Lennar Reviews in Raleigh Durham Chapel Hill, NC

Great design and build for the price and location. Surprised to see couple of issues in electrical fixtures within months so can’t confirm on the quality overall until after some time. Everything was on warranty so not a big issue and their response has been pretty quick.

Great location for resale but I was really attracted to the amenities. The walking trail and park provide areas for enjoyment. I love the continuous sidewalks as well. The convenience of shopping and proximity to Raleigh is also attractive.

Lennar's timely communication about the process and reminders about crucial dates and deadlines helped me through the homebuying process.

A disappointing experience. The personnel have been very nice throughout; however, this does not make up for the other issues. The quality of material is terrible for the price paid and there is no attention to detail. The finish work, in particular, is shockingly sloppy. Some of it can be touched up but many items will never look they way they should. We didn’t expect perfection, but this suggests work being done as fast as possible with no regard for how the finished product looks. Does no one have any pride in their work? I so wish we hadn’t purchased this home and I’m very worried about it keeping its value. This was a huge mistake. I wish we had paid more attention to the poor reviews of other Lennar homes. Sometimes I just want to cry. ... More

Multiple callout provided on Poor workmanship, Finally the Construction Manager, said that is the design of Lennar and they have seen the pattern in all houses. The design of structure is poor. On the day of closing , got the key and opened the door with lots of dreams, happiness and excitement, shattered into pieces looking at the with so much dirt. Called the construction manager, sales manager and they were not available. Latter received the call saying he personally check and house is clean. This is the quality Lennar provides.

Picked a home that was already started. Really liked home and site location. The home came with so many upgrades and the quality of the build was really good. Compared to other new houses I’d visited, Lennar cottages offered more extras for the price. However, there was a serious grading issue that I felt should’ve been disclosed. Their resolution for it made the site not work for me physically and the salesperson knew that. Someone else on team helped get me another site, which was great . But getting this new site was dampen somewhat by having to accept a home that wasn’t the one I chose and not colors I liked. In addition, there were identified issues that were supposed to be resolved prior to my move in that were not. I have had to make several attempts to get most of those issues resolved. Lennar’s warranty team acted very quickly to resolve the issues I brought to their attention. However, I had to make several requests to construction for other issues to get a resolution and still have others not resolved after being in house over a month. So my experience is very mixed and somewhat disappointin. I will say the cottages are really good homes and with great options for floor plans. ... More

I could write pages about how awful my experience has been, but to summarize things….I wish I would have never brought a house with this builder or in this neighborhood.

Build cheaper, build more, and charge twice what you would have charged three years ago. THAT’S the Lennar way.

Good community and good facilities

Overall experience was good, their correspondence was amazing, frequent updates on progress and closing was smooth. Meeting with a contractor and walkthrough was amazing. Build quality is average. Lennar Quality check person who was appointed during blue tape inspection was very unprofessional and rude, he was behaving as if Lennar has given home for free as a charity and any question or quality issue we raised kind of agitated him personally. I am sure this is one of employee but that experience was very unpleasant to the point I wanted to just leave deposit and not proceed with purchase. ... More

I purchased a townhouse that was already finished and the process from start to finish was very efficient. The inspection went well and there were only a few comments that were addressed in the following week. Everyone I worked with was very professional and they helped me with all the blue taping. Overall, it was an awesome experience. There was some disconnect between the loan and insurance and a correction needed to be made to the final paperwork. I got everything in place far in advance of the close date, but the final CD was not available until the day before. I would have hoped to have it a couple weeks in advance to avoid last minute activities, but other than that very smooth experience. ... More

Staff was not the most friendly or responsive Missed drywall inspection

Very good community with great prices and very helpful sales/build team.

I think we had the worst experience with the Lennar team, from sales to concierge. Once you sign the initial contract, the sales team acted as if they don't know us. We tried to contact them a couple of times regarding the change in closing date from what was initially confirmed and there was absolutely no response from them. We left a couple of voicemails but no call backs or anything. Then there's another team called concierge team. This team should be renamed as the legal team as anything you ask them they take screenshots of the contract and send them to you with a note that you agreed to this. They changed the closing date by 2 months, when we asked to advance the date by one day, they did not agree. It was very frustrating dealing with them. When it comes to the quality of the build, workmanship, or the materials used, we opened around 8 tickets in one month. That should tell you something. The only saving grace is that the warranty team is very efficient in addressing the multiple support tickets that we opened. We are not sure how many more we will open in the next 11 months. ...

This second time we have purchased from lennar. Our experience was very good ! Thumbs up..!!

Would absolutely not recommend. Cut corners at every possible turn. The material used was as cheap as possible and absolutely 0 attention to detail, to the point they messed up the install of several appliances and little things like the electrical outlets aren't even flush with the wall. The buying process was no better and should have served as my first warning. Once I paid my deposit, my realtor and myself recieved absolutely no communication from the representative. I also went with them for the loan due to promotional interest rate and there were numerous issues even in this process. Not communicating issues or items that needed to be resolved, repeatedly asking for information already sent, and I had to most documents several times due to repeated mistakes which delayed the process further. The only good thing about Lennar, is that the customer care rep to get issues fixed is great. She is working with me to address as many reasonably fixable issues as she can. Overall, if you're looking to buy a house don't buy new as it seems a lot of companies are taking huge advantage of the current housing situation. If you are deadset on buying new, don't buy from Lennar, what you get for what you will pay is bad even in this market. ... More

Overall construction is good but there are a few like Landscaping, and final cleaning which were worst. Things that are blue-tapped for repair are also not addressed before closing.

So far so good everything‘s been great and Lennar and their personnel have been extremely helpful in resolving issues and answering questions and they have made my experience easy and I look forward to continuing to work with Lennar.

Most of the workmanship was great but two of the bathrooms came without hand towel holders. When I came back for my walkthrough things were still not done and to this day they never replaced shrubbery that was supposed to be replaced. Lennar needs to do better when writing the laws/covenants for the HOA.

Very systematic and very effective way

Worst customer service! No one cares after the purchase of the home. I created a service request ticket and it was closed without any communication.

Great quality house. Quick responses to any issues. we have.

Overall the home is good, and the build is good, did not face much issues until now. But I am not happy with the customer care post home closing, even during the construction process there was always communication gap from construction manager side, He never kept us in loop on the progress, did not even notify us before drywall were put. I had to contact him to get pre-drywall inspection scheduled and the drywalls were hastily put in so I couldn't get the inspection done. After closing, there are pre-identified issues with the lawn and shrubs which are not tackled by the construction manager, and only response I ever got from him is "Yeah we'll get it done, you need not worry", and no action on the ground to "actually take care of the issue". Really unhappy with the post home closing customer care. ... More

Post box keys should be given while closing. They were not given to us. And we were asked to only come between 10am-4pm to the community and pick up the keys separately. This is ridiculous. Why cant the post box keys be given at the same time while closing. Very bad experience

Overall experience was smooth. I recommended it as my first time home buying experience was great. Seemed like each part of the overall process from builders etc was the highest quality.
