Lennar Reviews

Buying our new home from Lennar Homes at ***** in La Plata, Maryland, in September 2026 was one of the best things that ever happened to me. Moving is usually a lot of work, especially when you are moving family members from far away. But from our very first meeting until the day we moved in, Lennar was amazing. They were professional, helpful, and truly cared about us. Finding a builder that cares this much is rare, and Lennar went above and beyond every step of the way. The whole process of buying and building the house was clear and easy to follow. The people at Lennar kept us updated on everything. Whenever we had a question, they were right there with an answer. Every part of building the house—from the frame to the final paint—was done with great care and skill. They respected our time and made sure everything was ready just like we wanted. When we finally got the keys in September 2026, the house looked incredible. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and every room is built to last. The layout gives us plenty of space to live comfortably, and the design is both modern and cozy. Plus, the neighborhood in La Plata is so quiet, peaceful, and welcoming. It feels like home the minute you step outside. A great builder doesn't just stop helping once you buy the house. In October 2026, when we needed a few small post-move-in adjustments, Lennar's customer service team was super fast and friendly. The service technicians treated our home with respect and fixed everything quickly. It showed us that Lennar truly stands by their work long after the sale is done. Most importantly, this house is a wonderful, safe place for my family. Moving my 88-year-old mom, Susan, all the way to Maryland to live with my son and me was a big change. Having such a comfortable, modern, and easy-to-live-in home has made her so happy and relaxed. The peaceful atmosphere on Cosmos Court gives us all a wonderful place to enjoy our everyday lives together. Looking back, choosing Lennar Homes was a total success. From the strong build of the house and the quiet neighborhood to the kind customer service and the happiness it brought my family, everything has been wonderful. Lennar gave us much more than just a new house; they gave us a secure, happy start for this next chapter of our lives in La Plata, Maryland. ... More

Everything went smoothly. The few issues discovered in home inspection were fixed immediately. One issue since move and response was immediate. No complaints. Walkthrough was very helpful and informative. Along with the New Home app provided. I would and have recommended this builder. I'm very satisfied with my home.

The home is the BEST! It's not a fancy home and definitely looks and feels builder grade, but it's like an empty canvas, we are able to make it our own to fit our personalities which is one of the things I love about it!! The yard is VERY small but doable for now! I have heard stories about Lennar Homes and I was worried, but I am glad I didn't listen!! Best starter home by far!!

Everything went great with the exception of the Lennar Mortage people. Those people RUINED the home buying experience. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH BAD THINGS about the mortgage group. I would strong recommend not using them.

The beginning process on the sales side was one of the worst experiences I have encountered. To have two agents argue infront of the client is uncalled for and ultimately blew the deal up at earlier in the year. I was reached out to later in the year and things went well with that agent. The only other thing I'd mentioned is how Lennar as a company tends to hold their cards extremely close to their chest and the goal is to get the client to lock in so they are trapped. That made me lose trust in the approach verse a very strong customer service experience. Things got better once they knew I was going to be approved, I was just another number before that part of the process. After approval and moving forward from the sales process, the financing with Stacy went very well as well as emails explaining the process. I felt like that team along with Chris for the construction side began to have my back. Ultimately I'm happy I stuck out the sales process and very happy with the house thus far and construction customer service. This was my experience. ... More

The number of hoops we had to jump through to get financed through Lennar was ridiculous. We have excellent credit ratings and we felt like they nitpicked little things that did not matter. It was the hardest, most time consuming qualifying/closing process we have ever encountered. We had an outside inspection done and had to have it to Lennar by a specific date, and even with meeting our deadline, when we did the walk through a week before closing many of the items that needed to be addressed had not been done. When we did the final walk through an hour before closing some things still had not been addressed. Upon moving in we realized that many little things were not right - cabinets had not been adjusted, refrigerator doors had not been installed properly, the dryer vent hose was not attached properly (we discovered that when we noticed dust flying all over when the dryer was on),all deck planks had not been attached, a dented light in bathroom, and we're still finding things. The house was also filthy - if they paid cleaners they did not do a very good job - we are still cleaning paint splatter off the LVP. We are happy with the responsiveness of the warranty process - the things that need to get fixed are getting done and that department has been on point so far. It's too bad that Lennar has to have a good warranty department - if they slowed down a bit and did it right the first time they would probably save some money. ... More

The construction manager (Justin L.) did a terrible job on follow through, did not deliver on a couple of promises (I was promised a home cleaning on the final walkthrough, this wasn't done, and he stopped responding to me after closing). Some of the things that were "fixed" were done rather poorly, and I have found a gap in the tile that was just filled with caulk behind a door. There were two walls that had to be moved after framing and drywall because they weren't straight. I didn't expect perfection, but it's disappointing that I keep finding things that were obviously noticed and "fixed" in the shoddiest ways possible in the hope they wouldn't be noticed until after closing. ...

Lack of response from builder. Discovered builder waste materials buried in backyard such as nails, wires wood stakes, mesh, dry wall etc. Bath tub framing issues, not secured nails protruding through carpet. Even laminate tiles.

Build quality is very poor. There was a long list of issues with the home that were found by an independent inspector. Even after all those issues were brought to the builders attention not everything was properly fixed. It's very clear that the home was built as quickly as possible with little care for quality because they know you'll just make warranty claims for issues after the purchase

After inspection with the builder, we noticed some new issues with scuffs and dings on the walls. We tagged them with blue tape again builder said that he would come out and have them fixed. When we got our keys and we moved in, the issues were not fixed. Lennar mortgage was difficult to work with. It seemed like there was a never-ending list of conditions that needed to be met and at one point even asked for custody documents, which were irrelevant to the home buying process

Courtney went to CA and would not return my calls and the next person assigned to her job took a whole month to check the right box on the paperwork.

The whole process was a nightmare. The sales rep was ageist against us as younger buyers and kept showing us options less than what we were looking for because she believed we couldn't afford our dream home, even though we qualified for it on top of our previous home. She failed to send us details about the house when we requested them. Anytime we had questions we were made to feel like a burden. After our inspection, certain issues were not addressed or were said to be addressed within the weeks following closing, that never happened. We are still waiting for things to be addressed even over a month past closing. The construction manager was caught in ***** multiple times, and we will be filing and ROC complaint regarding roof trusses not being built with proper equipment even though he assured us it was (inspection proved otherwise). ...

Would not recommend. From the ground the house was built on, to the crappy material and construction, all the way through all the members we dealt with, the ***** and all the way through to *****. Terrible experience.

I give these ratings because of what I was told and what did not happen now left for me the home buyer to deal with. Taylor M. I would love to call out she lied to me and made me believe these issues would be taken care of, as soon as I signed she was no where to be found. Very disappointed in the service or should I say the service I am not receiving. If I had to do it all again it would not be with Lennar. Take a good look before you sign on the dotted line.

Everything was super easy they helped out a lot with everything

I encountered two friction points during the home buying process. First, Lennar Mortgage failed to honor the discount previously agreed upon with their sales team. Second, the underwriting process was disorganized; despite having months to review my initial submissions, the underwriter waited until the final days before closing to issue an excessive surge of last-minute document requests with immediate turnaround expectations.

I was told by the construction supervisor if we had any issues to contact him well after 2 months and numerous phone calls and text messages he refuses to return any type of contact this is ridiculous the screen s on my windows are not even the right size ridiculous

Sales and administrative services are available for answering questions about any questions related to the new construction. At time of closing everything is really easy and smooth. The layout of the villa is very nice and spacious. Make me feel comfortable in my new place.

Our only complaint and we did not address it at the time was that the floors were not very clean. I had to mop a few times to get all the dust and these white specs off the floor both downstairs and the master upstairs. The cleaing ladies could of done a better job. Other than the floors the house was very clean.

Like the house and area. Everyone has been very nice and respectful.

I've had no issues with my entire experience. I've received the necessary support when needed. Thank you for making my home journey a great one.

Rescheduled closing once and tried a second time while we were there to close. They had to have a document that did not exist and wanted me to ***** about it at closing. They finally went on Zillow and verified what they were being told. They started the review an hour prior to second closing attempt. Our documents were complete, realtor(s) were complete. Finance and title were not. Still waiting on a play survey after a month of living in house that was supposed to be included in closing docs.

Extremely Disappointing Experience with Lennar – Buyer Beware! If I could go back and do this all over again, I would seriously reconsider purchasing a home through Lennar. What should have been an exciting experience buying a new home turned into one of the most frustrating, stressful, and disappointing experiences imaginable. Let's start with Viet. Before signing the paperwork, communication was great. Once we signed? He became practically nonexistent. Phone calls went unanswered, communication was terrible, and getting any kind of response was like pulling teeth. However, whenever Viet needed something from us, you better believe our phones would blow up with multiple calls and text messages. Apparently, communication is only important when Lennar needs something from the customer. Once they have your *****, good luck getting the same ***** of attention. Then there's Lennar Mortgage, specifically Nico and Cody. In my experience, they seemed more interested in telling us what we wanted to hear to get us to apply for a loan than providing clear, accurate, and consistent information. Their communication was equally disappointing. I had to repeatedly go above them just to get basic information and answers that should have been provided without a fight. And then came closing day. Imagine showing up to close on your brand-new home only to be told you need MORE THAN $700 in additional funds AND your monthly mortgage payment is going to be $189 HIGHER than expected. Yes, you read that correctly. These numbers were different from the FINAL figures we had been provided just 72 hours before closing. How does a company that sells and finances homes every single day manage to have such significant changes at the closing table? That is not a minor inconvenience. Those are real financial differences that affect a family's budget. Now let's talk about the actual house. Our blue tape walkthrough was scheduled one week before closing. That should have provided plenty of time to address the items we identified before handing over the keys. Apparently not. I showed up the DAY BEFORE closing to check on the house, and NOTHING had been completed. Not a few things missed. Not a couple of minor touch-ups. NOTHING. At 8:00 a.m. on the morning of closing, I was on the phone having to raise hell just to get someone moving on the work that should have been completed days earlier. Instead of enjoying the excitement of closing on our new home, I was having to chase people down and demand that they do their jobs. Lennar then had to scramble to get the house ready, and even then, items were left unfinished and pushed until after we moved in. And here's the best part: WE HAVE NOW BEEN LIVING IN THE HOUSE FOR TWO MONTHS, AND THERE ARE STILL ***** THAT HAVE NOT BEEN COMPLETED. Two months. In a brand-new home. When you purchase a new construction home, you expect a certain ***** of professionalism, organization, communication, and quality control. You certainly don't expect to become the project manager, constantly chasing down employees, escalating issues to management, and making sure people follow through on what they promised. And just to circle back to Viet one more time, because I cannot emphasize this enough: the difference in his communication before and after signing the paperwork was absolutely ridiculous. If he needed something, he had no problem calling and texting repeatedly. But when we needed answers or assistance? Silence. My biggest takeaway from this entire experience is that Lennar seemed far more concerned with getting us under contract and getting us to closing than actually taking care of us as customers. ...

I was not informed that my blue tape walk would be 45 minutes to inspect the entire property prior to my arrival, on the day of the house had mud and dirt throughout the entire house. (There was also a mudd-dobber- wasps nest) stuck to the bottom of a cabinet that also was not removed prior to or after signing after the builder agreed to have their cleaning crews remove). I was told if I could not see a defect from 6 feet away in 'natural light' it passed their standards. I was given wrong information regarding the internet access ports; I was told they would be in every room prior to signing, however this was not the case as the only two locations available were in the master closet and living room. The emergency contacts sheet listed on our kitchen cabinet door are all invalid or not a 24/7 emergency number. When I tried calling I was given an automated machine and told to call back during business hours Monday through Friday. I overall not a great experience to say the least least. ... More

The overall craftsmanship of the home is good. One gripe is the type of paint used for the home. The flat textured paint is easily scuffed and scratched. I feel as though if you are providing blinds that all blinds should be provided with every window. Also, our final walkthrough was a little disorganized. The cleaning service was there and things that were supposed to be repaired or replaced were not done yet. Our realtor and us had to make sure it was done before we went to closing. Which was a slight inconvenience. Other than those hiccups, our experience was very good.
