Lennar Reviews in Riverside San Bernardino, CA

The quality of the materials such as running boards, window screens, especially paints is very poor quality.

Coming from Wisconsin the bathrooms are normally close enough that you don’t need to waste water by running in down the drain for 30 second to get hot water. Also the change of design of not having a land line option in the house is a bit disappointing as when the next emergency (earthquake or fire) in the area, we know cell phone will not work. I also don’t understand why we have no option for electric appliances when there are solar panels on the roof. These items make me question the architect that designed the buildings.

Quality of work in building home was poor, seems certain trades are about quantity not quality when it came to building home.

People are great and helpful but the time line they are given to build is causing a quantity over quality situation putting unnecessary pressure on the workers that are doing the work

It was very difficult working with Michelle to be honest. This is our second home and there is no comparison with how great tri point was with purchasing and any issues we have had. There are some things that we went through with Brian during the walk through who was great, however when michelle handled our second walk through she was very dismissive and inattentive to our concerns. Anyway we addressed was a straight no without looking further to the issues. Our dishwasher was broken inside- the parts are unattached, the whole dishwasher can be removed it was never properly assembled and when we addressed this her response was we have to reach out to GE as it was not brought forward during our walk through- how would we know to run the dishwasher during our walk through Also other concerns and issues we have had it seems like the other representatives like Corina and Brian at least attempted but Michelle was just very frustrating rude and inattentive to deal with which did not make our experience pleasant. ...

Loan officer Jason was amazing and we’re Extremely happy with his service. Overall, the neighborhood is great however, several items on the house were not completed correctly. Also, very concerned about some of the other items I have brought up…..I have been unable to get a phone call back from Lennar about my concerns. However I would definitely recommend buying from Lennar to my friends and family

I used to think Lennar was the best builder ever! Why? Because they used to install ceiling speakers, cat5 jacks in every room, and not only they Not have that, they have no phone jacks, they decided not to run conduit from the garage to smart box, which the modem is in the garage, and if you want home phone, you need to put it in the garage. They got so cheap they decided to not install the flex conduit and they install the latch on the gate not only upside down but they put it on the outside instead of inside like it’s supposed to, and their excuse? “Oh well, that’s just what was in the plans!” That deserves a 1 star, but I didn’t cuz I still love my home. ...

The walk through would best be done after move in...overwhelming before. Retention of info would make sense after becoming familiar. Front yard landscape is unappealing. Warn new buyers untrustworthy solicitors seeking landscape, concrete jobs.

Well, I felt during my home buying process, the communication between different departments was lacking in which it affected me at times. There are too many websites that Lennar has and getting on the portal wasn't user-friendly.

Very good homes but the mortgage process needs improvement

The quality of materials used to build the home is top notch. Also the built-in technology is great, such as solar panels, water leak detection, sprinkler system, fire alarm, ring alarm, etc. Customer Care has been quite responsive to resolving issues.

Troy, Trina, and Joe have been helpful throughout this process. Erin our consultant was the best

Lot of lack of communication, answer or updates from sales. Also I have been complaining that might have some issue with the electric installation in the house and it has been kind of ignored . Some specific issues were taken care after 3 or 4 claims but still the breaker keeps going off. It’s not normal that a new house have the breaker off so often. Wish some one could come and inspect in general if everything is ok.

The counter top in the kitchen is not good quality, with the price for the house, they could put better quality for counter top in the kitchens, it’s sensitive to hot plate. Also all the bathroom are vinyl, they could make it tile with no extra cost ….. After the closing, reaching to them was hard. I got my correct mailbox key after one month.

Overall ok there are some things that could be done more efficient. Return call from Corina almost never happened. Response to concerning things regarding identifying my condo i don't like. We need something in front of the unit that identifies address. Still have not received how we address that. The numbers are on the side of the unit instead of in front. Doesn't help when we get deliveries to have to figure out which place to deliver because numbers are not in front of the unit.

The entire of using Lennar as a Mortgage Lender was very stressful and would never use them again. With such great credit and a huge amount of asset I felt I was treated like someone without a job or money. My real-estate agent Rosalie was the absolute best. she is the best employee Lennar has in this area

The sales office staff and the concierge staff isn’t very responsive nor do they seem to know a lot about the houses on the spot. I got the feeling that they were always busy and due to the fact that the sales staff was love to a new track each month they didn’t know much about the houses. Lennar having a couple documents of general information that sales staff could give out to buyers would help out. And if possible each office could keep a list of FAQ to give out would be very helpful. Also, no one ever told me that the solar wouldn’t work for the 1st couple months only learned that the day I got the keys. I do like that the condos are built so that very little sound is heard from the next door units. Please note that the 1 car garage can be a tight fit depending on the car. The maintenance group is very responsive and helpful. ... More

Quality and workmanship of drywall and paint was lacking.

Our buying experience started great, we were very excited to get approved for the home. The home-buying process started great and then continued to go downhill. By the end of the process we still had no idea what day we would close. It was very stressing. The workmanship on the home varies. Some things are done really well, like the appliances, but the attention to details is lacking. For example, where the countertop pieces in the kitchen meet, one side is cornered and the other is not. There were scratches on the island that didn't come out. There are clumps of paint on the underside of the stair railing. The shower drains were loose, just sitting on the drain, not done correctly. A door frame has a gap between the frame and the wall, not patched. They could have done a better job for what we paid for the house. The only positive thing since we've moved in is the Lennar Service Request process. Our Service Manager Frankie is AMAZING! He has handled everything for us, quickly and professionally. ... More

At the entrance of my home, there are two stone post(wall), this job was pretty bad. I've been notified the sales agent number of times, but no correction was made. Hope, the construction company response quickly.

Overall quality of the house is good. How ever, customer service needs to improve. There is a pattern of ignoring or avoiding customer requests.

not the best experience overall

The overall process of buying our home was fabulous thanks to our own personal realtor they were able to provide a very transparent and prompt response to all of our concerns. However this is an issue Lennar needs to address. When working with buyers who are prepared, prompt, and most importantly represented your loan officers should provide better overall customer service. We had offers and pre approvals from other lenders who provided our numbers within 48 hours and Lennars process took nearly two weeks even with all of the requested documents. Overall I still recommended friends to purchase in the same community and they had a similar process but overall they were happy with their purchase. I hope to hear you have improved in the future for future developments ... More

My experience in purchasing Skyborne unit was a mix of satisfaction and frustration. While the overall quality of the house was satisfactory, there were several areas where improvements could have been made to enhance customer satisfaction. One of the minor yet notable issues was the placement of the garbage disposal button under the sink. It seemed like a small inconvenience at first, but in practice, it became an annoyance in daily use. Simple adjustments in its placement could have significantly improved the user experience. Another aspect that could have been better was the provision of extra doors for the bathroom. Adding an additional door would have provided more privacy and convenience, especially for larger households. Additionally, the lack of extra space for storage in the bathroom was a missed opportunity. Incorporating more storage solutions would have been appreciated and made the space more functional. One major disappointment was the absence of an EV charger, despite the recommendation to install solar panels. This oversight was particularly frustrating as it left us unable to fully utilize our environmentally friendly energy source. It's essential for builders to consider the complete package when making such recommendations to consumers. Furthermore, the placement of the AC compressor right outside the living room, directly under the water pipe, was a significant oversight. During rainy weather, water pouring down from the pipe posed a risk to the compressor and created potential safety hazards. This could have been easily avoided with better planning and consideration of placement. Overall, while the house met our basic requirements, there were missed opportunities for improvement that could have elevated the overall experience. With a little more attention to detail and consideration for customer needs, the buying experience could have been much more satisfying. ... More

Lennar needs to improve construction quality. I have to submit 10 work order in the first month after move in. 2 walkthroughs didn't help me to resolve the issues. There is no home security system, not even a ring door bell or keyless smart lock. I found a empty beer bottle on top of my kitchen cabinets. Try to see what you can find in your homes!!
