Very personable. Felt like I was having a custom house built. Loved the progress pictures and personal website was unique and informative.

A little west so there are not alot of restaurants or convenience stores available. However, we feel we are on our own little vacation home on a huge lake lot. It's nice and quiet.

Excellent customer service and they treat you like family. They are far superior than any other builder we have dealt with in our 32 years in Florida.From being greeted by a friendly professional team to the closing and beyond, no other company comes close. The entire Akel family will make you feel that you made the right choice and they have been on time with all aspects of the process. The website "MyAkel" is unique and incredible wealth of information from stored documents to weekly photos of your home as it is being built.

I wasn't seriously looking for a home but completely fell in love when I came to the grand opening. Everything has been amazing from beginning to end. To say I now have my dream house would be an understatement. My wife and I couldn't be happier with our new home. The attention to detail is beyond anything I've ever seen. Akel Homes truly built our dream house. Even after closing, they are incredible with the amount of services and amenities they offer. They're more than a builder. They actually care about the communities they put together.

I’m a few minutes away from PGA in an area that’s gonna blow up in the next 10 years. If anything I can be happier about the location. Besides it being our dream home, that’s a tremendous investment.

What I disliked about the purchase process was the lack of flexibility in design choices. I wish we had more options to customize certain features, like being able to modify the closets in each room or even opt out of installing closets altogether. It would have been great to have more control over these details to better suit our specific needs and preferences.

I’m satisfied with the people I’ve interacted with at Akel Homes. The communication has been consistently great, and I’ve always felt like my concerns and questions were taken seriously. Akel truly listens to its homeowners, making us feel like part of a family. Whenever I needed clarification or assistance, they were quick to respond and provide helpful solutions. This personalized approach is why I would recommend them, though there are still areas where I feel improvements could be made.

Homebuilder Customer Reviews

No one knows more about a homebuilder's quality and service than the builder's customers.

Since 1984, Eliant has been independently evaluating the performance of homebuilders across the U.S., Canada, and the Middle East:...read more

  • We ask recent homebuyers to evaluate their builder's purchase process.
  • Then, we ask homeowners to evaluate their builder's quality and service (1) after the first 5-months in the home, and (2) again at the end of the first year.

In "Homebuilder Customer Reviews", we present the ratings and comments collected from new-home buyers at these three points in time.

Eliant verifies that only evaluations completed by actual customers are included in this "Homebuilder Customer Reviews" site. No other evaluations - whether collected by the builder or those appearing on other public sites - are included here. All customer comments are included verbatim, no editing is permitted...read less
