Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to K. Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc., a California corporation (“K. Hovnanian”), and Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the parent of K. Hovnanian (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-173365) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by K. Hovnanian, the Company and the other Guarantors (as defined below) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the issuance thereunder by K. Hovnanian of $100,000,000 aggregate stated amount of 6.00% Exchangeable Note Units (the “Units”), each with a stated amount of $1,000.00 per Unit, including 10,000 Units issued by K. Hovnanian pursuant to the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated September 19, 2012 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among K. Hovnanian, the Company and the subsidiary guarantors named in Schedule B to the Underwriting Agreement (such subsidiary guarantors, and together with the Company, the “Guarantors” and each, a “Guarantor”) and the underwriters named therein. Each Unit initially consists of (i) an exchangeable senior note bearing no cash interest, (each, an “Exchangeable Note,” and collectively, the “Exchangeable Notes”) issued by K.

Hovnanian and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by the Guarantors, which has an initial principal amount of $768.51 per Exchangeable Note (and an initial aggregate principal amount of $76,851,000) that will accrete to $1,000.00 at the maturity date of December 1, 2017 and will be exchangeable, at the holder’s option, into the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) a senior amortizing note (each, an “Amortizing Note,” and collectively, the “Amortizing Notes”) issued by K. Hovnanian and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by the Guarantors, which has an initial principal amount of $231.49 per Amortizing Note (and an initial aggregate principal amount of $23,149,000), bears interest at a rate of 11.00% per annum and has a final installment payment date of December 1, 2017.

We have examined the Registration Statement as it became effective under the Securities Act; K. Hovnanian’s and the Company’s prospectus dated April 18, 2011 (the “Base Prospectus”), as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated September 19, 2012 (the “Final Prospectus Supplement” and, together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”), filed by K. Hovnanian and the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act; the Units Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2012 (the “Units Agreement”), by and among K. Hovnanian, the Company, and Wilmington Trust Company, as units agent (the “Units Agent”); a copy of the global certificate representing the Units; the indenture, dated as of February 14, 2011 (the “Base Indenture”), by and among K. Hovnanian, the Company, as guarantor, and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”); the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 2, 2012, by and among K. Hovnanian, the Guarantors, and the Trustee (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Exchangeable Notes Indenture”); a copy of the registered certificate representing the Exchangeable Notes and the guarantees of the Guarantors annexed

2

thereto (the “Exchangeable Notes Guarantees”) initially annexed to the Units; the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 2, 2012, by and among K. Hovnanian, the Guarantors, and the Trustee (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Amortizing Notes Indenture”, together with the Exchangeable Notes Indenture, the “Indentures”); a copy of the registered certificate representing the Amortizing Notes and the guarantees of the Guarantors annexed thereto (the “Amortizing Notes Guarantees”, and together with the Exchangeable Notes Guarantees, the “Guarantees”) initially annexed to the Units; a copy of a specimen certificate representing the Common Stock; and the Underwriting Agreement. In addition, we have examined, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, the originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such records, agreements, documents and other instruments and such certificates or comparable documents or statements of public officials and of officers and representatives of K. Hovnanian and the Guarantors and have made such other investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

We have also assumed that (i) each of the Guarantors listed on Schedule II hereto, none of which are corporations incorporated or limited liability companies organized in the State of Delaware or the State of New York (the “Schedule II Guarantors”), is validly existing and in good standing under the law of the jurisdiction in which it was organized and has duly authorized, executed and delivered or issued, as applicable, each of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the Exchangeable Notes Guarantees and the

3

Amortizing Notes Guarantees in accordance with its charter, by-laws, limited liability company agreements or other organizational documents, as applicable, and the law of the jurisdiction in which it was organized; (ii) the execution, delivery or issuance, as applicable, and performance by each of the Schedule II Guarantors of each of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the Exchangeable Notes Guarantees and the Amortizing Notes Guarantees do not constitute a violation or breach of any agreement or instrument which is binding upon such Schedule II Guarantor (other than any indenture listed in the exhibits to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 relating to securities of the Company outstanding on the date hereof) or its charter or by-laws or similar organizational documents; and (iii) the execution, delivery or issuance, as applicable, and performance by each of the Schedule II Guarantors of each of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the Exchangeable Notes Guarantees and the Amortizing Notes Guarantees do not violate the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was organized or the laws of any other jurisdiction (except that no such assumption is made with respect to the federal law of the United States and the law of the State of New York).

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. Assuming the due execution, authentication, issuance and delivery of the Exchangeable Notes, upon payment of the consideration for the Units provided for in the Underwriting Agreement, the Exchangeable Notes will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of K. Hovnanian, enforceable against K. Hovnanian in accordance with their terms.

2. Assuming the due execution, authentication, issuance and delivery of the Exchangeable Notes, upon payment of the consideration for the Units provided for in the Underwriting Agreement, the Exchangeable Notes Guarantees will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of each of the Guarantors enforceable against each of the Guarantors in accordance with their terms.

3. Assuming the due execution, authentication, issuance and delivery of the Amortizing Notes, upon payment of the consideration for the Units provided for

4

in the Underwriting Agreement, the Amortizing Notes will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of K. Hovnanian, enforceable against K. Hovnanian in accordance with their terms.

4. Assuming the due execution, authentication, issuance and delivery of the Amortizing Notes, upon payment of the consideration for the Units provided for in the Underwriting Agreement, the Amortizing Notes Guarantees will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of each of the Guarantors, enforceable against each of the Guarantors in accordance with their terms.

5. Assuming the due execution, authentication, issuance and delivery of the Units, upon payment of the consideration therefor provided for in the Underwriting Agreement, the Units will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of each of K. Hovnanian and the Company enforceable against each of K. Hovnanian and the Company in accordance with their terms.

6. When the shares of Common Stock initially issuable by the Company upon exchange of the Exchangeable Notes have been issued and/or delivered in accordance with the terms of the Exchangeable Notes Indenture, such shares of Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Our opinions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 above are subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

For purposes of our opinions set forth in paragraphs 1 and 5 above, we assume that the increase in the exchange rate upon the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change pursuant to the provisions of the Exchangeable Notes Indenture and any related provisions of Exchangeable Notes (whether a component of Units or Separate Exchangeable Notes) represents reasonable compensation of the lost option value of the Exchangeable Notes (whether a component of Units or Separate Exchangeable Notes) as a result of the make-whole fundamental change.

We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of the State of New York, the federal law of the United States and the Delaware General Corporation Law.

5

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.3 to the Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company filed with the Commission in connection with the offer and sale of the Units and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus.
