Del Webb Reviews

Many lay-outs to choose from although there were no apartment models available for viewing when I purchased my apartment in Building 1.

If you order the standard Whirlpool dishwasher, expect your contents to be only partially dry, even with the high temp dry and a rinse aid. A whirlpool technician sent to correct the problem attributes it to plastic materials instead of steel. They can't achieve a complete dry.

Love my new home and am very pleased with it. Have found a few minor issues with our new home but they were either quickly fixed or we fixed them ourselves. Truly believe it is a great benefit to be close while the house is being built and check on it at least once a week. We found several issues during the building that were quickly fixed. If they had not been pointed out by us would they have been caught in time to fix or caught at all? It appears at times that the subcontractor is more concerned with just completing the task and moving on the next house vice actually caring for the quality of his work. ... More

Compared to the Del Webb communities in Wickenburg and Rio Verde this is a steal.

Good value.

Extremely nice quality and very professional construction process and crew. Not over impressed with the HOA. They are not pro homeowner and a bit rude. Overall I am happy with the quality of the home.

Everything was excellent, above standard EXCEPT floor tiles. We have at least a dozen hollow tiles that are not covered by warranty and four that are uneven one cracked and three that move when you walk on them

We were so excited when we heard that Del Webb would be building in our community so we waited and were one of the first ones to purchase here. The building process was exciting as we met with our sales associate, and visited the design center, to make our choices and design our dream home. It was fun to be able to drive by during the off construction times to check on the progress of our home. Our project manager was awesome and kept us up-to-date on the activity as well as providing walk throughs during the build. If we had any concerns, he was always very prompt in responding. We moved in in late February and we couldn't be happier with our home. Thanks Del Webb! ... More

I bought my home from the phone. I am from another state, however, my realtor and the sales agent were fantastic. I made a lot of calls and they had a lot of patience. If you are lucky enough to select upgrades make sure you think everything through.

Understand you contract before you buy.

We love the house, except . . . the concrete work is shoddy. The garage floor has a rough section near the wall. Additionally, patches were required closer to the center of the floor, which a friend told me was caused by the carpenters placing two by fours used for bracing the walls into the wet concrete floor. Also, the patio had pockets required patches. And, the side of the driveway has chipped sections.

Was an excellent experience while house was being built. Chad our supervisor was excellent. The workers seemed to take care of any and all things. I do have an issue with the landscape people. Once they put in a very sparse space and problems came up they ignored all my needs to fix the items that had problems. I had to pay someone outside to take care of the problems. Lastly - The response on fixing things after we owned the house is less then adequate.

Over all, we are very satisfied with the building process of our Del Webb home. If I had to make a critique I would say that given the 55 and over age range of the community, there are some things that could be a little more age friendly within the home, and I would have like to have seen a little more flexibility in the finishes selection process. Examples: I wanted the microwave moved to the lower cabinet next to the fridge and I wanted the white subway tile but with gray grout. They could do neither of those.

Everyone we dealt with was very professional and super helpful. Throughout the process we were kept in the loop the entire time. Our home was completed ahead of schedule which definitely was a plus!

The Monotony law prohibited us from having the colors we originally picked for our house exterior, and caused us to repaint our house to a color we did not like. When the bushes were removed from the back of our house it revealed a retention pond with muddy water that was not visible when we purchased the lot. Features in model we selected were not available: lighting, chrome fixtures..

Haven't been here long enough to give a full review. Been here 3 weeks and they are coming back to tear out my shower pan "While I'm Living Here" and replacing it because it is installed wrong. Hopefully the rest of the house is ok. Time will tell.

The options list is very confusing. I missed a critical one because the language is too vague. ASK about every option you want. Have your sales rep point it out to you so you can recognize it on the printout you sign.

A building superintendent JL was a pleasure to work with. After closing he still took responsibility four items that weren't perfect. The warranty person assigned to me, Johnny, appears to be very knowledgeable.

The house is well built, but has one design flaw. The furnace room and the laundry room should be reversed. That way hot water would flow quicker to the master bath room and to the kitchen area. Right now it takes a full 2-3 minutes to get hot water to the master bath sinks ( complaint from other homeowners also) After the hot water has been shut off for more than 3 minutes we have to wait again a full 2 minutes to get hot water.We are wasting a lot of water with the set-up we have now. The laundry room would be the same distance from the water heater, so no adverse change there. The only adverse effect would be the front bath would have a long time getting hot water, but this room is used the least. ... More

I will certainly encourage friends to buy a home in SCP.

I was very disappointed at the finishing of my home. The mudding around the light switches has gaps and the home was painted with the light plates on. There is paint on the door hinges and thresholds. The baseboards need repainting. The window frames and sliding doors have paint on them. No eye for detail.

The final price was a bit of a surprise. All the options add up really fast and some items we thought should have been included were not included or were not even offered. For the cost we felt closets should not be wire shelves, but should at least be wood, and a pot filler was not an option. The floor plans and style of homes are great and the purchase process was very well organized.

Overall I’m very happy with my new home and with the community. Del Webb’s home design baths the interior with natural light and their planning/layout of this community allowed for plenty of natural space. My sales experience wasn’t great, however my GC (Nate) was amazing!! The grading of the lot (water management) and the quality of the build are very good. That said, some of the tradesmen could have done a better job. I hired a home inspector pre-closing and really wish I would have also hired an inspector at the framing stage as some of my neighbors did. Overall, the amenities are nice and the community is nice to walk in. What you won’t learn until after closing is that homeowners must pay additional fees for exercise classes and (for several classes) if you’re not poised at your computer the moment sign-up opens you won’t get in. The dog park is just a fenced area under power lines that couldn’t have been used for anything else. It’s a low area where rainwater runs and is already becoming muddy, plus no running water/water fountain and no equipment aside from benches. All of that said, the residents here are wonderful!! The neighborhood layout/design is lovely!! My home feels spacious with ample storage and is filled with natural light. I would recommend this community. ... More

Caleb and Steve, onsite project managers were superior to work with, Our concerns were addressed with no issues. One major issue at least to me was the distance of the HW heater to the bathrooms and kitchen. I was told had never been an issue well it is. It takes forever to get HW to the kitchen sink and bathrooms. The Rinnai could have been located 25 to 30ft further down the side of the bldg closer to the source of use. Also, there is no protectove sleeve at grade level that I see protecting the water pipe from the Rinnai, my concern would be a string trimmer ripping into it.
