Home is a place where we can be our truest selves, and create a space that's uniquely ours. It's where we dream, play, learn, and share our lives with the ones we love. For many of us, our home is where we spend the majority of the 24 hours in our day, and the way its spaces are designed has a fundamental impact on how we feel. That's why at K. Hovnanian, we believe it's essential for your home to reflect who you are, and how you live —from our range of open layouts that bring people together, to our polished Looks interiors that create an atmosphere where you can thrive and grow.

At K. Hovnanian, everything we do comes back to family. When our founder, Kevork Hovnanian, came to the US over 65 years ago and set out to start a company, he began with one uncompromising principle – that every buyer has the right to a well-built, beautiful home. Guided by the leadership of Kevork’s son Ara (joined 1979) and grandson Alexander (joined 2008), we’ve built on that foundational principle ever since, as we combine the personal touch of a family business with the transparency of a publicly traded corporation, and balance pride for our past with excitement for the future. Though we were saddened by Kevork’s passing in 2009, we continue to honor his legacy – as we build homes to fit the needs of you and your loved ones, and welcome new homeowners to the K. Hovnanian family

Everywhere we build, we strive to be conscious of our impact on the community and the planet. That's why we continually seek features that optimize the energy efficiency of our homes, while also improving their performance, maintenance costs, comfort, and durability. It's a win-win for customers, and our environment. In 2023, we were proud to receive two United States Department of Energy (DOE) Housing Innovation Awards, and we're committed to building on our progress, as we look ahead to the future and potential of sustainable construction.

As a company built on dedication and purpose, we have a long and deeply rooted history of corporate responsibility. In fiscal year 2023, we delivered over 1,000 homes through our urban renewal and development projects, planted or preserved over 50,000 trees, and slashed waste by streamlining our framing practices and national plan portfolio. We're committed to fostering a inclusive, diverse workforce, and our Board of Directors embrace the highest standards of integrity, accountability, and ethics —the same values we uphold every day, when we build homes that are impeccable down to the smallest detail.

Giving back is a core value of both the Hovnanian family and K. Hovnanian Homes, as we strive to make a positive impact in all of our communities. We're proud to support a range of causes, including education, disaster relief, food banks, and the K. Hovnanian Children's Hospital, which was renamed from the Jersey Shore University Medical Center in 2006 after Kevork Hovnanian made the largest donation the hospital had ever received. We've also partnered with organizations like Habitat for Humanity and HomeAid Orlando to build homes for families in need.

We believe that buying a new-construction home shouldn't be complicated, costly, or confusing. From the day you first start browsing homes to the day you move in, our talented team of architects, designers, sales consultants, community construction managers, financing experts, and more ensure that you're taken care of every step of the way. Starting your next chapter in the perfect home has never been easier.
