Lennar Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

The homes are nice but quality and attention to detail is not great. The paint on the outside of the homes is so poor quality it already looks like they needs to be re-painted. In a few years the neighborhood won't look good if homeowners don't paint. The builder could at least put gravel down the walk way so it is not mud, which is causing homeowners to leave their garbage cans in the front yard. The common areas are not maintained, weeds over a foot tall in the parks and greenbelts. There are a lot of little things that add up to a lot of aggravation.

The home is alright but not great. If you want to mix and match you can forget that idea. Lennar has specific color schemes you can choose from, but you cannot take an item of a specific color scheme and then a different item from another color scheme and combine them to create a color scheme that suits your individual needs. The interior paint color of home will be white and only white. For the majority of your home it will be a flat white that cannot be cleaned. If you try and clean it, the paint comes off the walls. In the "wet areas" it is semi gloss white. So when you walk through the models and see two-tone paint that is just an illusion, it is not an option. The painters rush through the job, we are still scraping paint off of the floors. When we first moved it we thought the house looked great, but after living in it for a few months, we are starting to see things that look like they just rushed through it so the could get onto the next one. ...

Frustrated with response to issues. Took two weeks to get damage from leak fixed. Having some plumbing issues and dishwasher hits stove door when opened. Love the location

Awesome up front but afterwards very poor

Had difficulty signing in to Lennar trak. Tried half a dozen times.

We love our home. We love the Next-Gen aspect. However, we have had electrical issues, cabinet doors instead of being replaced when drilled wrong, painted over and flipped around. Backyard littered with trash...not just construction materials you would expect. Interior floor a mess when we moved in with adhesive left on it. Some of the outlets look like they are puckered out of the wall. I tired of typing things...

Lennar stands by their homes. I had some issues yet they resolved them. It took a lot longer than I wanted yet it’s done now and I love my home

My Lennar experience was mixed. I love the house and community but Lennar didn’t make the process easy. I made the deal last October when the lot was being graded. It took Lennar almost 8 months to complete the house and I could never get a straight answer about the work schedule. The main problem is that Lennar uses the old “good cop” / “bad cop” approach to customer service (I’ve changed the names of all Lennar staff). There were two sales guys involved, I’ll call Joe and Moe. Joe is a genial frat boy type while Moe is his dour counterpart. Joe handed me off to Moe whenever a complicated issue came up, and then would pop up again like a Hobbit. There were two construction managers Harry and Larry. Same drill: Harry was the crusty and genial guy in pickup truck and Larry the enforcer. There was a serious “mistake” made in that inferior cabinets were installed, which I discovered six weeks before closing. It took until closing to resolve and it was never clear if this was an honest mistake or an intentional deceit. I ended up having to accept lower grade cabinets than I paid for, due to closing. After closing, I got Baby Bill, a young guy with a bad attitude and eventually the area construction manager, Smiling Will. There’re several unresolved issues which I’m waiting for Smiling Will to resolve, including a potential credit for the cabinet fiasco. While Lennar Title was great, I’d never use Lennar Mortgage again: the loan officer was rude, unresponsive, and arrogant. Still, all’s well that end’s well. Lennar is no different than other merchant builders so assume you’re essentially dealing with a giant car dealership and act accordingly. ... More

We've been in the house for about 5 months and love it. Unfortunately we have an ongoing problem with customer support and warranty "after move-in" communications and scheduling. We have a laundry list of things that have either broke or need finishing work and communication with the Lennar project manager and our sales contact has been very poor. They rarely respond to my texts or calls and in the rare instances when contractors do show up they appear at my door with no warning of arrival so some are missed because we're not home. I've repeatedly requested getting the schedule in advance and have had no response from anyone about it. One of our neighbors has been waiting more than 6 months for follow-up work so apparently this is an issue with more than just us. Extremely unsatisfied. Caveat emptor -- let the buyer beware. ...

there were too many details incomplete, their work has so many fault

Countless items left to be fixed at a later time. Warranty work takes forever

Hope to see it in a few months

My home was purchased through Cal Atlantic but finalized with Lennar. We chose a Chef Kitchen and we selected the granite counter top for our home. The vendor chose defective granite for me to select and gave me the impression the spots could be buffed out. To my surprise the spots remain I had the situation noted the answer I received was not what I expected . (I chose the granite and sign the form) I attempted to have the situation ruled in our favor a second time and received the same answer. I even offered to buy a different granite on the warehouse floor I was told Dale Title only sold to developers. If I could get my cash payment refunded we would move as soon as possible. ... More

Overall buying experience was good, people were very nice and professional. Customer service is very slow at getting things done and some things that were really important to get replaced I’ve been denied. Not very happy about that when I haven’t even been in my house for 30 days yet. Like the community, everyone is friendly and nice.

This is our second Lennar home and this one is quite poor compared to our first. Our home was well buiult but the finsih stuff - flooring, painting, grouting, cabinets looked like they were odne by a 5 year old and the place was filthy when we moved into it. We still have unresolved issues but you have good construction managers who do follow through. I'll never buy another Lennar home and the worst of it is it too almost 10 months to get a product that was quite disappointing.

Quick build. Sloppy job site. Not enough info about hoa or builder.

The quality of the house is not what I would expect for 1/3 mill. I have cracks in the walls and ceiling. The yards are so small you can’t store you garbage cans in the back. So my two car garage must lose a slot for the garbage. HOA is expensive. Smart house electronics seem to be beta versions (Not ready for prime time) water quality is borderline unhealthy can’t really recommend

To sum it up, we are still waiting on our 30 day walk through issues to be rectified. It’s now been 7 months. Typical car salesman support. They sell you a house and then they are gone.

First off, the sales team was wonderful and the buying process was great outside of one upgrade we requested that was blown off and ignored. The construction team however has been a pain to deal with. The initial QC walkthrough seemed pretty good but there are now issues that we keep finding and issues that were noted during our walkthrough still have not been addressed at all, two months later (as of this review). I work in construction myself so I know all the "pandemic issues" but that excuse can't be used for everything. I've heard from neighbors that they all have various issues as well, similar or even worse than our experience. Lennar is very clearly failing to hire competent and quality contractors. ... More

Not a great experience overall.

Would not recommend at all if you are a 1st time homeowner.

As title what I mentioned

Post-ownership service has been great. Pre-ownership service was non-existent, therefore the low rating. The fact that we received one plat map that had been revised, but we weren't given a copy of the revision for over a month was cause for a law suit, which we elected not to do. They moved the foundation 4 feet which caused us to have to knock down a wall and move the a/c unit to bring equipment into the back yard for a pool build (at our expense). When asked before framing was completed, if the gate and a/c unit could be moved to the now "short side", we were told no. When asked if we could pay to have the garage insulated at the time of insulation, we were told no. There was no customer support prior to us taking ownership. As to quality? Painters need to be fired and who grouts in baseboards? ... More

Make sure you know what you are getting into !!!!

We worked with a realtor and our own outside mortgage broker so buying was not an issue and everything went very well. I would love to give Lennar a great rating, however we are 6 months into our new home and still have not had work completed from our 45 day review. We had to have windows replaced because they were broken during building process. The workers came to replace the windows and installed new ones but left smudge fingerprints and palm prints on them that require a 20 ft ladder to reach for cleanup. We have green tape stick on high ceilings that was left during the building process. When the gutters were installed, the installer broke another window and that has not been replaced yet either 6 months later. The grout in the kitchen on the backsplash is crumbling and disappearing and that began on day 5 after moving into our new home. 2 weeks in, the caulking around the bathrooms in the home is splitting and pulling the base away from the wall—I am aware that this will eventually do this after living in a home after a while, but not 2 weeks of living in NEW home . There is tile floor in the kitchen that is cut off too short leaving a gap between it and the cabinet in a very noticeable location and our friends and family have all pointed it out to us at different times during their visits. Last, our backyard is flooding every time it rains and we have a 3-5in pond that takes weeks to dry up before we can walk back there without sinking into the dirt deeply. We have been waiting on the fix for this for 5months and we have been told the yard is graded properly but that the drain needs to be set lower so that water drains properly. In the meantime, we can’t finish and enjoy our backyard. Response time for service and questions is extremely poor. ... More
