Lennar Reviews in San Antonio, TX

The house was very dirty on move in. Floors, inside and outside of all cabinets and carpets were very dirty. Caulking at baseboards was very sloppy throughout house. It looks terrible. Management of contractors was poor which led to long delays due to failed inspections of power and gas connections into house. I have had many new homes. This was the worst exoerience on a home build

I really like our house and love the location and community I will in.

I was told I would get two walkthroughs before closing, I only got one so I didn’t see that the fence gate was on the wrong side of the house, no one told me that they only put grass down 20 feet from the back of your house so I have a good 10 feet of mud when it rains, wasn’t aware fence would not encompass the back door area. Read everything and ask the questions that you may think are stupid

Sales rep was nice but not very knowledgeable

The entire team provided Exceptional Customer Service with the utmost respect ,

My experience with Lennar wasn’t the best. The buying process was very stressful and underwriting was the worst. I have bought other homes from builders in the past and the process was smooth. But Lennar was ridiculous requesting the same documents over and over again. To me it was lazy on their part. Then we move into our new home you would think that they would have cleaned it for the new home owner. Absolutely not paint drops on the floor,sticky substance on floors that you have to get down and scrub by hand. Very frustrating you buy a new home and you walk into a home that is dirty

We recently moved into our new home in Waterwheel–Coastline/Hilltop in San Antonio. The sales and closing process was generally organized, and communication during that phase was clear and supportive. However, there were serious issues that should not be overlooked. While we were still under contract, there was an attempt to release or offer the property to another buyer. This is not a minor misstep—it reflects a significant breakdown in internal coordination and created unnecessary stress during an already critical process. Post-closing, my experience with the warranty team has continued to be frustrating. There appears to be a pattern of deflecting responsibility, with concerns being dismissed or attributed to the homeowner without thorough or objective evaluation. This lack of accountability is disappointing, especially considering the expectations that come with purchasing a new construction home. While the initial sales experience was positive, both the pre-closing incident and the warranty handling have impacted my overall confidence. I hope these concerns are taken seriously and addressed to improve the experience for future homeowners. ... More

Home was not move in ready. Too many workmanship issues. Plaster, concrete and paint stains on garage and back patio. Paint stains on floors. Interior was not clean.

I had a very fast and efficient experience overall with Lennar. I was connected with multiple representatives throughout the process, and I especially want to highlight David in the New Braunfels location he is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and continues to be helpful even after the purchase by answering any questions I have. Ethan, the construction manager, was also very welcoming and supportive throughout the process. That said, there were a few areas that could definitely be improved. During the approval process, communication felt disconnected. Much of the process was handled online, and documents were often uploaded for signature with little to no explanation just a quick message asking me to sign. For something as important and complex as buying a home, more guidance would have been helpful. Closing was another area that lacked personal interaction. Aside from the notary, there wasn’t really anyone present to walk through the documents, which contained a lot of detailed financial information. It felt like we were expected to fully understand everything on our own, even though this isn’t our area of expertise. Thankfully, my realtor was there and did her best to explain things, but I strongly believe a loan officer should be present and actively involved during closing. On a positive note, the warranty department has been very responsive and quick to address and resolve any issues. Overall, a good experience with some important opportunities for improvement especially in communication and customer support during key moments like approval and closing. ... More

The closing process lacked so much communication between builder and lender; lender trying to get me to do actions that were not possible due to builder had not completed their part. In comparison between Lennar and DR Horton, to me the materials aren't much difference... price difference of $68k less and Lennar being 100sq ft more. I bought the home built as is. I do prefer Lennar's floor plans. I believe it's a good 1st home purchase based on price, construction, location and potential in value to grow in the next 5-10 years. Be sure to have a good realtor.

This is my second home purchase. My first was a D.R. Horton home. The price point is what ultimately led me to purchase this one; however, if D.R. Horton had been available, I would have chosen them again. While I understand that costs have increased, the materials used in these homes feel very cheap. The flooring is probably the worst I’ve seen, and the tile and bathroom selections could have been much better. There’s also no exterior lighting on the garage, and the paint quality is extremely poor. Overall, I just think they could have done a much better job with the materials and finishes.

It was kind of a mixed experience dealing with Lennar. I guess in this day and age, so much is electronic and that could be an issue for older, not so tech savvy folks. That was a struggle, especially since our move was from over 200 miles from the new home. Overall the home itself is great and so far andthe HOA seems to be a decent one... Again, so far. Quality of the build and materials is good. One major issue is the landscape company that put in the sod. Get another source of a landscape company because the job done on the sod for this home(and many others in the neighborhood) was really unacceptable. Preparation of the land was terrible and weeds shot out of it immediately. We were told the landscaping would be levelled, but was done hurriedly and not a good job. Someone may get injured because of the uneven, bad job laying the sod. And only 15 ft. from the back of the home??? The sod company shorted ours by 3 ft. and still refused to go to the fence when I offered to pay the difference. When they laid the missing sod, it was already dead and most has not come back to life after a month. All 4 trees they planted have died. How does Double H landscaping stay in business? And their customer service is so rude and condescending. Response from Lennar on a couple minor warranty issue has been timely so far. It's too bad that Lennar doesn't offer certain items that could be installed, even at a cost: such as blinds, ceiling fans, or a spray faucet for the kitchen sink. ... More

Problem with closing disclosure was not fixed until the last minute despite calling their attention to it several times weeks before closing.

You definitely get what you pay for. After having several professionals come out to look at certain things, I get the same outcome. Lennar uses the cheapest materials and will do whatever to save money on their end. A bit disappointed after only living here for less than three months. There’s paint on the floors throughout the house and even on the carpet in the bedrooms. The glue that was used for the flooring is smeared throughout the hallways and it looks terrible. Still trying to find something to remove that without ruining the floors. I have found a couple of blue tape spots that were not addressed. An example, there are staples that are not completely pushed in around the door but were painted over. Looks terrible. After this experience, all I have to say is that if you’re looking for a cheap home, Lennar is the place to go with! I can only imagine the issues I’ll have later on. ... More

After the close communication was lacking. Multiple messages on the portal and no responses. Called directly as was directed to a supervisor, rhat just went to an answering system. Human contact is difficult person to person. Electronic contact breaks down when people are no longer with the company and the client is not aware.

Probably from the beginning working with the sales rep that did the application process with me. After we finish the transaction, the next day switched properties and I could never get a hold of him again it was a terrible experience on his part. The home had a lot of issues and I had to get an inspection twice because they weren’t all completed on the first go round so it cost me double to get it inspected. The day before my closing, the construction manager took care of the roof and the paint on the house and some other issues we walked through before I moved in. TY, the construction manager, did a great job that day making me feel more comfortable about buying the home. It was very stressful during the purchase period as the deposit didn’t clear and again the sales rep was nonresponsive, and he was the only one who can get me back to the deposit website. I think the total overall issue I had was with the sales rep being non-responsive. And then to think that you have to go back-and-forth and back-and-non-responsive and complain until somebody listens It’s unbelievable. I wasn’t fond of the customer care team member, Hanah I felt she was short and didn’t wanna be bothered I never felt like she listened. I felt she put me off. Kevin, the cust care team member that handled the walkthrough was great to work with as well. The closing team was great and Jeremiah on the loan side was terrific too. Great communication on his part. The warrant team has been great so far as well. ... More

I can honestly say my first time home buying purchase didn't go as well planned. My loan officer was horrible at communicating. If I never reached out to her she would probably have never called me etc. the lady who showed us the houses stopped talking to us after she knew we were going to be purchasing the home. The communication was poorly all around. Joshua the construction manager was amazing and Brandon the warranty manager was also very helpful. Over the home is what I wanted and 2 months in no issues have been raised.

Let me start but saying I love my house and location! The sales agent was great and very friendly! The mortgage side is 10 out of 10! Very easy, responsive and very nice. The construction team is horrible. Late to every meeting if they showed up at all. Didn’t fix all the items on my pre closing walk. It was cosmetic but still wasn’t fixed. The house closed without grass. It’s been 45 days since closing and still do not have grass. Mind you it has rained some but they do not respond to canceled start dates or follow up. I text them with no response. I love my house and don’t regret a thing but constriction team has to go! I don’t mean the actual builder guys because they seem to be good! I mean the supervisors. ...

This is my 2nd Lennar home and it does not measure up to my previous experience. I paid more for my current home and received less perks. The construction was also rushed and I have been experiencing problems. Granted the Customer Service team is quick to reply, I am just not excited when I find additional issues to report.

I wasn’t told that only primer was painted on the walls therefore I would need to paint the whole inside of the house. The house didn’t come with towel racks in the bathroom. The house floors were not clean. I had questions during closing but couldn’t ask any because they made me do my closing online and by law the lady couldn’t answer any questions. They put a mandatory tree in the backyard which only goes out 10ft. If this tree grows big the roots are going to mess up the foundation. Also, the grass they put down was already dead leaving several people with brown grass.

There was workers on the house after closing, the carpet on one of the bedrooms had stain that never was clean up properly, the electric company took long time to respond for eléctricas issues. Del hoyos did a good job.

Don’t rush into the purchase. Know the HOA rules before committing to the purchase. Example. Trash can screen was required for home without garage but was not told that by the realtor or sales rep. The screen costs an additional $500.

I want to start off with a few positives, the house is nice and spacious, the neighborhood looks and seems nice. (Still waiting on amenities). The home buying process for me was pretty awful. The sales agent was very attentive until I submitted an application. He did advise me that I’d hear from the loan officer the next morning (it was a Sunday, no big deal). After three days of not hearing from anyone, I began sending messages to the sales agent, and within the Lennar mortgage portal (I uploaded all of the required docs based on what was recommended within the application process). Finally received a very brief call acknowledging they have my application. I basically heard nothing else until I reached out again a few weeks later asking if I am approved and how I disliked this process. I received a fairly quick response stating I had my new home owners meeting the next day (they never asked if I was available nor said I was approved). Completed that walk through with whom I thought was a stranger. (Wasn’t the name I was given but she was nice). After another week and a half of silence I reached out yet again asking what’s going on and if I’m approved. Finally got a response saying oh yes, you’ve been approved for weeks, you close in less than 48 hours. That was an extremely stressful process and trying to put a rush on transferring money from one account to another to play my downpayment with title was also stressful. The signing process was done virtually. The title agent never reached out to me I ended up having to bring more to closing because the LO never informed the title company that I paid my earnest money the day I completed my application. (I did receive a refund about a week later). Once I completed my closing, I ran to get my key (they only offer a 15 min key pick up window of time) and low and behold, they had no idea I closed on my loan. Waited more than an hour for them to tell me they don’t have any keys for me. And the construction manager will have to have some made. My entire car was filled with household items (thought I was moving in) , so the agent at the leasing office kindly let me in. Once I got inside I found a window was open and the lock was busted off of it, and the bathroom vanity’s front face fell off onto my foot and busted open my toes. I hope others have better experiences. But this was almost a complete nightmare. ... More

Home is not senior friendly. Doors are not wide enough to get appliances in without taking apart Doors leak at corners the stuff you call sod looks like it came out of a cow Pasteur you have a long way to go to call yourself a good home builder. Ron

My experience was very average
