Overall quality good. More punch list items than expected, most minor, however one is considerable, will require cutting up master shower tile floor to pitch draining correctly, pitch off more than an inch from one end to the other. In 2013. I also had a new home built by Lennar, quality and responsiveness was better. That experience in 2013 was what lead me to stay with Lennar. The current sale rep, Moe Lee is excellent and very responsive. The mortgage team was fantastic. The only area of concern was with the overall quality of the contractor workmanship. I am currently going through the ...

Bad experience

Bad experience with stuart and the Ivan (Customer rep). This is regarding the dent on the refrigerator. David inspected (Sep 20th) the house before we moved in. And found there is a big dent to the refrigerator and he contacted the respective team to replace it with a new one. Seems they agreed for a replacement (I don't know who he contacted). Till now no one contacted me for a replacement. It's been months and no one contacted me on this. I was not expecting this kind of service from Lennar. I was emailing Ivan and Donald (director of customer care). Still there is no response till ...

Our move in was hugely disappointing and challenging. Elevator to our third floor condo not working for several days. No hot water for several days. Dishwasher not working, furnace very loud, can hear people on staircase. No insulation?

Purchasing the home we had an excellent experience. Once closing was completed and the punch list needed to be addressed our texts and phone calls are not being returned. The repairs are not being addressed and it’s been almost 60 days.

Lennar was great from start to finish.

  • Marc O.
  • Verified Homebuyer

  • Myrtle Beach, SC

From start to finish everyone associated with Lennar was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. From my first call to inquire about the property until final walk thru we were kept informed on a bi-weekly basis how construction was coming along which was extremely important as we were in NJ. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a new well built home.

Homes that frustrate

  • Shafter, CA

Being that we spent over half a million. Things felt rushed. Materials used were cheap. Lots of mess ups that after we move in aren’t covered. Bathroom shower tile is horrible. Master shower casing is losing its color. When you do a walk through and only thing you hear is I have another appointment I have another appointment we got x amount of time left. Process was just the worse. Still don’t have proper doors and other main fixtures for the house. Nightmare! For the amount of money this should of been a non rushed professional set up process. Instead it was I got get my numbers process

Not responsive

  • Luke V.

  • Rancho Mission Viejo, CA

The whole process with securing the loan and financing with Lennar was great and seamless. Once you get your keys and sign off on issues in your home you think will be fixed you hear nothing back. It’s like once Lennar got their money I was on my own. I put in three customer care requests and was “supposed to hear back in a week”. Well that was December 4th and today is January 10th. I have not received one phone call as to when these issues will be fixed. I even texted the rep who I did my customer care appointment with and I have heard nothing back. Be mindful, when you buy a Lennar home ...

Shoddy construction

Let me start off by saying that this is a wonderful community and I’m very happy that I moved here despite the construction issues. The other residents make it the wonderful community. My home sat with no progress being done for much of 2022. It wasn’t until the final month that they hurriedly slapped it together. It shows! I am a disabled veteran and have felt totally overwhelmed with all that needs to be done but I will make sure that Lennar fixes all of the issues with my home. As I type this, tiles are being replaced in my living room. The place basically needs to be repainted, I ...

Buyer of house in The Enclaves at Settlers Ridge

  • Cathryn L.

  • Inver Grove Heights, MN

We just purchased and moved in the end of November. We had things that we were told that they would come back right away to fix or finish and that still hasn't happened. For what we paid for the house, you would think that we would get better customer service and timely repairs. The fact that we were promised grass before we moved in and it didn't happen, very unfortunate. Everyone that I have spoken with has said they can't believe that gutters aren't a part of the home building package, which again is just sad. We are happy to be in our house but just wish that the things would just get ...

Once the down payment went through so did the fast response to issues. Closed early to help them out and immediately regretted that because there were issues with filthy grout on brand new tile floors throughout the home. Painters and cleaners not good in my opinion. I’m not moved in yet but will be soon and hope everything has been taken care of… we shall see. Oh and the garage and lanai and front walkway has many cracks that they say is ok not sure about the driveway yet. Overall I wouldn’t have bought my home because every step of the way was constant phone calls, texts with a real bad ...

Terrible from beginning to the end. DO NOT BUY A HOME FROM LENNAR

  • Nicholas H.

  • Spring Hill, TN

I was hoping for this new home build to be a great experience, but unfortunately every aspect of this process was terrible. From the sales team, to the financing, to the quality of work, to the final inspections my wife and I were extremely dissatisfied. During the financing process Lennars rates were higher than others and they used scare tactics such as “you will not get your keys after closing if you do not use Lennar Lending”. This was untrue as were most things Lennar informed me. Once the home was built and an inspection was conducted it was worst that we could have imagined. We had ...

They are a big builder that took advantage of California real estate boom, built too fast and not great quality. Their communication and responsiveness is incomplete.
