K. Hovnanian® Homes Reviews

The whole experience of shopping and finaly buying was smooth for me.I fell in love with the design, uniqueness and quality of the materials used for the house. I would say customized,and classic.The building team were professional, attentive and delivered to detail.I would surely recommend and buy again from khovanian.

Financing was the worst experience. This is my 3rd home and the in house financing was atrocious

Yet to hear anything other than issues and poor build quality from all the residents I have met till now.

Our overall experience with our new home has been great. The layout and design met most of our expectations, and we’re happy to finally be settled in. That said, there are a few areas where we feel things could have been better. The interior paint quality was below what we expected for a new home, and we ended up having the entire house repainted with a higher-grade product. Additionally, we wish we had been given more detailed information about our lot before purchase. It was marketed as a “Premium Lot,” but after construction, the grading of the land changed and the view turned out to be less appealing than we had anticipated. Overall, we love our new home but hope future buyers are provided with more transparency regarding lot grading and material quality. Also, in todays world with technology all house should be equipped with smart locks and not keys. We also would of like a more options for smart technology. ... More

We had a very positive experience with buying a Hovnanian home. Their sales rep was extremely courteous and helpful. They were quite flexible in accommodating our needs but within their standard offering. The house was ready on the due date and the closing was uneventful. All in all, this was a great buying experience.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Our experience with K. Hovnanian has been nothing short of a nightmare, and I want to warn anyone considering them. As someone experienced in real estate and construction, I have never dealt with such a mess. First off, the problems started before we even signed the contract. We were misled about lot availability. They told us the lot we wanted was not available, only for us to find out later that it was and they were just holding it for someone else they knew. That was the first red flag. Then right after we signed, they pushed our delivery date from April 31st to the end of June, literally the day after we signed. And then they pushed it again to the end of July. They did not break ground for four months and blamed the county, but we found out it was just them dragging their feet and changing their building schedule. It only got worse from there. They completely messed up our home choices. We chose a certain elevation, they gave us the wrong one. We picked paint colors, they painted something entirely different. They put in the wrong tiles in the bathroom. The list goes on and on. We were lied to repeatedly. For example, they told us we could only have either a walkout or an egress window in the basement, and then we found out everyone else got both. Now we have to pay extra to fix that. At the pre-closing walkthrough, we flagged a ton of issues and they swore they would fix them. By the final walkthrough, only a few were done and they promised again they would handle the rest after closing. Of course, once we closed, they turned around and said it was out of their scope. The quality is just atrocious, things even a beginner would not mess up. We had wavy drywall, chipped stairs, electrical issues, and the toilet paper holders were falling off the walls. Every single step of the way, it was one lie or mistake after another. In short, this was an extremely horrible and deceitful experience from start to finish. Spare yourself the headache and avoid K. Hovnanian entirely. It was a huge mistake to trust them. ... More

The sales team fell short of their due diligence. I was long distance and was told many things that I was unable to verify the time. Parking is one of them. Sales was confident that I would be able to park my car in the garage. I cannot. Acoustics between floors is slipshod. Cabinetry and doors are not held together very well. Spacing between apartment buildings to make ease of parking in the garage is very minimal.

Builder could do better job. 1. DId not check that all new appliances were in working condition before closing. 2. Closing aggressively, but not following the safety of homeowners for their safety in active construction zone. Especially when moving big vehicles. 3. Not following local, state, or federal safety rules in active construction zone. 4. Did not pay the land taxes were due at the closing time, it is my headache now, I paid to avoid accruing the interest, but waiting to get reimbursed builder share. No resolution yet? 4. Other bills were also not paid, spending lot of time to resolve the issues. 5. HOA management is not user friendly (forget the welcoming the homeowners, they do not help when they need help). Created problems, one open pending issue! Working on it... 6. Life is busy, if these problems were addressed properly before closing, the homeowners will have fewer problems once they move in. Make homeowners life easy as is they have lot of issues to deal during moving? 7. The community center is not ready yet, lot of homeowners already accupied. 8. The good part is no one knows who is on the board/HOA. This information should be public knowledge as they are taking most critical decisions on behalf of association. I JUST HIGHLIGHTED FEW HERE. ... More

I am satisfied with the sales person Peter, who was straightforward and was direct which made our home buying experience smooth. However on the contrary, the quality and workmanship of house is horrible. Cost cutting in all corners. Entrance sign is the pride for the builder and owners of the community. The community entrance sign will speak for itself which is the sample for how all the building were constructed. We understand everything can’t be perfect but majority can’t go wrong. Just to name a few, Carpets were soiled and were not properly trimmed to corners of the wall. Vinyl floors are uneven (you can clearly feel the bump while you walk on the floor) and makes noise within 2 months of moving in..HOA is much more horrible. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. ... More

These homes initially attracted me because of the luxury vibe at a cheaper price tag. However, now I see that you truly get what you pay for. The workmanship is shotty and the products/fixtures are very cheap. These are things you don’t notice initially. They put these houses up so fast and the final work product is ridiculous.

We were lie to from the beginning starting with Ronda and George. We have still not gotten things fixed that were noted at inspection and were promised to be fixed. The house wes poorly constructed and no inspection was done.

From the pre-drywall walk-thru to the final Gold Key delivery, Mike was there to ensure all of my questions were answered. He took extra steps to make sure I was happy with my home, even going so far as to make adjustments to the length of the chandelier to make sure I was comfortable with the height!

We recently had our new home built by K. Hovnanian in the Hazel Run Glen community and we were very satisfied with our overall experience. The quality of construction and attention to detail are impressive. The finished product has a beautiful, upscale look that truly exceeded our expectations. The production team was professional, responsive, and committed to ensuring we were happy with every step of the process. We would highly recommend K. Hovnanian to anyone looking for a builder that delivers both quality and style.

So far things are going well. Respond to complaints and issues are poor from builders and the office as a whole.

My home buying experience was okay overall. The sales agent was wonderful and really helped make the process smoother. My biggest regret is not getting a home inspector before purchasing. I felt rushed during my walkthrough and was told that any issues would be taken care of even after closing. Honestly, it’s been a bit of a challenge. They have addressed many of my concerns, but quite a few things have been put on the back burner because they say the home needs time to settle. Unfortunately, many of these issues were already there before I moved in, but I didn’t notice them at the time.

My new home experience with K. Hovnanian has been positive for the most part. One notable item was the design process, I really loved the floor plans that were available and the Looks Interior choices, it made designing my home effortless. The location of Monarch Glen to the Georgetown-Lewes Trail, being tucked away from major roads, and close to beaches is what drew me here. The only downside is the mobile trailer park and some of the occupants on the other side of me. I wish I had known that there were issues over there as I would have selected a different lot. The overall workmanship and materials has been acceptable for the most part. After moving in I have noticed areas that could have been done better but what needed fixing inside the house has been addressed and fixed quickly. The sod is a different story. The yard has been dug up so much that it has destroyed my front yard. I was initially told that it would be replaced but that has not happened. I have since took matters into my own hands in an attempt to make the front look more appealing but there are still areas that need attention. Overall, I do love my home and the growing community is great! ... More

THE CONSTRUCTION SUPERINTENDENT IS SUCH A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH AND ANY PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD HE HAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN CARE OF IT…. I ONLY HAD 3 SMALL PROBLEMS.. CARLOS R IS GREAT TO WORK WITH AND SO PROFESSIONAL… LOVING MY LIFE AND NEW HOME… JEROME

The opportunity of purchasing a new home from K. Hovnanian Homes is the best decision that I have ever made. It has been since July 21st and I am as happier today as I was the first day that I received my keys. I feel that I made a great choice. This community is a quiet and peaceful environment . The homes are beautiful outside and inside. The management is great!

I do wish the home included trim around windows and/or options for crown molding so it felt more like a home than an apartment, that was the one disappointment/shortfall, but I do like everything else.

Great customer service to me.

Still pooling in my back yard. They came out on the 9th and did the drains. But now on the 22nd, I silk have no grass. No landscaping efforts have been made. Wait till the township, county, and attorney general get involved. I think I have to sue you guys now.

I’ve lived in my house a few months now and it’s been great. Good quality build. Nice finishes. The sales and construction teams have also been great at responding to any minor issues. I’m overall very happy with the purchase.

Khov wanted their customers to be happy and in my opinion, did everything to Ensure a smooth buying experience!!!

Great beautiful home built by K. Hovnanian. Great price, great values and great home. I recommend this home builder to anyone looking to buy a new home.

In our 41 years of marriage we’ve had 6 homes. Our experience with Hovnanian was by far the most pleasant with builders we have worked with. Our sales person, Stephanie and construction supervisor, Robert were exceptional. They were always available to address our needs and kept us informed weekly during the entire purchase and construction process. The Hovnanian team is without a doubt, the best!
