Lennar Reviews in Los Angeles, CA

The craftsmanship and workmanship of value compared to the price I paid is very disappointing

We love the home just there was poor communication.

Overall I’m happy I went with lennar, trying to work with lennar mortgage was a complete nightmare. So I ended up going with a different mortgage company.

Smart home, smarter designer. I like the way they think for all details using in these homes.

From the start it was difficult bought a lot put our deposit down and a few weeks later we were told that we lost out lot to a cash buyer ! When we decided on another lot we had sold our house and had cash available ! The lending experience was a night mare ! We had a great realtor and helped us but it was right up to the end that they wanted several documents that had been given before ! The communication was not good and the follow up was very slow ? It was very aggravating and nerve racking the entire way !!

For the price of this home, the attention to detail should have been greater. The amount of paint splattered and uneven texture and cracks in the caulking is sloppy. I found beer cans in my closet during one of my walk throughs. I have permanent suction cup markers on my counter tops and stains on my UPGRADED wood floors from careless installation. I love the design of my home but the crappy workmanship is very noticeable and disappointing.

Love the home and the layout but the devil and the details definitely made the ownership process a bit lackluster. I had a ton of post-closing repairs (minor to medium) that still aren't complete. The good thing is no one is pushing back on the repairs it's just the sense of urgency you would home for a brand new home.

The experience was like I was purchasing a home using the sellers agent to represent me and the agent's primary concern was in the interest of the seller not mine.

Overall I’m happy with my decision to buy here. The construction manager is AMAZING!! Nick! I mean, I cannot say enough great things about him and his overall support. My experience was however tainted by Christine the sales person. She was rude, distasteful in the way she spoke to me and my realtor.

All was fine leading up to purchase.Once purchased, your just another number. Slow response to issues. In my case, main issue was quartz counter, peaked at main joint, said it was normal. Interior paint is very cheap. One wipe and your removing paint. Sliding glass lock mechanism is too hard to even open. Hung my own window treatments, nothing is square. Cheap appliances, refrigerator has no capacity. All in all, cheaply built home.

The overall quality of home is good, the community is not, the landscaping in front of the house is lacking adequate plant material and the community slopes are a disaster. By not making your community improvements a priority (rec centers, slopes, front yard landscaping, street lights, sidewalks) you have and continue to impact your reputation and I would have to assume your sales. Also, the entrance gates do not appear to be designed to control foot traffic, Not sure if this is by design or not. I will need to review your EIR and conditions of approval.

At first I was impressed with the spaciousness of my condo. I was please with the value for the money spent. Now as things go wrong and I'm notice and report to Lennar for repairs, I feel that the quality of construction is superb but the quality of the subcontractors leaves much to be desired.

The value of the home is decent for CA. The walls are super thin. I was told I wouldn't hear neighbors as that was my concern with a condo style home. I hear every sound including garages and the closing of doors. I am happy with my home, but wish I'd known what to be prepared for.

My experience buying my new and first home was a little more stressful than I expected. I was pressured to move in before everything in my house was completely ready and fixed. Now I am still working on getting everything fixed 2 months later and still have to take time out of my schedule to be around for painters, repair people, drywallers, etc. when this should have all been taken care of before I even got my keys and moved in. Also every time I put a request in for a repair they make me schedule a virtual visit where I show the issue and then they let me schedule someone to come out. I think that is fine for certain problems; however, for more simple or straightforward issues I think that is honestly a waste of time considering I am a single homeowner and have a full time job. ...

Don't expect to walk into a perfect home. The builders needed to pay closer attention to the details. I've had a lot of issues. Wrong door handles, non working garage lights, leak in the pipe, uninstalled hoses and unleveled doors. It's frustrating to address all of these issues with different departments.

The house looked perfect from inside out but when we started living we found so many issues from day one. All three bathroom toilets had cracks on different areas and took almost 2 months to replace all three of them. Master bath tub faucet was dripping for a month even though they tried to fix it couple of times. Finally they figured out that it was installed wrong way and came up with a decision to cut the tub and fix it. We have another big issue with ants, it seems the house is built on top of ant hill. For the past 4 months we are struggling with army of ants that come out in the kitchen from behind cabinets and power sockets, in the bathroom from behind mirrors, and power sockets. We finished 2 one gallon ant killer and bought another gallon yesterday. Coyotes and crows are another issue. Starting 1-2 am coyotes start making noises and disturbing our sleep, starting 5:00-5:30 am crows start their noises. This is really annoying and frustrating, we never expected this much frustration. The city needs to do something about coyotes at least. For future building new houses my recommendation would be to put a door in master bathroom. We have to lock the master bedroom door in order to take a shower because the builder or designer decided that there’s no need to put a door in the master bedroom leading to bathroom. If I need to get something from master bedroom I have to wait till my husband finishes his shower. Hope all these issues are taken into consideration for future houses. ... More

Ask about parking - rules and regulations Make sure you get HOA rules s d regulations

Since the close only one Lennar employee (Fidel) seems to genuinely care about the customer experience. I’ve had direct experience with 4 Lennar employees. As a former business executive of multi-national companies in the service delivery and customer experience business, and judging from a customer experience perspective, I would promote 1 of the 4 (Fidel), fire 1 of the 4, and put the other 2 on performance improvement plans. Which, by the way, Lennar needs as I believe the issue is systemic within the culture of Lennar. This is the 9th home I’ve purchased and the 6th new home, I would rate my overall experience with Lennar as mediocre. Not the worst, but very far from the best. If you ask me whether I’d buy another home from Lennar, my answer would be ‘no.’ ... More

Honeywell thermostat & Ranni water heater are not connecting with app or button devices, I was told that Lennar stop providing the devices to make such connections.

I was a cash buyer. I wasn't happy with working with Title company. Customer care after purchase was very disappointed. There was fuse breaker issue with Refrigerator. I requested 5 times and ask sales rep then they finally contact me to fix it. My wooden floor got water damage due to late fix. Water filter in refrigerator leaked due to fuse keeps pop out and ice maker turned off and leak waters on the floor. I have been purchased new home more than 5 times, Lennar was very unprofessional.

quality control is poor. too many things need to be fixed after moved in. It’s very time consuming.

We love Lennar’s everything’s included with nicer appliances, countertops, cabinets, whole house fan, ring doorbell, smart lock, garage door, thermostat, etc. However, we discovered a leak in our kitchen island a month after moving in caused by the builder’s carelessness which has caused major inconveniences for us and has taken over a month to fully repair the damage.

The builder included the appliances and it is a smart home!

Fast built but works are not neat. We got crooked attachment plugs, hole in front porch, no shower seal, paints that are already coming off, creaked doors. High ceiling is a plus but still hear people upstairs stomping and moving around so loudly. Thin walls, we can hear people walking upstairs next to our unit. Sales person, loan officers, and customer service are very professionals and answer to all our questions.

We were very happy with Lennar when we bought the home and especially our sales agent , Hyatt, but post closing the customer service has been slow, unresponsive and low quality. A number of major issues were incomplete on close and to date have not been resolved. We are frustrated!
