Liked the layout, different than most. For this priced home, more options would have been nice. Also, the cost of this home should NOT come with plastic toilet seats.

Happy but losing patience!

  • Kathryn S.

We had a wonderful experience except for the fact that we have been waiting since April 9 (move in date) for a yard to be put in. Our driveway was done in early June and we were told the yard would be about a week later. It is now July 9 and still no yard, just dirt, rocks and construction debris. Brand new builds on the road behind us, with no one living there have had their yards installed already. I understand that they need to sell those homes but they already have our money for our house. This should have been completed much sooner.

K. Hovnanian® Homes responded:

Due to the long escrow the home completion date keep getting pushed back.

K. Hovnanian® Homes responded:
Hi, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand how frustrating it can be when a home completion date is delayed, especially after planning for an anticipated closing. While the construction delay was the result of the Southern California Edison energization timeline affecting multiple homes in the Silverwood community, we recognize the impact it had on your overall homebuying experience. Throughout the process, our team worked to provide updates as new information became available and to complete and close homes as quickly as possible once energization was complete.

My experience with ***** has been incredibly frustrating from start to finish. Throughout the process, I felt that ***** handled is*****s backwards, communication was unprofessional, and my concerns were often dismissed rather than addressed. There was dried mudding compound left on my kitchen countertop that was never cleaned up, and when I raised concerns about what appeared to be urine in one of my toilets, I felt my concerns were dismissed as simply a water backup, despite my family's construction experience. The most upsetting part of this experience was the day of my grandmother's ...

We purchased the lot/house prior to construction so we were able to watch the house being built. We were impressed with the craftsmanship and the attention to detail that KHOV demonstrated. We closed on the property when they told us we would and they have been very responsive with any issues that we had ever since we moved in. Great experience so far !!

It’s sometimes a bit daunting to trust an organization that is vertically integrated. You want to explore options for mortgages, bring your own realtor, choose your own brokerage but, trust me when I say you can trust KHov. Their staff top to bottom were all professional and helpful. Their mortgage rates from what I could tell when I was exploring options were market competitive. And the closing process was smooth. Great team and great overall buying experience!

Did not meet expectations

We chose this community over a nearby community because of the builder's reputation. We were misled on many occasions. Do not even consider using the builder's mortgage company. The mortgage company was unprofessional and their rates were not competitive. The mortgage company was not at all transparent on the rates until the end of the process. 3 months after moving in we are still waiting on getting the grass planted in the back yard. Some of the grass that was planted is already dying off. The workmanship was terrible. I've seen better painters in the high school shop class. ...

Home owners have reached out to the builder to ask about several issues with the HOA, we have pointed out that the bylaws state the first annual HOA meeting was supposed to be held January 31 2026 but they refuse to hold a meeting. As it stands homeowners are paying their annual dues with nothing to show for it, but the builder sure is happy to pocket that money. If you decide to walk into a sales office walk out, if you decide to stay ask them for the bylaws that will govern the half million dollar home you’re about to purchase then ask your self “if KHOV won’t honor these bylaws what ...
