This is about K Hovnanian Four Seasons Kent Island Maryland. First, kudos to them for building the clubhouse and recreation amenities on the best part of this property. They could have easily put this in the center of the community, and put expensive condo units there. That makes this HUGE community of 1300 units very attractive, despite how densely packed it is. However, we ultimately did not buy here. Two major reasons. First is lot premiums. All the lots have premiums, even the ones backing to roads or to each other with nothing special about them. The prime lots, backing to trees are $150K AND UP. Not only is this 3x the lot premiums for any other comparable lots in any other 55+ community within 200 miles of this community, but just ABSURD for 50' x 120'. With house prices starting at over $600k BEFORE ANY UPGRADES (and you WILL want some) the lot prices make the houses simply ridiculously expensive for a RETIREMENT community. Next is the contract. You agree not to sue, even a class action suit (which might be warranted given other comments I've seen on other reviews and Better Business Bureau sites) They reserve the right to change ANYTHING, AT ANY TIME. You may THINK you are getting certain appliances, cabinetry, flooring, etc. but they can change that and not even tell you! You want windows on the sunny side or facing away from your nearest neighbor? They can REVERSE the house plan without telling you and without your permission. You want to come by and see the progress or do a little inspection? They call that TRESPASSING and it immediately voids the contract! Yes, you can hire an independent inspector pre-drywall and pre-closing, but they are under no obligation to address ANYTHING your inspector finds. There is a pre-closing walk down, just like any other builder, but you HAVE to close whether or not they have resolved the items. The heat doesn't work? Too bad, you have to close. No refrigerator? Too bad, you have to close. Toilet doesn't flush? Too bad, you have to close. WHEN do they HAVE to fix things on the punch list? Whenever they freaking feel like it. Finally, they can cancel your contract at ANY TIME for ANY REASON by refunding your money +$500. So if you ask too many questions or look into things too closely, Bye Bye. I could go on and on about more problematic business practices, but I think you get the idea.... Such a shame for a community that has such potential, but why would ANYONE want to sign a contract with a company like this? We sure didn't... read more
