Lennar Reviews in Myrtle Beach, SC

Did not like not being able make upgrade

A good home for the money.

Keep you updated on the property and building status

Every house comes with it its challenges. But the best part of my new buying experience was dealing with a particular Lennar representative named Ryan. He went above and beyond to answer our many questions and always made himself available. He is a great representation of the Lennar brand.

I've had some ongoing challenges with concrete pouring on the patio and the stone trim in the front of my house. When I asked for a replacement, people came over my house multiple times to replace it. When the subcontractor finally showed up, the stone trim was a different color (light rose vs light gray) and told me "don't worry... the color will fade." I am no contractor, but I'm not stupid and had to ask this person leave my property, which prompted the site construction team to not use them in the future. Lennar tried to this, but due to work restrictions, this has not been fixed for months, and I have to keep calling to remind them not forget about this. Also, consider an alternative to financing, as the folks they work with just do not give straight answers. ... More

The entire team super nice throughout the entire process. The only negative thing for us that we found living here is how close the houses are to each other and very poor noise insulation within the walls. It’s a little disturbing when you can hear your neighbors outside while you are inside and all the windows are shut. Outside walls could use more insulation.

Lennar has always there for us for any issue with the house.

Lennar has used mediocre materials in the home which reflects the price paid. Response time for getting things fixed is good.

Sales person at the show home helped make the moving / home-buying experience easier than I thought.

John,Daniel and James were all very responsive and attentive to any issues that we had.

Enjoying our new home and neighborhood..

We purchased a POND VIEW for an additional premium and after closing a 6 foot privacy fence was installed blocking any view of the pond. Lennar knew they were installing this fence but waited until all units were under contract before doing this. We would never have purchased this lot if we knew we paid to look at a high white fence for the rest of our lives. I'm also sure this review will never see the light of day!

My initial contact was an older lady at the model for Arcadia. She was horrible and would have turned me against Lennar for all time because of her terrible attitude even though I found what I thought was my perfect house. I fell across another model of that house in a new development called hidden lines and that’s when Lennar redeemed themselves. Laura is amazing and the only reason I bought my present house from him his builder. There isn’t enough bytes on the internet to describe how amazing she is. My builder Jason was also very good but his hands were tied because of his boss with a couple issues I wanted adjusted or done. Then with a rush to close, I noticed many discrepancies in the quality of the build. One of which is more annoying that my windows (some of them) aren’t square. They taper making it impossible to fit blinds consistently. We’ll see if anyone will make it right under the warranty. ... More

The buying process was very quick.

We lived out of state and was bought the house site unseen. When we contacted lennar we had a salesman contact us. He was pretty good at keeping in contact until the closing. There were a few issues that had to be addressed, however, most were taken care of before the closing. The fact that we cannot get prints to the house is a little irritating considering if we need to do any upgrading or remodeling, we don’t know where anything is running in the home. We understand the prints are property of lennar, but the prints could be stamped and given to the owners. Steve, our construction supervisor has been absolutely amazing. He went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable with everything. It would have been nice to see that there were actually houses going to be built behind us before we put the down payment down. We would have chosen another lot. We also had to go to another builders website to see the community space that is behind built, so that may want to be updated on Lennar’s website. ... More

I would like to start from the beginning, our sales person Holly was inadequate, couldn't get answers to our questions and wouldn't go to her superior to get answers. Then our construction manager Kevin came aboard this is where questions got answered. Kevin is the biggest asset to the Lennar Team without him I probably wouldn't have purchased this home, he made the purchase effortless.

I would like to compliment the Lennar team of workers that keep this ship moving in the right direction. No easy task. Had great interactions along the way with everyone, sales (Greg), project managers (Miguel & Kimberly) and Sam on the Customer service end. Very professional and helpful. Started off with a non responsive and overwhelmed project manager, which was switched to a new but too late in the project. A lot was missed in the finish work that should have been caught by inspections and managers. I am extremely disappointed by the lack of attention to detail. Here are SOME of the issues with the finish work; -Joint compound (spackle) drops everywhere. (Rugs, walls, doors, and moldings) -The spackle work in general was poor. especially around bathroom transom window, showers, ceiling seams. - Door casing, base moldings and quarter round is caulked heavily to hide big gaps. -Base molding shimmed from the wall to cover flooring shortage/gap! -Uneven walls/moldings. -Entry door off the garage is installed poorly. (Large gap created behind the casing filled with a ton of caulk) -Walls painted over unsanded spackle and large spackle drops. I am extremely disappointed that I will have to move into a brand new home and have professional contactors fix these issue properly. I have seen the quick fixes that Lennar contractors have done and I am left in disbelief by the lack of attention to detail. I think for the premium cost paid for the home, the workmanship falls short. ... More

A lot of back and forth with the clubs and attorneys. I don't think that there's a good job at all communicating.

Thought the builder would have been able to help with this. Piping in the backyard is a real eyesore.

Looking to maximize profit for stockholders, Lennar overlooked the homebuyer by selecting mostly average quality (at best) features throughout, i.e., kitchen and bath cabinets, baseboards, door moldings, closet shelving, etc. Top that by not painting the garage or by selling upgraded "luxury" kitchens which don't even have a refrigerator and you have Lennar at its best. Heavy use of sheetrock mud, paint and caulking attempts to hide many of the workmanship flaws. It cannot be overstated, inspect EVERYTHING for operation and flaws prior to the developer's walkthrough and give them the list. Once closed, it's more difficult to get things done and they have other priorities. After two months, I still have "blue tape" places where work needs to be done and Lennar's representatives said the items would be addressed. ... More

We decided to purchase a townhome in market commons community because it provided most of the things we were looking for, close to the beach, a sense of community,access to stores and businesses within walking or driving distance. After a year of exploring when we finally decided on belle harbor community there were only a few lots for townhomes left for sale. We were only able to get a unit close to Rt 17 and we were concerned with traffic noise, we are adjusting to the noise and wish lennar had provided more of a setback and more trees and and plantings between our unit and the road. Gregg who was our sales person worked hard to get us the unit and lot that we wanted. Once work started on our unit we received updates frequently. As the work on the unit was close to finished Miguel took over as manager and our whole experience changed as Miguel was in constant communication with us. We hired an outside consultant, Brad did a complete walkthrough of unit and provide a through list of all items that needed to be fixed.Miguel worked closely with Brad and us to see that all deficiencies were corrected, some of them minor and some major items as well. Miguel has continued to follow through with corrections even after closing and to date all issues have been taken care of. Kristen was our mortgage officer and was professional,personable and worked hard to get us the best rate, she continually stayed on to top of issues and helped us through the process. I believe her hard work is what allowed our closing to be timely and efficient. In summation our experience with lennar has been positive and we are having fun moving into our new townhome. ... More

Love the design of the home. But the fit and finish is not the best . The molding work is not good the finish painting is not the best. Seems rushed. Someone should do better in over seeing the finish work..

We had some issues with chipped cabinets. Not the best quality. So far they have been good with resolving. Didn’t find inside up to My standard in cleaning. Our garage floor was not clean. Some neighbors the cleaning staff hosed down. Not ours. Little disappointed with all the garbage, cans , bottles all around from construction. Construction should have pails to throw their garbage in instead of throwing on ground. Great neighbors took the initiative to clean out pond. It should have been done by cleaning staff.

Nice Home for the Price, Quality and Workmanship could be better

Overall my experience with Lennar was good. When I purchased late year in November of 2021, Lennar just acquired Realstar Homes who built most of the homes in the community. One of the issues I had was that Lennar didn’t allow me to choose my own options and decked everything out themselves. Luckily it looks amazing, but I just think it wasn’t cool at the time plus there was no shower door included. The unit itself is very functional and built solid! Not one nail pop have I saw and the floors don’t make that cracking sound when you walk upstairs or upstairs area, that’s usually do to cheap floor boards. ... More
