Lennar Reviews in Charleston, SC

We had a great experience with our building manager, Mike! No major issues, but a couple of minor ones that we will wait to have fixed as more inconviences than issues.

The home buying process is not for the faint at heart but the Lennar team from sales to the lender were very helpful.

The home buying experience was satisfying

I bough without a realtor, and just me and the sales office. Karl was immensely helpful in his knowledge, responsiveness and chasing down answers for me. I used a private inspector who as you would expect found things during construction, and they were addressed promptly with personal high-touch interaction with Matthew and JD, my construction managers. Now, this was not my first rodeo, but even if it were, these folks did a very nice job.

Finance process was very frustrating

I'm sure others have covered all the typical pros & cons of the home itself. The one area I find highly frustrating is moving into a new home and it backs to a future phase that has been postponed. That land which many new homeowners view everyday since it's right in their back yard has piles of trash and debris 2 stories or higher. It also has mountains of dirt at least 3 stories high. There's more but I'll digress. My understanding is that it will be a year or more before anything is done with this mess. Lennar needs to address this in Horizon's at Summers Corner even if it's just removing the trash & huge steel containers and then leveling out the dirt. Anything would be an improvement to make this eyesore less painful to us new homeowners. ... More

Working with Lennar overall was positive. However, you have to understand what you are getting which is a quality spec home at a good price. You get what you get. They mass produce houses and you will have the occasional issue. Also certain things may or may not be included.

We love the floor plan. Was disappointed in 2 x 4 vs 2 x 6 studs. The build should have more insulation included. No major issues at this 3 months in. Closing was seamless. We hope to live here for many years.

I read a lot of reviews online about the horrors some people experienced with Lennar so I was a little concerned when purchasing my home in Carnes Crossroads in SC as they were the only builder. The whole mortgage process was very smooth and easy and we were informed and communicated with often. The build was also completed to our satisfaction with few items needing attention which were resolved quickly. Overall it was a good experience.

Overall we were happy with Lennar's homebuild and process. Our pre-drywall inspection according to our 3rd party was "well above average" - meaning it was done fairly well and only maintained a few critical issues. Getting these resolved required some follow-up but our construction managers were communicative and helpful to get the job done. Slight delays outside of Lennar's control caused rushing toward the end but no key items remained unresolved by closing. Again, I would recommend walking the site and staying on top of every step of the build. Some finishes could be nicer for the cost, specifically the builder-grade closet racks, mirrors, and cheap paint/unfinished garage. Would also love to see Lennar include more things in new-build purchases like towel racks/toilet paper holders; really simple and functional things are not included. ... More

There were delays in finishing the home, tied to the local government and permits being issued. What was troubling was that Lennar communicated a time frame that was not reliable. What was originally a late September closing turned out to be a late November. My recommendation to Lennar is to provide a time range for closing/completion, not a tentative date.

Great price on a quality home..Lennar mortgage caused some anxiety along with closing surprises and a little heavy handed on the closing..Lennar real estate agents were not very helpful..The house is built with quality materials.. overall I am satisfied

Workmanship on the home is marginal. I keep saying "is it cost/time effective to do it correct the first time?" that to keep coming back to repair the issue. Also, we've had experiences with warranty matters when we've been told the trade is scheduled to come out, they don't show or communicate.

in general, house is ok. service is ok. but just ok. Lennar can do it even better to become great. but you cannot expect that. because of Lennar build massive houses at the same time and want control cost as much as they can according to Lennar. the warranty team is good. always have quick response. most warranty issue are very minor things which they can avoid before house close if they want, you have to escalate and prove it according to the process steps over and over again which make you feel a little bit annoyed.

Foremost it is a lovely home, however, there is way too much paper work that creates a lot of confusion. Constantly going back and forth no one can retain all of the information. Moving in I did not have time to seal the granite so just spilling water on the counter makes it darker in spots. It should have been sealed before we moved in.

The process was seamless and schedule well.

Everything went ad scheduled and buying process fairly easy

Trouble getting mailbox and keys

Wish there was a bit higher quality of construction (I.E. 2X6 vice 2X4 framing). Also there are simply not enough outlets installed nor utility sink plumbing in the garage. All of which I would have been happy to pay for if that was an option!

Going through Lennar’s financing was a long process I think it was because we went VA but still the amount of items the underwriter kept asking for was ridiculous we actually didn’t know we were set to close until 12 before we closed! We have great credit to so I’d hate to see how it would be if you don’t! Eunice was really helpful and nice! The house is beautiful but there are some things that they’ve cut corners on for sure! We are overall happy but there are things that could be improved on!

The process was very smooth from beginning to end everyone from Lennar was always there when I had a question very helpful

Sales rep was great, builder was great. Lender experience was average at best.,

We purchased our home while living in New England. The CM Chip, was truly our long distance eyes. He walked us through the process and helped us understand the South Carolina and Berkeley County building codes which had an impact on the timeline. We put our trust in Chip, and he never let us down.

Had an amazing experience in purchasing our new Lennar home. Everyone on the sales and marketing teams were awesome to work with. Would recommend Lennar to anyone.

Nice spec home with great design/layout and able to further personalize to meet my needs. Yard needs work-lots of mounds and low areas and turf not growing as it should on this property but not all properties. Lennar very responsive to address issues & answer questions so overall, good experience continues to evolve over time
