It’s also the original home of K. Hovnanian Homes, the builder behind more than 80 active adult communities known for thoughtful design, a strong amenity lineup, and consistent construction quality. The approach is straightforward: a fair price, a well-built home, and a clear focus on what 55+ buyers want.

A Family Business With Deep Roots
In 1959, Kevork Hovnanian arrived in the United States from Armenia with his three younger brothers. They bought a modest trailer in Toms River and ran their business from it, building affordable homes for young families. It’s a genuine American success story built on hard work.
There’s a story that Kevork cleared brush for the company’s first 20-home subdivision himself, wearing his three-piece suit. The brothers put their name on their communities, a signal of how seriously they took their reputation and their customers.
Over time, the focus shifted. The Four Seasons brand of active adult communities is what put K. Hovnanian on the map. These neighborhoods now span several states and draw retirees and active adults from across the country.
Amenities Built Around Daily Life
The clubhouse anchors most K. Hovnanian communities, and it’s where the day-to-day social life happens. Many run into five-digit square footage and include features that go beyond the standard fitness center and pool, such as salons and movie theaters, which means residents have fewer reasons to leave. The grounds are landscaped with an eye toward time spent outside, and the builder chooses locations with that outdoor space in mind.
Outdoor amenities vary by community but often include tennis and pickleball courts, putting greens, and basketball courts. The specifics differ from one neighborhood to the next, so it’s worth checking what each location offers.
A Social Calendar You Can Actually Use
These communities are built with the social side of life in mind, and each has its own active scene. Interest clubs meet regularly, including card games, mahjong, and book clubs, making it easy to find people who share your interests with little effort. For something more active, you’ll often find line dancing, theater groups, and fitness classes. When you’re comparing communities, look at the actual club roster to make sure your interests are covered. And if the club you want doesn’t exist yet, you can usually find enough like-minded neighbors to start one.
Some communities have on-site lifestyle directors whose job is to help you find what you’re looking for and make the most of the calendar. The result is a home of your own to retreat to or open up for entertaining, paired with a steady schedule of activities, from putting and tennis to arts and crafts and holiday gatherings.
Focus and offerings shift from community to community, and so does location. Fortunately, K. Hovnanian builds in many states, including popular retirement markets in California, Arizona, and Florida. New Jersey remains a center for the brand, particularly along the Jersey Shore, with nearly 30 branded communities in the state and the builder’s largest community near Atlantic City.
Floor Plans and Options
K. Hovnanian communities vary, but most are gated and made up of single-family homes. If you’re looking for a condo or a flat, these communities are less likely to be a good fit. What they offer instead is a full-sized home paired with low-maintenance living. Most homes have two bedrooms, with three-bedroom options available, which helps when the grandchildren visit regularly.
The homes are designed with active adults in mind. A typical plan might include a great room with an open kitchen for entertaining, an owner’s suite with a spa bath, a guest room beside a second bathroom, a home office, and a two-car garage. The single-level layouts mean no stairs to navigate, which is part of the appeal for buyers who want a home that stays comfortable over time.
Cost depends on the community and the floor plan. Where development is ongoing, you may be able to buy a new build and customize it. These homes are not inexpensive, but they’re aimed at buyers who want to invest in a well-appointed, low-maintenance home. Because K. Hovnanian keeps building new communities, it’s worth keeping an eye on your area if you’re not in a rush to move.
A Builder Worth Considering
We could talk all day about the communities that have come to define K. Hovnanian as a premier builder and Four Seasons as a luxury brand. Their emphasis on resort-like amenities is impressive, but it is their reputation for quality construction and design that truly cements their position as one of the most respected builders in the business.
If you are looking to move into a 55+ community, consider a Four Seasons community built by K. Hovnanian. You can enjoy a luxury, active lifestyle in a home that will support your needs as you age and become less active.
