VILLA ONE Plan

After moving from Chicago to Los Angeles in the 1940s, Gregg Kent began working as a building inspector for the City of L.A. By 1947, he and his wife Peggy founded the Gregg P. Kent Corporation, quickly earning a reputation for quality homebuilding in the Greater San Gabriel Valley. This marked the start of a proud, family-led legacy in the industry. In 1978, Gregg’s children, Mike Kent and Kitty Kent Garvey, along with their spouses, Diane and Mike, established CrestWood Communities. They carried forward the family’s dedication to building outstanding, affordable homes, especially in the growing Inland Empire. Guided by integrity, trust, and family values, CrestWood thrived on its commitment to excellence. The next generation—Terry Kent, Daniel Garvey, and Patrick Garvey—joined the company beginning in 1985. Having grown up immersed in the business, they brought fresh ideas while honoring their roots. Their leadership strengthened CrestWood’s reputation for crafting thoughtfully designed homes in vibrant, well-planned communities. Now entering its fourth generation, CrestWood Communities continues to embrace its role in shaping not just homes, but neighborhoods. Whether through sustainable building practices or philanthropic work, the team is dedicated to making a positive impact. With transparency, craftsmanship, and care at the heart of every project, the legacy that began over 75 years ago continues to grow—one family, one home, and one community at a time.
