Lennar Reviews in Wilmington Newark, DE

Seems value for money but actually built quality is bad. Finishing looks nice while delivery, but quality is bad. Fed up with flooring issues all over, hardwood floor or carpet flooring squeaks a lot. Does not feel solid. May be they use cheaper vendors and also bad pre-delivery inspection on Lennar part. Did not expect from this largest builder in the country.

My wife and I purchased a home from Lennar back in October 2019. And we wished we would of done more research. We love our townhome. But it seems lennar utilizes inexpensive and low quality materials.

House itself is wonderful! Buying experience 0/10. Lennar agent was a no show no call at closing. Told me that I had no HOA fees for 2 years. Upon reading the disclosures, I found that this misleading information was due to to me prepaying for them. Closing was delayed which cost me $1200 to extend my lock rate and associated housing fees as the closing was delayed a whole month.

I’m very unhappy to have bought this home in a new community. I moved in on 11/27/2024. - I still today, 1/16/2025, don’t have cable/internet service- for the longest time Xfinity said my address is not on the map, then they didn’t have a permit, then they did, and still waiting on the email to continue; -The Master Bathroom toilet keeps getting stopped up but no other ones in the house. While the toilet is stopped up, I can’t run the faucet for more than 5-10 seconds, nor take a shower, as the water in toilet makes a bubbling sound. If I ran the faucet long or took a shower, the toilet will overflow all over the floor; - In the kitchen and Master Bathroom, the grout is terrible; - Even though the shower doors are closed while taking a shower, water still comes out of the doors and onto the floor a little. - The driveway is too narrow and there’s not a lot of space to get myself and things in and out of the car unless you step on the grass. My driveway is not straight but a slight L-shape and it’s hard to place the car correctly and also backing out. Sometimes, the car goes off the sides as I’m backing out, and on the rocks; - The windows were hard to open all over the house, and I don’t feel they are double-pane as I can feel the air from outside coming in and it’s very cold air in Winter; - The smell of manure is around the area as I’m assuming it’s used to grow the grass- so when I go outside, it’s not a good feeling to smell the air; - The tap water smells like heavy chemical- like chlorine; - The house is not designed right, in that, the water line is in the storage room upstairs, so if someone wants to put in a Water Treatment System it has to go all the way upstairs, and heavy salt bags need to be brought upstairs all the time; - The painting was badly done in the house, and Lennar makes the buyer go around with a worker and put blue tape on all the bad spots. The painting by workers had lots of paint drips, and dents and scratches on walls and frames; - It’s way too hot in the upstairs loft area and very hot in the storage room. No one would be able to sleep comfortably in the guestroom without a window open- and therefore, cold air drifting on the person sleeping. I had the plumbing company “balance” the air / vents in house and they said ALL the vents were closed in the downstairs area. The livingroom, dining room and kitchen is cold, while again it’s hot upstairs, and Master Bedroom has a moderate level of heat; - The back area of house- the concrete area is so small you could hardly fit a nice bigger table and chairs; - A window rattles when wind blows harder and the worker couldn’t find the problem, but I’m still left with the sound; - I don’t like that Lennar worker told me that I have to buy all the filters in storage room furnace area, and change the filters every month due to workers outside creating all the dust and stuff in air, and the filter will be dirty all the time. I don’t feel that I should pay for those expensive filters ever!; - The cabinets in kitchen had so many nicks and dents in them, and the left over look on the surface of the cabinets from cleaning swirls of the cleaning fluid; - There’s not a lot of room in laundry room between the machines and wall for moving around and placing laundry basket in front of the machines; - The flame in the fireplace is not wider and taller - and therefore making it look like a smaller flame in the fireplace- which not a very cozy look; VERY UNHAPPY WITH MY LENNAR BUILDING HOME, and my neighbors are saying they are having a lot of the same problems as myself. ...

NO CONTACT WITH ME IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS SINCE MY COMPLAINTS.....

Run far away. Lennar uses subpar materials and even poorer contractors. So many problems with our new house. And when you call they just lie and deflect. Horrible company. Horrible customer service. The worst experience possible. Buy anything else.

I suggest before you buy a Lennar home, do your research. Unfortunately, I did not and now I’m paying the price.

I have so many problems with my home.

We moved in 3 weeks ago and the air doesn't circulate on the second floor. The HVAC company spent hours here with no resolution. Our neighbors are experiencing the same issue. This has soured our entire experience.

I strongly advise against purchasing from this builder. The quality of construction is subpar, and they cut corners wherever possible. They use the cheapest materials, and additional bedrooms are not even equipped with proper lighting or electrical access for light. Basic necessities like a toilet paper holder are also not provided. Water leaks, particularly in the showers, are a persistent issue. Their portal for scheduling virtual appointments is unreliable, and they frequently close tickets automatically, claiming "no response from the user," even when that's not the case. The lack of accountability and poor customer service make the situation even more frustrating. Overall, there are just too many problems to list, from construction flaws to maintenance issues. Save yourself the headache and avoid this builder at all costs. ... More

A house is a really Big Investment, In this inflated house people are pushing themselves to pay inflated price houses. After Paying High Price, Buyers believe that they will get good quality service and house would worth the money but thats not happening with Copperleaf Lennar. Following are the reasons and examples that proves it - 1) starting with Sales Team, The house price is not fixed and they keep changing the prices and offer different prices to every buyer. Being an really good brand as Lennar, their standards are not maintained very well. For houses they define the prices every time different prices for buyer. Sales Person (i.e. NKLE) which helped is worst person never showed face and called or checked on us after taking the minimum 5% deposit. Always misguided us without sharing the details of the House. Model House AURORA was having a 4th bedroom on 2nd floor but in the one they sold to us had loft room that they informed on the very last day when we were about to sign the purchase. Cash incentives she offered was way less than she offered to other buyers even though i paid 20% down payment. She was always hungry and greedy to take the 5 % deposit, never called us to help us in buying process but always called us to misguide us, i kept asking can we have a basement included model but she never told the plan that few houses more basement would be available, now new buyers are paying same price with basement included. she always on rush to sell the house and kept asking - "can u give 5%, can you give 5 % can u give 5 %" every possible time whenever she calls just keep asking same thing and never helped us to guide in right direction to satisfy what we want. once she sold she never looked back to us on how we doing and if we have any questions. worst sales person i ever met. without asking us on the first visit she thought we dont have realtor and didnt bother to ask, on second met we said we had realtor and we told already that to customer representation on day 1 but she said we told he that we don't have realtor. and she said she will help to guide us but if we would have realtor we could have learned a lot and understood if it would be right to buy this particular house. she never helped us on guiding in right way but all she wanted is 5 % deposit. 2) finishing of the house is not great, though its brand new and under warranty we understand they can fix problems but that takes a while. the good finish house is expected from Lennar but this is not a good finish house like it supposed to have, the color paints under windows are not nicely done, stairs are getting break., vynl floor is making noise every time we walk. never cleared us that there will be rain water drainage in front of house will be open which is never informed us and only told us when we asked after closing day. houses are getting build so fast that itself tells how good the quality would have been maintained. 3) Mortage from Lennar plays a very nice game, due to cash incentives we are bound to take mortage from them only on the rates that they have monopoly on. outside lenders were giving me 6.75% but i was given 7% and they didnt match it . they said this is what it is bec they knew they are giving cash incentives from builder so buyer will take mortage from them only. 4) Quality inspection doesnt know anything, she just walks in and talk nicely. inspection was never done properly as the wiring issues we found out after moving in, the appraisal of the house was never done properly and they just did it with couple house around and not using a truth table. 5) after moving in we realize tons of problems. and now seeing every new buyer is getting better price then what we was offered. they are not maintaining a standard disciplined rate. they keep slashing 50k 70 k sometimes 80k and when we asked to do that to us and reduce some price during negotation they did nt. buyer like me are ok to pay the price but when we realzied its not the worth of money to pay for and Lennar being a bigger brand keep slashing prices for near by house it itself means its a worst quality build. my only feedback to them - ask for what it worth for, build a good quality home, remove the poor sales team and have a genuine sales person and not like NCKLE who only wants to misguide buyers. ...

Horrible experience would never buy another Lennar home poor quality. Customer service is the worst. Employees change every few months. Speaks a lot about the company and management.
