text: In 1959 our Founder, Kevork S. Hovnanian (pictured with his son, Ara), came to a new land with a dream: to build a home for his family, and for all families seeking a better life. Although we were greatly saddened by his passing in 2009, his dream inspires us every day, and his integrity and legacy continue to guide us as we come together to build homes and communities for each and every family who puts their trust in us. It is a privilege to share our story with you.

  A Message From Our CEO
  I'm Ara Hovnanian, CEO and Chairman of Hovnanian Enterprises®, Inc. Thank you for your interest in our new homes and communities. I am delighted you are considering K. Hovnanian® Homes® to be the builder of your new home. Having grown up in the business my father started back in 1959, I spent my summers in our communities, sweeping out houses and learning about construction, land development and other fascinating aspects of the business. I guess you could say that homebuilding is "in my blood." The strength of a home is its foundation. The strength of our Company is our people. It would be my Company's honor to build your new home for you.
