Why You’ll Love Living In Knollwood Village
When you’re ready to build your custom home, here’s why Knollwood Village may be the right place for you.
A Civic Club
Since the 1950s, Knollwood Village has had a civic club that maintains the beauty and peace of the neighborhood by enforcing deed restrictions, ensuring the safety of its residents, connecting with city officials, and making visitors and new neighbors feel welcome. The civic club is also responsible for helping the community grow and connect. It does this by hosting community events, introducing new neighbors, providing updates from schools in the neighborhood, and sending out quarterly newsletters.
Security
The neighborhood has its own security patrol service, which patrols neighborhood streets, day and night, and responds to incidents and reports from residents. In addition to helping keep the area safe, the patrol also conducts vacation watches and welfare checks and responds to home alarm systems, often arriving first on the scene. They’ll also be on hand to help residents who have lost pets, filed noise complaints, or need assistance with open doors and gates or items accumulating in yards.
Support For Families
Mothers who are living in Knollwood Village can become part of the Braeswood Place Mom’s Club, a group of more than 200 local moms that offers tons of support for families in the area. They supply family meals to parents with new babies, run a babysitting co-op, and host playgroups, mom’s nights out, and family events, like movies in the park, couple’s nights, and pool parties.
Holiday Cheer
If you’ve dreamed of decorating your custom home for the holidays, you’ll love living in a neighborhood that hosts annual holiday decorating contests for Christmas and Halloween. Along with decorations adding cheer to the streets of Knollwood Village, there are also holiday events throughout the year to add to the festive feel.

When you work with Sabo Custom Builders, you’ll go through a three-step home-building process.
Step 1 - Meet
The first step begins with meeting owner, Ed Sabo, to talk about your vision, expectations, budget, and timeframe. You’ll also learn more about our company, our philosophy, and why we may be the right fit for your project.
Step 2 - Plan
The next step, the planning phase, is when we plan your design and price your project. We’ll work with architects, interior designers, engineers, and other third-party vendors to ensure your home is structurally sound, well-designed, and meets your target budget. Using your input along with historical data and recommendations from our building-performance specialist, we’ll also make sure the plans produce an energy-efficient home. During this time, you’ll continue to work with Ed Sabo and also a project manager.
Step 3 - Build
In the final step, all of the hard work will pay off as your custom home is built. During this step, your project manager will perform daily job site visits and keep you updated on the build until it is finished and you do a final walk-through of your new home.
