flawless. When we arrived at the model and first met Cassian it was not what I expected. I didn't get the hard sell, just good information on the builder, the community and the build process. Over the next 180 days from that initial meeting we truly felt like we had a member of the family helping us build our "empty nester".
Everyone at K. Hovnanian from design, build, financing and closing made us feel comfortable. After the experience with building our previous home we were prepared for many challenges and those never materialized with K. Hovnanian. The specifics of the build experience were as follows.
Cassian Bernard, was there for us at every turn no matter the subject. The regular updates on the build progress were informative and took the guesswork of out of what was going to happen next. Destiny Garcia, our design consultant, was pleasant and professional. She took our ideas and made them a reality. Our custom enhancements were handled with care. The guys never said "No" and never seemed to have a bad day. K. Hovnanian Mortgage was the winner when I searched for the best mortgage. Closing was easy and handled professionally.
John and Yvonne Atkins - Texas
We looked at Fall Creek without any real expectations of the community, after initially focusing on the West side of Houston. Though the lot was not on the golf course as we originally anticipated, we found the house and lot size/placement perfect for our growing family.
The people at Parkwood Builders who sold us our house and managed the construction and closing process were extremely helpful during the process and were always available to our requests, needs, and questions - and still are. We love our new home and the great neighborhood that our children are now a part of. They have adapted to the good schools, and found tons of other children in the neighborhood to become close friends with.
We get nothing but nice comments on our new home from our family and friends, and we are very happy with our decision to buy & build a home with Parkwood Builders in this community.
Brian Shannon - Texas
I wanted to take this time to sincerely thank you for the compassion that you showed my family and me during our transition into our new home. First and foremost, we absolutely love our newly built Brighton home and my husband and I realize that you played a major role in our ability to secure our home due to the ups and downs we experienced with the mortgage company.
We are extremely grateful to you and Ms. Linda for 'having our backs'. The sign outside the model home in Lake Shore Harbour Village reads, "Building Your Dreams". Well, I am ecstatic to say that our dream was built! We realize that you were only obligated to build our home but you went above and beyond by showing us that you truly cared about us actually getting to live in our home. On numerous occasions, you could have sent us a bill but instead you sent us support and consideration. This, to me, speaks volumes.
Despite the challenges we were faced with, I declare the experience we had with K. Hovnanian/Brighton was an absolute success and blessing and that is attributed to you and Ms. Linda. So on behalf of my husband and our three children, I want to say THANK YOU!
Errynne G. Amey - Texas
My wife Rhonda and I purchased a new Brighton Home on May 23, 2014 and found the purchase process very straight forward and all expectations were met. We were looking for nice little house to purchase and in a very short period of time to get it done. From our first contact with Lauri Harvey and Caroline at the sales office to the walk through inspection with the building supervisor Daniel, everything was handled in a professional and timely manner. The loan process and closing went over smooth with no problems and might I add very quickly.
The house, although much smaller than the one we just sold, had all the amenities we were looking for and we are settling in nicely. A lot of upgrades were already put into the build and the home has more of a custom feel and look rather than just another track home.
We have contacted the home warranty department for some very minor repairs and detail work which are fairly common in a new home and they got right on the job and fixed them satisfactorily and on time.
We would whole heartedly recommend Brighton Homes to anyone looking for a great home at a good value.
P. & R. Eckenroth - Texas
When David Uhlinger found out that his job would be relocating him from central New Jersey to Montgomery County, PA, finding a new home was an immediate priority. Uhlinger knew a few things right off the bat.
"I wanted a nice property out in the country," Uhlinger shared. "I wanted to be relatively close to work. And I knew that I wanted a townhome. I work long hours and in my down-time, I spend a lot of time golfing and skiing, so a townhouse definitely fits my lifestyle better."
When his realtor led him to K. Hovnanian's® Providence Corner, an appealing new community of distinctive townhomes in Montgomery County's Upper Providence, Uhlinger had a sense that he had found his new home. "The nice country, pastoral setting was what prompted my eye," he explained. "The construction looked superb and I liked that the homes had two-car garages. Plus, it's centrally located and very convenient." After looking at a lot of other communities in the area, Uhlinger made his decision to purchase at Providence Corner. "The end really says it, I guess," he laughs. "I was most impressed with K. Hovnanian® - their builders, their salespeople, the warranty, everything. And the community presented a really good value, as well."
Providence Corner is increasingly becoming the first choice for more and more homebuyers like Uhlinger, who are seeking great convenience, value and location. The appealing new neighborhood features new two-story townhomes with up to 2,026 square feet of living space, 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, a loft, and 2-car garages, which appealed to Uhlinger. Each home also comes standard with a basement, but homeowners can upgrade to a daylight or walkout basement. Pricing for the spacious new townhomes begins at $274,990, with 100% financing available for qualified homebuyers.
Uhlinger purchased a Princeton spec home at Providence Corner and is very pleased, having moved in this past June. "I'm extremely impressed with the home," he said. "It's very nice and high-end, with hardwood floors, granite countertops, a bar and a beautiful deck that my son just helped me seal, plus the finished basement. This is the first new construction I've ever owned and it's wonderful not to be replacing things! It's also nice to get such a great warranty."
Providence Corner provides for low-maintenance, contemporary living in a highly convenient location. "The community really is centrally located," Uhlinger said. "Everything is just within a few minutes. We're near the King of Prussia Mall, Phoenixville, close to the Turnpike, Routes 202 and 402, the Schuykill Expressway. And I'm about 20 minutes from work. Plus, my son and I play golf and there are a lot of courses in the area. In fact, there's a lot to do for families with kids - bike paths, there's a wonderful YMCA about a half-mile down the road. And the neighborhood is a very social community. There are a lot of families with young kids, everyone uses their decks. The neighbors are absolutely wonderful - it's a very congenial feeling."
There truly is a wide range of outdoor activities available in the area, all close by Providence Corner. The Schuylkill River Trail runs close to the community, offering a wonderful setting for a brisk walk in the evening or a game of catch with the kids. You also can go boating on the Schuylkill River.
Touted by Forbes magazine in 2008 as one of "America's Best Places to Raise a Family" Montgomery County is famous for its luxurious Main Line suburbs and scenic country landscape. Located just off of Route 402, Providence Corner is only 15 minutes from the Pennsylvania Turnpike and I-76.
David Uhlinger, like so many other homeowners at Providence Corner, found exactly what he was looking for in a home. "I'm extremely happy; couldn't be happier," he shares. "The quality of construction, the value, the quality of people I worked with at K. Hovnanian®. They are all extremely professional and helpful. They follow through on things and they deliver! I'm very impressed on all accounts." So much so, in fact, that Uhlinger has become an ambassador of sorts for the community. "I've already talked it up to people at work and recommended it to others who are looking!" he laughs.
David Uhlinger - Pennsylvania
When Ed Thomas' job moved him to South Carolina in 2008, he and his wife, Eleanor, left a bit of their hearts in Montgomery County. "It's home," Ed affirms. "We lived in King of Prussia for 25 years. Most of our family is in Pennsylvania. My son lives outside of Coatesville, one of my wife's sisters is in the area. So when I retired after two years in South Carolina, we moved back. We wanted to be back home in Pennsylvania."
Deciding exactly where to live in eastern Pennsylvania upon moving back was not quite as easy a decision. "We started looking at communities online around December of 2010," Ed explains. "We weren't sure if we wanted a single-family home or a townhome, or exactly where we wanted to be. Over the course of about eight months, we looked at dozens of places online. We must have visited three-dozen different new-home communities, as well as single-family and town homes that were up for re-sale. And we looked all around Montgomery, Delaware and Chester Counties."
The very first community the Thomases visited in person, after discovering it online, was K. Hovnanian® Providence Corner, an appealing new community of distinctive townhomes in Montgomery County's Upper Providence. "It really appealed to us," Ed says, "and ultimately, we came back to Providence Corner. We found nothing else that we liked as much. We saw a lot of fixer-uppers and townhomes that were priced more than we wanted to spend, even though they didn't have the same features as Providence Corner. We decided to go with a townhome because we didn't want the responsibility of all the maintenance. At Providence Corner, we got an outstanding, well-built, spacious townhome with great features. And the location really sold us - it's just outstanding."
Providence Corner has become the first choice for an increasing number of homebuyers like Eleanor and Ed Thomas, thanks to the community's exceptional homes, strong value and ideal location. The appealing new neighborhood features new two-story townhomes with up to 2,026 square feet of living space, 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, a loft, and 2-car garages. Each home also comes standard with a basement, but homeowners can upgrade to a daylight or walkout basement. Pricing for the spacious new townhomes begins at $276,490, with 100% financing available for qualified homebuyers.
The Thomases purchased a Princeton home at Providence Corner and have been very pleased since moving in this past September. "We really like it," Ed shares. "We got an end unit, which has a lot of space. With the basement, we have even more space. One of the things like most is that when you go upstairs, the master bedroom takes up one whole side of the house, with the master bathroom and walk-in closet. It's the largest master bedroom we've ever had! And it's such a well-maintained, well-mixed neighborhood. There are some older people, some younger families with kids, and it's a very pet-friendly community."
Beyond the design of their home and the mix of neighbors, Ed Thomas appreciates the quality of construction on their new home. "I worked for Verizon for 30 years and used to do pre-wiring of homes, so I've seen the way homes are built. This one here is very well built."
Homeowners at Providence Corner are quick to tout the community's highly convenient location. "The key is that it's not urban," Ed Thomas comments. "It's not as crowded as other areas, like King of Prussia, which is just so congested. Out here, we're still close to everything. We have supermarkets on either side of the neighborhood, and department stores. It's an easy drive to the Philadelphia Premium Outlets and the Reading Outlet stores. And King of Prussia is not more than 15 or 20 minutes away, but you don't have all the traffic or the nuisance of being in such a congested area."
Selected by Forbes magazine in 2008 as one of "America's Best Places to Raise a Family," Montgomery County is famous for its luxurious Main Line suburbs and scenic country landscape. Located just off of Route 402, Providence Corner is only 15 minutes from the Pennsylvania Turnpike and I-76, and close to Route 202. The area provides a wide range of outdoor activities, all close to Providence Corner. The Schuylkill River Trail runs near the community, offering a wonderful setting for a brisk walk in the evening or a game of catch with the kids. There's also a brand-new YMCA located just about a block away.
For Eleanor and Ed Thomas, the move back to Pennsylvania could not have had a happier ending, thanks to their experience at Providence Corner. "From our very first visit until our settlement, we could not have been more pleased with the whole experience. The sales team, the construction managers - they're just the most professional team, very customer-oriented. There was no pressure to buy and no big sales pitch. They let the homes speak for themselves. And believe me, they do!"

Karen and Harry McClay had lived in their four-bedroom single-family home in the Swarthmore area for over thirty years. As much as they enjoyed living in Delaware County, when their two daughters and their families ended up living in Montgomery County, that started to mean a lot of travel for the McClays.
"We were ready for a change," Harry McClay said. "For one thing, we wanted to 'right-size'. We had our home built 30 years ago, but we really didn't need that size home anymore. And then we decided we wanted to be closer to our family. We have five grandchildren who all live up this way in Montgomery County and it started to become a chore to visit them, with all the traveling. We were starting to miss some of their events and activities because of the distance, so we decided to sell our home and move closer."
Rather than finding and purchasing a new home before selling their old one, the McClays opted to sell first. After their home sold last fall, they moved in with one of their daughters in Collegeville and began looking around for homes - a process that ultimately led them to Providence Corner, a new townhome community in Upper Providence Township from K. Hovnanian® Homes®.
"My initial idea was to buy a used home, because I thought we would get more value," McClay continued. "We looked at several resale homes and our agent started to suggest we consider something new. She said, 'Think about the fact that you're getting an old water heater, an old roof, old carpet, etc.' And that made us second-guess our initial decision to buy a resale home. It would have been costly to update someone else's old home! Plus with a new home, we would be able to choose what we wanted rather than what someone before us chose."
As they started to look for new homes, one of the McClay's daughters suggested that they consider Providence Corner. "She told us about K. Hovnanian® and what good homes they sell," McClay said. "She knew people who had lived in K. Hovnanian® communities, who were very pleased. So she brought my wife to visit Providence Corner first. Then I went back with her to look around some more. We went back a couple of times and decided for a number of reasons that this was the right place for us."
Providence Corner has successfully appealed to a variety of homebuyers, from "right-sizing" or move-down buyers like the McClays, to many first-time buyers. The community offers distinctive, maintenance-free two-story townhomes in a prime location, at an exceptional value. Karen and Harry McClay were quick to acknowledge the value.
"We saw the value and recognized that this would be a very good move for us," Harry said. "Plus the taxes and fees are very reasonable. But there were a lot of factors that sold us on the property. For one thing, now we're an easy seven minutes and ten minutes away from our daughters and grandchildren. Plus, we like the low-maintenance aspect - especially now that I don't have to cut the grass anymore! But I was really impressed with the quality of the construction. I've been in construction for 35 years as a master electrician and I found a lot of really nice things about their workmanship. Other new homes we looked at, the construction was not equal. The quality just didn't compare to K. Hovnanian®. And we appreciated how thorough they were, offering us several walkthroughs of the home. Mark and Matt, the project managers, are very knowledgeable and concerned that everything gets done the best way for the customer."
Providence Corner has made a strong impression on a lot of buyers like the McClays, and also throughout the homebuilding industry in the area. Last year, the community received a number of Synergy Awards, which are given annually by the Home Builders Associations of Bucks and Montgomery and Chester and Delaware Counties to honor home builders for excellence in design. Among other awards, Providence Corner was honored as Townhome Community of the Year and received the Home of the Year award for its Dartmouth model (Best Townhome Under 2,500 Square Feet).
The community is now selling its second phase of homes, with a number of prime homes that will be ready for quick move-in. Buyers have a choice of two expansive floorplans: the Dartmouth and the Princeton models. Homes have up to 2,026 square feet of living space, with 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2; baths, a loft, and 2-car garages. Each home also comes standard with a basement, but homeowners can upgrade to a daylight or walkout basement. And as Harry McClay noted, homeowners also enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle, with trash removal and lawn care provided. Pricing for the spacious new townhomes, which is subject to change, begins in the upper $200s.
The McClays chose a Dartmouth spec home, which they moved into in early May. "We really liked the layout and the price," Harry McClay commented. "We decided to go with a spec home and were happy that we could still pick what we wanted in pre-construction options. My wife really likes the walk-in closet and the huge bathroom. We never had a master bathroom before. We like the open concept of the living room, family room and kitchen. And the walkout basement is another nice feature - especially because I have a pool table I needed to move in!"
In addition to allowing them to be closer to their family, the location of Providence Corner has also pleased the McClays in other ways. "We really like the area," Harry McClay said. "It's very well maintained and everything is so convenient. There are stores every which way you can go, plus outlet malls nearby and a lot of restaurants." Located just off of Route 422, Providence Corner does indeed offer one of Montgomery County's most convenient locations. The community is only 15 minutes from the Pennsylvania Turnpike and I-76, and close to Route 202. Homeowners enjoy an easy commute to Philadelphia, King of Prussia and Great Valley. The area also provides a wide range of outdoor activities, all close by. Valley Forge National Park is only minutes away and the Schuylkill River Trail runs near the community, offering a wonderful setting for a brisk walk in the evening or a game of catch with the kids. There's also a brand-new YMCA located just about a block away, a facility which Harry McClay calls "second to none."
Though they're still settling into their new home, the McClays are excited to be part of Providence Corner. "We're very happy," Harry said. "The staff here has been great. They're very personable and they really know their stuff. There was no pushiness at all. They explained everything in detail and presented all our options. And they're there all the way with you - there's no disappearing from that gang! I would recommend Providence Corner to anyone. It was the right fit for us. Overall, the quality of the workmanship is one of the first things you're going to notice. When you walk in, you'll see the difference in the details."

When Michelle Filling-Brown and Pat Brown were ready to purchase their first home, like most buyers, they had their list of requirements. The Montgomery County couple wanted to stay in the same general area where they were renting, somewhere along the Route 422 corridor. They wanted to find a townhome-style design that offered a maintenance-free experience. And, as Michelle noted, "One of the things I wanted was a two-car garage, so that kind of narrowed our options!"
After searching online for new homes in the area that met their requirements, Michelle and Pat discovered Providence Corner, a new townhome community in Upper Providence Township from K. Hovnanian® Homes®. Providence Corner has proven quite successful in appealing to a variety of homebuyers, including many first-time buyers like Michelle and Pat, by offering distinctive, maintenance-free two-story townhomes in a prime location, at an exceptional value. Pat recalled their first visit to the new community. "We were in the area and had about fifteen minutes to spare, so we decided to pop in and take a look at Providence Corner," Pat said. "My youngest son was with us and once we saw the model and walked through it, he sat down in the basement and said, 'Why don't we just buy this house?' We laughed, but Michelle and I kind of agreed with him! We really liked it. From the time we pulled in the driveway at the sales office to the moment we made our decision to buy, it was about a 20-minute timespan!"
Providence Corner has that kind of immediate impact on visitors. The community is so impressive, in fact, that it received a number of Synergy Awards last year, given annually by the Home Builders Associations of Bucks and Montgomery and Chester and Delaware Counties to honor home builders for excellence in design. Among other awards, Providence Corner was honored as Townhome Community of the Year and received the Home of the Year award for its Dartmouth model (Best Townhome Under 2,500 Square Feet).
For Michelle-Filling Brown and Pat Brown, a number of factors led to their 20-minute decision to buy at Providence Corner. The community certainly met their requirements in terms of location, low-maintenance and townhome designs that included a two-car garage. Beyond that immediate checklist, however, they were impressed by a few other key benefits - not the least of which was the value. "We looked at one other community," Michelle shared, "and the homes were very nice. But you just get so much more for your money with K. Hovnanian®. There was so much value here at Providence Corner Pat agreed, adding, "We got every single upgrade we wanted and the price was still less than the base price of the other community we looked at."
The community is now selling its second phase of homes and has a number of prime homes that will be ready for quick move-in. Buyers have a choice of two expansive floorplans: the Dartmouth and the Princeton models. Homes have up to 2,026 square feet of living space, with 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, a loft, and 2-car garages. Each home also comes standard with a basement, but homeowners can upgrade to a daylight or walkout basement. Homeowners also enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle, with trash removal and lawn care provided. Pricing for the spacious new townhomes, which is subject to change, begins in the upper $200s.
Michelle and Pat chose a Princeton model, which they fell in love with immediately. "When you walk in the door, it is very striking," Pat said "It makes an immediate impression and has that 'wow' factor. It's very spacious, very homey. It fits who we are. It's perfect for Saturday afternoon with the family, for Sunday morning & the layout is ideal for us." Michelle agreed, adding, "I love all the finishes. I was very 'wowed' by things like the stainless steel, the granite countertops, and the soaking tub in the master bath. There are just a lot of really pretty finishes. I also love cooking and being in the kitchen, which is really beautiful. It's nice and open, with a breakfast bar - perfect for entertaining."
The location was also ideal for them, as Pat explained "We couldn't have asked for a better location," he said. "It's close to our church, which we're very active in. We're near restaurants, movies, shopping. The way our world is, between work and life and the boys' school and activities, it's perfect for us." Providence Corner offers one of Montgomery County's most convenient locations. Located just off of Route 422, the neighborhood is only 15 minutes from the Pennsylvania Turnpike and I-76, and close to Route 202. Homeowners enjoy an easy commute to Philadelphia, King of Prussia and Great Valley. The area also provides a wide range of outdoor activities, all close by. Valley Forge National Park is only minutes away and the Schuylkill River Trail runs near the community, offering a wonderful setting for a brisk walk in the evening or a game of catch with the kids. There's also a brand-new YMCA located just about a block away.
Michelle, Pat and their two sons moved into their new home last September - and they couldn't be happier with the new neighborhood and their homebuying experience at Providence Corner. "Everyone here has been really, really nice," Michelle shared, "from the team in the sales office to our neighbors." Pat was quick to agree, saying, "Our dealing with the office here has been near perfect. The guys in charge of building were also real pros and so nice. They answered all our questions and explained everything clearly until we really understood." Michelle summed it up by adding, "They all made us feel like the most important people."
Michelle and Pat were equally moved by the friendliness of their neighbors. "We would come by every week while our home was being built, and we met so many neighbors who were so generous. People offered to let us walk through their homes to get ideas. From our first visit, we just knew it was going to a really cool place to live." Pat concurred, "The level of hospitality from our neighbors has been unbelievable," he said "There are a lot of young families like ours, which was evident on Halloween by the number of trick-or-treaters we had! Everyone has just been super. We couldn't ask for a more welcoming neighborhood to move into."

When Anne and Jim Russomano decided that it was time to downsize from their five-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom home in Glen Ridge, they knew a few things. They wanted a smaller home that required less maintenance. They wanted to be close to their business, Nutley KIA and Goodyear, where they both spend long days at work. And they didn't want to be in one of those "senior communities" as Anne explained, laughing.
"I was only 50 when we started looking, so I didn't think we were anywhere near ready for a 55+ community," Anne continued. "We started looking mostly at single-family resale homes, but everything we saw in our price range was atrocious, or needed a lot of work done. I would go out looking on weekends when my husband worked and I would come home so depressed after looking at all these homes that were ridiculously priced. We finally got to the place where we said, 'What are we doing?' Then one day my husband said, "Let's go look at that place on the hill.' And I said, 'Over my dead body!"
That "place on the hill" was K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at Great Notch Spa and Club, a popular active-adult community in Passaic County. The community has proven to be one of North Jersey's most successful active-adult neighborhoods, attracting buyers from all around New Jersey and the metro New York region.
Living and working in the surrounding area, the Russomanos were aware of K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at Great Notch. "We had seen it going up as it was being built and we had seen the signs for it everywhere," Anne recalled. "But I never thought about it until my husband suggested we check it out. So one day while he was at work, I followed the signs for an open house at Great Notch. I figured, He'll never know. I'll just sneak in and see what I find.' I came in, met with Kim Gibbs, and told her our situation: that we had four kids in college, we wanted to downsize, but needed a place for them to stay when they come home from school for holidays and summers. She said, 'I have the perfect place for you. Come and see it.' And she showed me one of their Malbec spec homes. As soon as I saw it, I immediately called my husband and he came to look at it right after work. The next day we came back and left a deposit!"
K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at Great Notch has a reputation for making strong first impressions - and for changing people's understanding of what an active-adult community can be. Set in a picturesque mountain rock quarry and surrounded by majestic cliffs, with spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline, the community offers an appealing combination of beautifully designed, spacious homes in a tranquil setting, with resort-style amenities, and a highly convenient location only 12 miles from New York City.
The community offers a variety of luxurious home designs, with floor plans that appeal to almost every type of active-adult buyer, including attractive villa, garden and courtyard homes, priced from the low-$400s (prices subject to change). Each home is thoughtfully planned, offering from 1,426 to 2,907 square feet of beautifully designed living space, including two or three bedrooms and up to three full baths. Anne and Jim Russomano moved into their new Malbec home in June 2012.
"We love it here and we have more than enough space," Anne shared. "Our kids come home pretty often, so we added a third bedroom and bath. We had a party around the holidays last year and we had 45 people here. It was beautiful. We were able to put up a twelve-foot Christmas tree, which was outstanding. And we have a beautiful view of the cliff. Every morning I wake up and I think how beautiful this is. We have no one behind us - just that beautiful view. We really didn't want to keep doing the drill of taking care of a big house anymore - and living here, it's mindless. They take care of everything, which is beautiful."
K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at Great Notch also offers a resort-like lifestyle, with a vast array of amenities and activities available to homeowners. Most of these are centered around the community's magnificent 25,000 square-foot clubhouse. Here, residents enjoy a variety of recreational and social lifestyle opportunities that are simply unsurpassed in the area. The facility includes both indoor and outdoor pools, tennis and bocce courts, a putting green, billiards, card and craft rooms, and a state-of-the-art fitness center. A variety of clubs and other social activities are held in the facility, as well.
"They say it's 'resort living' - and it's true," Anne Russomano commented. "I literally to this day feel like I'm on vacation. We use the gym every morning. Our kids like to use the pool when they're home. We've used the tennis courts and gone to different events. And we've made a new group of friends here. Everyone is very nice and it's nice to move somewhere when it's new, because everyone is new at the same time.
No doubt another one of the community's finest amenities is its location. K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at Great Notch is privately tucked away and nicely removed from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Yet, at the same time, the community is within easy reach of major highways, such as Routes 3 and 46, Interstate 80, the Garden State Parkway and the New Jersey Turnpike. Nearby fine dining, lush parks and boutique shopping options also abound. There is even a bus stop right at the entrance of the community, providing direct access to Port Authority.
For Anne and Jim Russomano, moving to K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at Great Notch was the last thing they expected to do - but it ended up being one of the best decisions they've ever made. "We couldn't be happier here," Anne said. "We have a beautiful new home, in a great community that's close to work for us. It's exactly what we were looking for."
A. & J. Russomano - New Jersey
Barbara Kane has lived in her share of cities. Originally from New York, she has spent the past 25 years living in various parts of the country, including San Francisco, Denver and, most recently, Chicago, where she had an apartment in the city and a townhome in the suburbs. While she still travels for work every week, Barbara decided that she was ready to live closer to home again, back in the New York metropolitan area. Her search for a new home started in New York City, which she quickly ruled out.
"I looked in Manhattan, but the pricing is ridiculous," Kane shared. "Brooklyn was just as bad. So I started to look in the Jersey City area, but what you got in terms of square footage for what you paid, it just wasn't worth it. I need some room, so that wasn't going to work! I started searching a little further south into New Jersey; not too far from New York City or Newark Airport, since I do travel every week. But I was willing to go a little further south. If I could get what I wanted, it would be worth it."
That willingness to look a little further south into the Garden State ultimately led Kane to The Ivy at Shrewsbury, a new townhome community in Monmouth County from award-winning builder, K. Hovnanian® Homes®. "A friend of mine drove by The Ivy one day and he knew I was looking for townhomes. He knows me pretty well and he knows what my standards are for a home. I'm extremely picky! So when he saw The Ivy, he said, 'This is one you'll really want to see.' So I did. I wasn't familiar with K. Hovnanian® but when I saw the models and the quality of the builder, I was really intrigued."
A lot of buyers are intrigued by The Ivy at Shrewsbury. As the only new-construction townhome community of its kind in the popular Red Bank-Shrewsbury-Little Silver-Fair Haven area, The Ivy has appealed to a wide variety of buyers throughout New Jersey and beyond. The community features distinctive three-story townhomes at a very affordable price-point, from the mid-$400,000s (subject to change). In addition, The Ivy boasts an ideal location: extremely commuter-friendly and very close to one of New Jersey's hottest "destination" towns, Red Bank. It's a winning combination of factors that has helped The Ivy to be one of the state's fastest-selling new townhome communities.
For Barbara Kane, who moved into her new home at The Ivy in November of last year, it wasn't a decision based primarily on location. As she admitted, "I was not familiar with this area when I bought at The Ivy. Now, months later, I love the Red Bank area! I looked at three different new-construction townhomes around here, all within about a 20-mile radius. But I really liked the models and the quality at The Ivy. And at the end of the day, it was George Economy and the team at The Ivy that sold me on K. Hovnanian®."
Asked to elaborate on her experience working with the team at The Ivy, Kane continued. "It can be a very stressful situation buying a new home; especially when you live in another city and are relocating like I was. I found working with this team a true pleasure. George stayed in constant communication with me. He and Denise, every time I visited, were always so friendly and easy to work with. Every time my partner Tony and I walked in the door, they remembered us. They wanted to do anything they could to make this experience a great one for us - and they truly did. They made it all so easy. And not just the sales team, but the builders, the construction team. They went out of their way to be so nice and they do such a quality job."
An intimate community of only 61 townhomes, The Ivy is now nearly sold out, with only eight homes remaining. The final homes are all St. Andrews models, which offer approximately 2,179 square feet of living space, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, attached two-car garages and optional finished basements. Barbara Kane originally looked at the St. Andrews model, but ultimately chose a Pebble Beach design, which was still available at the time. "I was looking to downsize and this was absolutely perfect," she commented. "I love the open concept of the floorplan. But what really sold me was the optional loft, which was ideal for me. I'm going to turn it into a massive walk-in closet - every woman's dream closet!" she said, laughing.
The Design Center was also a really great experience," Barbara shared, speaking of K. Hovnanian® Home Design Gallery in Edison, where buyers can go to personalize their homes. "They were wonderful! They said 'Come in whenever you want, take your time.' We were building from scratch, so it was a great benefit to be able to pick out things for our new home. I was there three or four times and they were very, very gracious every time. I really appreciated all the upgrades they had available - the crown molding, the larger baseboards. You can make your home very high-end, if that's what you want."
While the community's prime location was not an immediate factor in Barbara Kane's decision to move to The Ivy, she has quickly come to recognize what an advantage it is. "This location is absolutely perfect," she said. "It's very easy to get around. It's centrally located, near the shore, with easy access to highways and then having the train right here. Everything is so close. It really is ideal for commuters. And I eat out a lot, so Red Bank is wonderful. There are tons of different restaurants to choose from."
The Red Bank-Shrewsbury area truly is one of the most desirable and convenient locations in Monmouth County. In fact, Red Bank was ranked #3 on a list of "20 Best Small Towns in America" by Smithsonian magazine in 2012. Homeowners are only two miles from the NJ Transit train station in Red Bank, which offers direct service to New York's Penn Station. They are also within walking distance of a bus stop that leads to Port Authority, making it very convenient for city commuters. Additionally, The Ivy is located only about five miles from the beach; a mere three miles from the fine dining, art galleries, boutiques and shops, entertainment and nightlife of downtown Red Bank; and only one mile from the upscale Grove at Shrewsbury and The Galleria, two popular shopping complexes in the area. It's also close to two of the region's largest medical facilities, Monmouth Medical Center and Riverview Medical Center.
Though Barbara has only lived at The Ivy for a few months now, she already has a great feeling about her new neighbors in the community. "Everyone has been absolutely wonderful," she said. "I haven't met a lot of people yet because of my traveling, but my partner is one of those who quickly gets to know everyone! We actually talked to a lot of people before we moved in, and asked a lot of questions about the area. Everyone was so gracious and wonderful, and you consider that when you're buying- what the neighborhood is like, what the people are like. And everyone raved about the community, which says a lot about the builder. I would recommend K. Hovnanian® in a heartbeat, to anyone looking for a beautiful, high-quality home. In fact, I already have - I'm always telling people about them!"
Barbara Kane - New Jersey
Barbara Shermer and Don Jaclin were ready for a change. While moving from Long Island to New Jersey was not exactly what you would call a "bucket list" goal for the Plainview couple, circumstances led them to start looking for a new home in the Garden State - and to ultimately settle down at K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at Great Notch Spa and Club, a popular active-adult community in Passaic County. In particular, they wanted to be closer to their children and grandchildren; and they were interested in living in a lifestyle community, which presented a challenge for them on Long Island, as Barbara explained.
"Coming from Long Island, unless you move out towards the Hamptons, you are extremely limited in choice in terms of lifestyle communities," Shermer said. "It's very high-priced and extremely congested. With only a few exceptions, they have no real clubhouses. There's nothing like we found here at K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at Great Notch. For us, it was a no-brainer from the get-go. We came here to look last September and by the second time we pulled into the gate, Don said, 'You know what? This feels like home.' And in so many ways, it does. Not only are we closer to our family, but everyone is so friendly and the location is perfect."
Shermer and Jaclin aren't alone in their feeling that nothing compares to K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at Great Notch. The community has proven to be one of North Jersey's most successful active-adult neighborhoods, attracting 55+ buyers from all around New Jersey and the metro New York region, including more than a few from Long Island. Set in a picturesque mountain rock quarry and surrounded by majestic cliffs, with spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline, the community offers an appealing combination of beautifully designed homes in a tranquil setting, with resort-style amenities, and a highly convenient location only 12 miles from New York City.
That combination of factors, combined with proximity to their family, was precisely what won over Shermer and Jaclin, who originally began looking at communities further south in New Jersey. "We started down near Somerset, where we looked at three different communities," Jaclin shared, "but we realized we needed to be further north." Shermer laughed, adding, "Our goal was to get closer to our children and grandchildren, but living down there, we would have been as far away as we were on Long Island!" With their children and grandchildren living in Manhattan, Livingston and Rockaway, NJ, it made more sense to be in North Jersey - and when they found K. Hovnanian's ® Four Seasons at Great Notch online, they were immediately interested.
"It was the layout of the building, the Manhattan view to the east, the beautiful setting. The visual alone was spectacular," Jaclin said. "Then when we went inside, saw the model and met the sales team, who could not have been better. It was the complete package." Shermer agreed. "We love it," she said. "Being set up on a mountain, the visual appeal is really nice. Plus, we're so close to our family, to Manhattan, to all kinds of stores, the Jersey Shore, and it's barely an hour to get back to Long Island to see our friends there."
The resort-like lifestyle offered at K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at Great Notch was also appealing to the Long Island couple. A vast array of amenities and activities are available to homeowners, most of which are centered around the magnificent 25,000 square-foot clubhouse. Here, residents enjoy a variety of recreational and social lifestyle opportunities that are simply unsurpassed in the area. The facility includes both indoor and outdoor pools, tennis and bocce courts, a putting green, billiards, card and craft rooms, and a state-of-the-art fitness center. A variety of clubs and other social activities are held in the facility, as well.
"We moved here in January, so we're only just beginning to avail ourselves of everything that's available," Shermer shared. "We went to a meet-and-greet for new homeowners and we met a lot of other couples from New York, including a lot of professionals. Everyone was so friendly and down to earth. And they have everything here! We'll use the gym, for sure. Don played his first poker game. If you want to learn how to play Mahjong or other games, they'll teach you. They have art classes I'd like to take, and tennis, golf, hiking, swimming. The indoor pool is fabulous. And they're very kid-friendly. They have a lot of family events and they always encourage you to bring your grandchildren." Don concurred, adding, "And they're always looking for new things to offer. The nice thing is, you can do as much or as little as you want. It's your choice."
In addition to the outstanding lifestyle amenities, K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at Great Notch offers a variety of luxurious home designs. There are floor plans that appeal to almost every type of active-adult buyer, including attractive villa, garden and courtyard homes, priced from the low-$400s (prices subject to change). Each home is thoughtfully planned, offering from 1,426 to 2,907 square feet of beautifully designed living space, including two or three bedrooms and up to three full baths. Barbara and Don purchased a garden home.
"It's a totally modern, open-concept home," Shermer explained. "When my daughter first walked in she said, 'Wow! It's so open and so inviting!' - and that's exactly what it is. One of our goals was to have a home with no stairs. We came from a four-floor townhome, so as we look toward the future, this will be better. We went from having 1,706 square feet to now having a larger home, with 1,765 square feet. We have two bedrooms, and they're on opposite ends of a hallway, so you have some separation when you have guests. We have a laundry room, not just a closet with a stackable unit, but an actual laundry room. We have bay windows in two rooms, crown molding throughout, a fireplace, a tray ceiling in the master bedroom. Everything is so open and expansive - and the views are amazing. We look out at Manhattan!"
Don didn't think having stellar views was all that important. "All I really wanted was to look outside and not see a wall," he said, laughing. "But when we looked out and saw the spectacular view from this model, we said, 'That's it. We're taking it.'"
No doubt another one of the community's finest amenities is its location. K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at Great Notch is privately tucked away and nicely removed from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Yet, at the same time, the community is within easy reach of major highways, such as Routes 3 and 46, Interstate 80, the Garden State Parkway and the New Jersey Turnpike. Nearby fine dining, lush parks and boutique shopping options also abound. There is even a bus stop right at the entrance of the community, providing direct access to Port Authority. "We are literally minutes away from a number of major roads," Shermer commented. "Manhattan is only about twenty minutes away. We have Montclair and Upper Montclair at our doorstep, which are loaded with restaurants. There is ample shopping nearby - not to mention that we have no taxes here on clothing, plus gas is less than what we were paying on Long Island!
Barbara and Don were also pleased with the experience of working with the sales team K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at Great Notch. "They were extremely accommodating and Jane could not have been better," Don commented. "Every step of the way, she would get back to us and everything moved smoothly." Barbara agreed, adding, "She had the patience of a saint, and that beautiful smile. You knew, if you had a question, she would get to the source of it. And there was no pressure, which was fabulous."
Even though they've only been living at K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at Great Notch for a few months now, Barbara Shermer and Don Jaclin are feeling right at home. "We've had our children and grandchildren here and it's not a drudge anymore for them to visit," Shermer said. "It's so easy to get to and now we see them almost weekly, instead of once a month or two." Don summed it up nicely. "We knew we were going to love it here," he reflected. "Everybody we had talked to who lived here, had all said the same thing: 'We absolutely love living here.' And now, we do, too."

Bob and I had a wonderful experience purchasing our new home at K. Hovnanian's ® Four Seasons at Silver Maple.
The buying experience has been terrific because of our sales consultant, Carolyn Disler. She provided us with all the information and guidance we could have wanted. Beyond that she also brought her humor, her smile and her patience. We always felt that she was on our side and wanted the very best for us.
We are excited to be part of the community.

JoAnn and Steve Pine had no intentions of moving. The Livingston couple had lived in their three-story home for 41 years and was content to stay there forever - or so they thought. "It was a bit serendipitous," JoAnn Pine shared, laughing. "We maintained our home in Livingston beautifully and anticipated staying there forever. Then our son and his wife took a trip and asked us to stay at their house and watch their two children for a week. They live in a single-story ranch home and at the end of that week, we weren't feeling tired! We hadn't been up and down steps for a whole week! So we said, 'Maybe single-level living is something we should consider'"
That was the first step in the Pines' two-part epiphany about moving to a new home. The second step came when they discovered K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at North Caldwell, one of north Jersey's best-selling active-adult lifestyle communities, offering single-level luxury condominium homes and a variety of social and recreational amenities, in a truly ideal location.
"We were driving down Bloomfield Avenue one day," JoAnn continued, "and we saw the sign, so we decided to pull in and take a look. We went into the Marigold model and I knew instantly that this was a place that I could call home."
When they moved in last summer, the Pines were so excited that Steve carried JoAnn over the threshold again. "That was the first time he's done that since we got married over 45 years ago" JoAnn laughed. "It's wonderful to be in your very-late 60s and to have a brand-new home; something we had never had before. You get this joyful experience of knowing that all the things in your home are things you would want and that they were built just for you. It's a wonderful thing."
The Marigold is one of three spacious home designs available at K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at North Caldwell. Like all homes in the community, it features single-level living with two bedrooms, two full baths, an open living-dining room, eat-in kitchen, family room with a fireplace, and much more. Priced from the mid-$500s (prices are subject to change), all the homes have flowing layouts with open and airy, nine-foot-high ceilings. "My husband wakes up every morning and walks to the door to look on the floor for a bill," JoAnn said, "because he's so sure that we are living in a hotel! It's just beautiful, exquisite living. We're very happy."
Homeowners can also take advantage of many social and recreational opportunities in the community clubhouse, a private facility that includes a heated outdoor pool, bocce courts, a putting green, tennis court, and a state-of-the-art fitness center. "We've met so many people," JoAnn said. "We go to the pool, which is totally delightful and very well maintained. Steve also uses the putting green and we go to different activities. The events are beautifully executed. And our neighbors are all very caring."
The community's prime location was also an important factor for the Pines. "Our two sons, our two daughters-in-law, and our four grandchildren are all within reasonable proximity," JoAnn explained. We were quite close to them in Livingston and did not want to move further away, so this is ideal. And North Caldwell is so filled with lovely things to do that we weren't aware of, even living only 15 minutes away. There are nice museums, terrific restaurants, lovely gardens."
The Pines were equally pleased with their experience buying their home at K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at North Caldwell. "The team here is wonderful," JoAnn shared. "We met with Joe, a remarkable man who we now regard as a friend. There was never a sense of urgency or the feeling that we were being pushed; just gently encouraged at all times. He is just a joy; the kind of salesperson who truly understands you and your needs. Everything about the process has been such a positive. It's one of the very best things that we've done for ourselves."
Steve & Joann Pine - New Jersey
Back in 2008, John White was one of the very first buyers to purchase a new home at Bayport on Lake's Bay, the popular West Atlantic City waterfront community from renowned builder K. Hovnanian® Homes®. The Gloucester County resident owns his own business in West Deptford and was eager to have a second home at the shore; a place to get away from it all. But when he sold that first Bayport home last October, he never suspected how much he would miss it.
"I had my first home at Bayport for about four years," White reflects. "It was great. Being in business for yourself, you need to be able to get away from it all sometimes and feel like you're in a totally different environment. You can get that downtime here at Bayport. But I made a decision to sell the home last year - and then I kind of realized how much I missed the place!"
White went back to Bayport at the beginning of this year, saw the new Quincy II model - and said to himself, "I really like this. And I really miss this!" He settled on his new home, his second Bayport purchase, at the end of this past January. "It's good to be back," he laughs. "I feel a strong attachment to this community - and I have the greatest confidence in the builder."
Bayport on Lake's Bay has that kind of effect on people. The thriving Jersey shore neighborhood offers the ideal blend of peaceful waterfront living with a recreational lifestyle, in a convenient location near the beach and the allure of Atlantic City. It's the ideal community for buyers like John White, who are looking for a second home, or weekend getaway home; but also for first-time buyers who appreciate the tremendous value. The distinctive 2- or 3-story townhomes at Bayport are priced from only $154,900 (subject to change).
When John White started looking for his first vacation home over five years ago, he was immediately drawn to Bayport. "I looked at some other places in Wildwood and some other shore towns," he shares. "But there were a few reasons why I focused on Bayport. First, I liked the fact that it was close to Atlantic City, but not right in it. It's like a really nice oasis away from all the hustle and bustle, but still close enough that I could go in anytime I wanted to enjoy all it has to offer. But also, the community itself just looked like it was going to be something special - which it has been. Being right on the bay, it's just a beautiful area. And from the beginning, I could sense that I was dealing with a builder and a team of people that really knew their business."
Bayport truly does offer homeowners an ideal location. Only two miles from the excitement of Atlantic City, with its fine dining, great nightlife and first-rate entertainment, Bayport also offers easy access to a number of nearby beaches. The community is also only minutes from the Atlantic City Expressway and the Garden State Parkway. Championship golf courses are nearby, as well as many marinas and other recreational and cultural attractions.
Homeowners have a choice of three distinct townhome floorplans, offering up to 2,000+ square feet of living space. The homes are thoughtfully designed with 2 - 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms and garages. Having purchased two different homes at Bayport, John White can unequivocally attest to the quality and design of the homes.
"This was my first experience - and now my second experience - with K. Hovnanian® and it was phenomenal," White comments. "I have never seen a builder do such quality work. This second time around, I bought the Quincy II model. I really like the layout. It's a unique kind of design and it actually feels even more comfortable than my first home at Bayport. It has worked out perfect for me." The new Quincy II model features a spacious owner's suite with double sinks in the owner's bath, a breakfast nook, an open living room/dining room area, an optional finished basement, and elegant touches such as ceramic tile bathroom flooring and other designer selections.
All homes at Bayport provide homeowners with automatic membership in The Bayport Club, a private on-site clubhouse with fitness center, multi-purpose room, library, catering kitchen and outdoor swimming pool overlooking Lake's Bay. John White has enjoyed using the pool and the clubhouse - but really enjoys being by the bay. "I love having the beach right there in front of the bay," he says. "I spend a lot of time on that beach. It's very secluded and private."
In both his experiences buying a home at Bayport, White has been extremely impressed with the level of customer service offered by K. Hovnanian® Homes®. "I've had other experiences with homebuilders that were really not good," White recalls. "The homes were cookie-cutter and they really didn't care. Not at Bayport. Both times buying here, they were extremely professional and service oriented. The sales and service management teams were so informative and helpful. They take care of everything for you and walk you through the whole process from start to finish."

Susan Schneid was no stranger to K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at Manalapan. In fact, she had visited the popular 55+ lifestyle community many times over the past few years - but not for her own sake. As a realtor in Monmouth County, working with Alan Kurlander of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Manalapan, Susan has brought a number of clients to the community. So when the time came for Susan and her husband, Mark, to downsize and move to an active-adult neighborhood, there was no question where they would settle down.
"We've been in Monmouth County for over 25 years," Schneid shares, "and since I work in the area, I really needed to stay local. In fact, we did not even look at any other active-adult communities. We knew we wanted new construction and K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at Manalapan was the place for us. Because of my work, I know most of the products that are out there in the area and I'm familiar with the product that is there. I know how great a location it is and we know a lot of people who live here. So I already knew this is where we were going to be and my husband was on board with the decision! We felt like it was the right place for our family."
A lot of homebuyers have similar feelings about K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at Manalapan. The community attracts so many 55+ buyers by offering a unique collection of home designs in a tremendous location, along with a low-maintenance lifestyle and a variety of resort-like amenities. Buyers have a choice of ten unique single-family home designs, priced from $349,950 (subject to change). The homes feature generous living areas with two or three bedrooms, two or three baths and two-car garages. The striking models include functional, flowing floor plans designed to create a simpler, more comfortable and more efficient living environment.
The Schneids purchased a Monterey model and anticipate being in their new home sometime this fall. The Monterey is a meticulously crafted home featuring 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a home office, and a spacious island kitchen with breakfast area overlooking the open living room and adjacent dining room. "It was just perfect for us," Susan says. "We really liked the design and how open it is."
K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at Manalapan offers homeowners a variety of amenities and activities. The community's grand, luxurious Clubhouse is a two-story, 29,000-square-foot facility where neighbors, families and friends gather for fun, fitness, relaxation and socializing. The Schneids are looking forward to utilizing the facility. "It's a gorgeous clubhouse," Susan comments. "The gym is magnificent and it has a lot of pools."
In fact, the Clubhouse features three pools: an indoor pool and spa, an outdoor pool, and a swimming area designed especially for grandchildren. Other amenities include tennis courts, a putting green, a cozy fireplace lounge, an outdoor poolside patio, a computer room, card and billiards rooms, games, arts and crafts and much more. Homeowners can participate in a number of clubs and activities on the community's thriving social calendar, as well. Additionally, the neighborhood is attractively distinguished by lush, scenic landscaping, with gazebos and meandering walking trails available for homeowners to enjoy.
Location is another amenity of this gated community. With easy access to Jersey Shore beaches and New York City, K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at Manalapan offers a country feel with true suburban conveniences, including plenty of nearby shopping, golf, recreation, great dining and more. In fact, Manalapan Township has been named one of Money Magazine's "hottest towns."
As a realtor, Susan Schneid is familiar with all aspects of the homebuying experience - and her process buying a new home at K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons at Manalapan was noteworthy. "The experience was fabulous,"Susan says. "Everything has been easy. They walked us through everything and we've had no problems at all. In fact, every client I've worked with who moved in here has had excellent experiences. I don't know anybody who's not happy with it. I've known the people here for a while and I love everybody. Cathy in the sales office is unbelievable! And the whole sales team really cares about you. They are fabulous."

As soon as I found out that our family would be moving from Japan to Beaufort, SC I flew out to do some house hunting. I had less than a week to look at lots and some move-in ready homes.
The K. Hovnanian team was the most helpful out of other building teams and open to exactly what we were looking for in a home. We love our lot and new home!
Serrano Family - South Carolina
I believe it has been five years now since we have moved into our house. We are so pleased with our home and the overall quality of our purchase. Referring K. Hovnanian Homes as a potential builder is something we have now done twice and would certainly do again. The comment I often make to friends and family about my home is the items which I do not like about my home are the items which I did myself. In some cases a buyer needs to save a few dollars and doing it yourself compared to the professionals can make a big difference.
We built into a fantastic school district so our kids can benefit from South Fayette School District. The area has very high school taxes to pay and home assessment values are challenged on many levels. I have been reassessed twice by Allegheny County and both times my assessment increased by over $100,000! This speaks volumes to the perceived quality and construction of my home. With the school taxes I often tell my wife when the kids move on from high school we need to build again outside of Allegheny County. The first home builder for us will be K. Hovnanian Homes for sure.
One of the best aspects of buying with K. Hovnanian Homes was the sales office in Washington, PA. They were patient with us and helped work towards a budget. Helping us make decisions for our new home and giving us some opportunities to save money on non -turn key items. We were able to purchase a great home for an even better price.
Thanks to K. Hovnanian Homes for a great home.
Brandon & Wendy Orosz - Pennsylvania
I have purchased 7 homes and the service that was provided from K. Hovnanian and Angela Moseley was among the best from the beginning of the process to the closing day. They also have a 24 hour Warranty Line for any issues that need to be followed up on; and they truly do!!
I have never been treated so amazing from the plant delivered to my home after signing the contract, to the digital photos of my home building process, to a survival bag of cleaning products to support the move into my home, and pizza on the day the movers delivered our furniture!!! This builder does it right from start to finish.
Angela Moseley was AMAZING with her patience of explaining the process, introducing me to a Mortgage Lender that helped to get us into the home early with a VA Loan, to just being professional and caring throughout the process.
I highly recommend this builder to anyone looking to build a new home!
Dottie Harris - Arizona
While our new K. Hovnanian home was being built, our family was still living in CA. With that said, the team on site at Cielo Noche - Julie, Margie, as well as the head of our construction Mark, were so wonderful. They kept us posted, sent photos and always made themselves available when we had concerns or questions regarding interior details etc.
I honestly can say that we loved our home buying experience and that is largely due to the team we worked with. We love our neighborhood and neighbors and are really enjoying the quality, design features and location of our new K. Hovnanian home!!
Thank you for making our first new home purchase experience full of really good memories!
DeAnn and Rick Hollis - Arizona
Working with K. Hovnanian Homes has been a real pleasure. The process of building a new home can be quite intimidating and stressful.
Our sales representative, Angela Moseley was simply amazing as she made the process both fun and exciting. Angela was there with us every step of the way providing encouragement, advice, expertise and security. We always felt we had a partner in the process. I would highly recommend K Hovnanian to anyone looking to build a new home. The entire K Hovnanian team has provided outstanding customer service at a fair price while all the time ensuring the utmost in quality control.
Kevin & Eneyda Bryant - Arizona
We chose to use K. Hovnanian to purchase a home in Rancho Cabrillo because after doing intensive research found that they have the best quality for the right price.
We walked into the office to just "look" and everything was so fitting and the sales consultant was so nice, welcoming and knowledgeable that we walked out with contingent paperwork signed. We were so shocked that this could actually happen for us but from that day on everything moved at the right pace. Our experience overall was awesome and we are now the proud owners of our dream home. We would highly recommend K. Hovnanian to all our family and friends!
Maria Beans - Arizona
Our family has had a wonderful and smooth home buying experience with K. Hovnanian.
We are delighted with our new home and have thoroughly enjoyed working with all that we have had contact with that have helped make this a fun and exciting time for us.
We would also like to express our gratitude for the sales office ladies who are always so cheerful and eager to help in anyway for us, and have been efficient and effective and willing to go beyond what is required to make sure we are fully satisfied and happy with all decisions made.
They have given us confidence in their ability and have provided us with a beautiful home.
Thank you so much!
The Arnold Family - Arizona
My wife, Kary and I started our search to retire to Arizona in the summer of 2013. After looking at many resale's, in every major city within ten miles of Interstate Highway 10, we finally decided on buying a brand new home in Goodyear. We met Angela and her team in February, 2014 at the K. Hovnanian home site. The section we loved was Artisan at Palm Valley. Not only was the house what we wanted for our new home but the direction and inspiration that Angela provided us made our final choice the right one.
During the months since the project started in March of 2014, Angela provided us with weekly verbal or e-mail updates on how our home was progressing. She sent us pictures. It gave us the feeling that she had a personal interest in making sure we had a great feeling about our decision. It was as if we had a family member on the building site, making sure everything was done as we asked.
While Kary and I could go on and on, we can't say enough good things about Angela and the K. Hovnanian builders. We love our new home and the community that is springing up around us. In all of the new builders that we looked at, Angela and her team gave us the most attention from the first time we met them, through the choosing of our upgrades and has continued to help us after being in our home for almost four months.
Ron & Kary Hill - Arizona
My husband and I have been in our new house for a year now. We absolutely love our home. We picked out the floor plan we thought was the best fit for us and it is actually even BETTER than we imagined it would be.
The actual process of building the house went exactly as planned. I loved watching all my Design Center choices come together and look even better than I thought they would. We were in our new home within 10 days of the projected date that was given to us in the beginning.
Our new, bigger home with its open floor plan made entertaining during the holidays a breeze.
Even with a few glitches on MY part and the mortgage lender, Brighton was patient throughout the process. We would encourage anyone to build with Brighton Homes. I still believe they are building a quality product at extremely reasonable prices.
S. & D. Sjostrom - Texas
The last time we bought a new home was 20 years ago so we were a little rusty, but the team at Mustang Park made the entire process easy and enjoyable.
We love our new K. Hovnanian home! From Angelo and Nicole at the sales office, to Bryan our construction manager, we were kept informed every step of the way and we are thrilled with our new energy efficient home. We tell all of our friends what a great experience we had and how perfect our floor plan and the neighborhood are for us. Thank you, Khov for building the perfect place for our "empty nest".
Jim & Jane Christensen - Texas
First, I feel that it is important to follow up with you after our discussions of how my journey started with K Hovnanian. I'm a firm believer that it's not "What" you do; but "How" you do it and the people create the "How" of your company. There are many home builders out there but the biggest differentiation for you at K Hovnanian is your people. Your immediate attention to my concerns showed your dedication to doing the best you can at your level; for that I thank you!
Second, I want to thank you for the time you took on a Saturday to come meet with us to go over the blueprints. It was greatly appreciated and your level of accountability was above and beyond any expectation.
Third, you introduced us to one of the most professional, caring and informative individuals, Susan. She has been a breath of fresh air as we continue on our road of closing on our new home. As I mentioned to you on our phone conversation, it's about the experience and Susan has taken an ordinary happy customer and turned them into a Raving Fan. I wish all of my employees were like her.
Also, I want to send a special "thanks" to Crystal, I'm pretty sure she was the little birdie that shared my concerns with you. It takes a lot of "Courage" to stand up and raise a hand like she did; she is truly vested in creating the best possible experience for your customers.
It is because of you and your team that the Priester's are definitely yes! The core of your culture is what brought us to K Hovnanian from the start.
Thanks for everything!
Terrell Priester - Ohio
I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much Mike and I appreciated how much you, Chuck, and Ashley have done to ensure our stay here are 20908 Rowan Knight Drive has truly been like a dream come true. Your pleasant demeanor and friendly smile still warms my heart every time I walk through the door of the model home. I cannot tell you how happy we are with our new home!
We waited for many years to be able to purchase our dream home and you, along with the K Hov family, have assisted in every way possible. Not every homeowner can have this testimony. I am still in disbelief that you have meetings with all your new homeowners to demonstrate how to properly utilize every extremity of the home as it was being built from the ground up. When there was a question that we had, it was always answered in complete detail. You and Jane, have especially been a blessing in "getting down to the nitty-gritty" with the correct monies owed to Zippy Shell.
We have mentioned K Hov Homes to several of the members at our church and on our jobs who are or will soon be house hunting. Thank you so much for an amazing encounter that will always be remembered! We are now a part of the K Hov family.

From the purchase, through construction, and then through close, the KHOV group at Terra Lago K. Hovnanian's® Four Seasons could not have been better.
I couldn't be happier with the quality of construction and the feel of my new home. The Lodge is beyond beautiful and a fun place to meet and participate in events with other homeowners.
Dorothy Klein - California
We had been looking in the Coachella Valley for 2 years for a place to retire. We found many communities but they were not 55+, and they did not fill our needs. When K. Hovnanian announced its new development in Indio we were excited that it satisfied most of what we were looking for.
KHOV has built many communities around the country and we felt they knew how to build a 55+ community. We were right, and have enjoyed our new lovely home, community, neighbors and surroundings since we moved in. I have told and showed our development to friends, and they all had a very positive response to where we live. Everyone we have worked with at KHOV has been very helpful and considerate.
Larry & Michele Kerner - California
Thank you Wendy and Allison. David and I felt so blessed to have you at K. Hovnanian to represent us during the purchase of our new home. We started the process in May of 2014, your knowledge and professionalism made the process easy, you never wavered in your demeanor throughout the process.
You displayed a wonderful God kind of spirit, even when David and I were indecisive, going back and forth about the house we wanted. You displayed character, never changing, even when the dates of closing got you pushed back, you stayed positive.
The Design Center was very helpful in assisting us in creating the right design for our floor plan.
My husband and I chose K. Hovnanian Homes and the community for the inclusive resort style living, beautiful landscaping and friendly neighbors. There were other builders to choose from, but we fell in love with K. Hovnanian.
I have been in customer service as a Real Estate Agent for over 21 years and I pride myself on great customer service. Great customer service is what you both have shown...you are the front line! We thank you with all our hearts.
In closing, Grace, Tiffany, and Jake did an awesome job...great team work! I would highly recommend K. Hovnanian Homes to family and friends.
David & Davinda Brisco - California
We love our new home by K. Hovnanian in Terra Lago. Khov is focused on customer satisfaction and they really deliver.
Having never bought a new home before, we weren't exactly sure what to expect and were somewhat fearful of the process.
The sales office was friendly, knowledgeable, informative and extremely helpful in getting us through the process. The construction supervisor has addressed every issue and resolved it with a smile, no matter how large or small. The Lodge is fantastic and the social events have allowed us to meet many neighbors and make new friends with ease.
The views up here are some of the BEST in the Coachella Valley. This is a GREAT place to live!
Don & Andrea Phillips - California
As recent home buyers at the Terra Lago Hovnanian® Four Seasons Resort, we are simply delighted from all points of view.
The setting, the quality of the homes, the common facilities of the Lodge, the friendliness and attentiveness of all staff people, whether in sales or construction; everything about our experience has been more than satisfactory.
S & C Kaufmann - California
Words cannot express how we feel about our home buying experience with K. Hovnanian. The team at the Belcara community in San Tan Valley is absolutely phenomenal!
Cathy in sales literally broke her foot for us. She came in on her day off when we wanted to begin a contract on our new home; what should have been a relaxing day off for her ended up with a tumble in the parking lot, which resulted in several broken metatarsals. From that moment on we knew our experience was going to be a special one...and it certainly was. Cathy always took care of our needs and requests when we showed up at the community and treated our children with so much kindness. So much kindness in fact that when our home was being constructed and we would stop by to see the progress, our children also wanted to stop by the office to see her. Matthew in sales also helped us out tremendously when Cathy was not available with any assistance and information we needed. Cathy and Matthew always made sure we knew who we needed to speak with or where we needed to go to handle our responsibilities.
Enough cannot be said about Rusty in construction. His weekly progress reports on the construction of our home kept us informed on what had been completed for the week and what would be accomplished in upcoming weeks of construction. Any questions, requests or concerns we had during construction were always handled quickly and professionally. Rusty even took the time to assist us with several issues regarding our previous home that we had to sell in order to close our home with K. Hovnanian in Belcara.
When our family first met Cathy and Rusty in Belcara, they told us that this community was like a family. We figured those were just words to try and sell us a home; however, from the very beginning, and as the weeks went on, we realized those were not just empty words. We really have felt like family and we couldn't be happier with our new K. Hovnanian home and community.
The Bernal Family - Arizona
We had a wonderful experience with K-Hovnanian Homes. We recently moved from Parker, Colorado, and decided a new home in San Tan Valley, Arizona, was the best decision for us. We love our new home at Regency at Belcara Estates; the building process was smooth and enjoyable.
Rusty, K-Hov Construction Manager, kept us informed of the progress on our home. The Design Center was well-organized and supportive in selecting our choices and staying on budget. The construction schedule was on-time for each phase of the process. We received a weekly call from Rusty and Cathy our Sales Consultant, to keep us updated.
The K-Hov Sales Office staff was helpful even after we closed on our home. We used the K-Hov Mortgage Company, finding them to be prompt and professional. We're satisfied in our new home and love the neighborhood. We look forward to making new family memories here.
Cheryl & Rick Lewis - Arizona
Since 1970 we have been through the new home building process for six properties in New Jersey, Illinois and Texas. Given that experience, it has become obvious to us that KHOV is a premier builder. In the search process, which is looking for a home, the sales team, Tina and Mary, are well above the norm expected in regard to courtesy, personality, depth of knowledge and turning your ideas into reality. There is a true sense of of timeliness, accuracy and commitment to meet your day of closing.
Jerry, the builder overseeing construction, has proven to be very experienced in his trade. The building site is kept extremely organized and flows only as a professional can accomplish. He is a stickler for detail and quality of product. Jerry is very easy to work with given his personable nature and expertise.
KHOV corporation is successful mainly by being represented by the winning team above. For this we are grateful.

Katrina made our home building process easy, she was always there to answer our questions.
Both during the build process and after we moved into our new home. We knew we could always count on her to help us at every step of the process. She is a joy to work, and always had a smile for everyone. If we ever build another home I would go out of my way to have Katrina be the sales person again.

My wife and I would like to express how pleased we are with the KHOV experience. Everything from the knowledgeable sales, the construction process, and the final product was everything we expected and beyond. Even after being in our new home, the service staff is prompt and willing to take the extra step in order to fix any issues or answer any concerns.
Our Sales Consultant, Matt Harmening, was excellent in recommending some upgrades that we would have never even considered. He worked side by side with us until we had the perfect home picked out. He also knew that we were on a budget while deciding on what upgrades we could do and which we had to skip. I cannot say enough about the sales process and would definitely buy another home from Mr. Harmening if to do it all over again.
The construction phase of the home was a pleasant experience also. The subcontractor's staff were all polite and would explain the process to my wife and I if any questions arose. Any concerns that we brought to the attention of KHOV were addressed as well. I also felt that from the start of construction to the move in date everything was done in a timely manner in which we were pleased.
Now that we have been in our home for a few months, we are still very happy with our choice in KHOV and the McArthur plan. Any issues that we've had have been taken care of right away by the service team. The gentleman that arrives for the service calls is very polite and helpful.
Thank you for your professionalism, timeliness, and especially your concern for quality while building on my lot.

We researched 55+ communities throughout Southern California, Seattle, Nevada, and St. George, Utah. We chose Four Seasons at Beaumont for the beautiful community, well thought out floor plans, recreational facilities, and its incredible value. We purchased our new home in May 2014 and closed escrow in October 2014. Wendy Margrave, our customer sales representative did an outstanding job at guiding us through the entire process.
As a former builder of custom homes in Orange County I saw the outstanding value and quality throughout. There are 15 floor plans offered to fill almost every purchasers requirements. Our experience as a homeowner and resident has far exceeded our expectations. The after sale customer service headed by Ismael Perdomo, has been exceptional in efficiency and follow through. We have also been pleasantly surprised by our monthly utility costs reflecting our homes superior insulation and energy efficiency.
There are two large recreation centers (with a third on the way) providing activities for every interest group. The beauty of the surroundings and the view of the nearby mountains serve as a daily reminder that this was the right retirement community for us. Wendy Margrave and Allison Erwin do an exemplary job of guiding purchasers through the home buying process.
As former Orange County residents relocating to Four Seasons at Beaumont has allowed us to remain close enough to stay connected to our former area and friends.
K. Hovnanian Homes met our every expectation and has performed every step of the way. We invite anyone considering a 55+ community to visit the beautiful Four Seasons at Beaumont project.
