Lennar Reviews in Jacksonville St. Augustine, FL

I truly like the everything included concept as there are no pricing add ons/surprises. The house is trust to move in ready with blinds and ceiling fans. Just add groceries, friends and furniture! This is my 2nd Lennar home and I am happy to recommend them to anyone.

Fit and finish just not what it used to be. This isn't just Lennar, it's all of the homes being built today. The subs are not craftsmen of old, they tend to just do sloppy work and never check their work. Why should the homeowner have to find all the little "presents" left behind by the subs???

The builder had a very average finish. We had to rework it several times before the final walk-through. Since our support person (Mr.Mark) was very kind we were able to get a lot of stuff done after the closing by raising tickets. We are still not done with our home, the tub, there is a crack in it, something we were not able to see clearly during the final walk-through. Also Lennar a billion-dollar company should reiterate through their sales team several times about what is NOT included in the "All inclusive" home. For example we were hastily shown some things like the back blinds ,were not included, or even the lights for the home were not included, I think these things should be highlighted and an option provided for the customer to purchase such options. I do understand and respect that Lennar might have its own reasons, but the option to exercise should exist for the customer. I will happily confess that we were indeed provided everything except for the back blinds, and I am very grateful to Mr.Mark for his persuasion with his organization to satisfy all our needs especially in sight of the fact that we were almost out of funds after the closing. Overall we are very happy, but the paint job, the finishing near the edges of the walls and such other, have been slightly below satisfactory. I can even run it by one of your professionals if they have time. I thank you for this opportunity to provide feedback, I couldnt do this sooner as I was away on vacation. ... More

Overall have been very pleased with Lennar. I’ve had homes built in the past and this is the best experience I’ve had. Response to issues has been excellent. I’m especially pleased with the LENNAR team I’ve worked with. I do have a complaint. I have some dead bushes and trees and my sprinkling system is not functioning but LENNAR says it’s not their issue and the landscape people say it’s a LENNAR issue. Nothing is getting done and more bushes are dying. Plus I’m trying to water with a hose which is costing me extra money and time. Can someone work with the landscaper and get my irrigation system fixed and dead trees and shrubs replaced? ... More

House is nice. A lot to pull together to make it perfect. Lennar has been very good at warranty fixes.

Lennar homes are undoubtedly beautiful with first class materials. Unfortunately there is a markedly disconnect in the quality control and some workmanship. It is understandable that inevitably there will be some issues with a new home, but most of us in Dorado are in agreement that the issues we have been facing are not becoming of half million dollar homes. Many of our issues have come down to outright LACK of quality control. In one case the only thing that needed to be done to see the problem was to look up at the wall. I am very happy with the response from the team that addresses these issues, Overall I am and will be a Lennar customer for life; with just a tiny bit of effort these can be the best homes in the market! ...

Put yourself in your best financial health, as to having the most control over your purchasing experience, i.e., credit score, income to debt ratio. This may sound like obvious advice, but I cannot emphasize this enough. Side note, inquire with the HOA about any personal things you intend to do on your property. I've had a nightmare.

I’m happy with my home however, I had some repair issues that required many and repeated visits.

Everything was built fast like clock work. Moving in while building is still going on around you, not so fun.

Very pleasant process with any issues resolved by the end of the 3rd month. Wonderful neighborhood with great neighbors.

Sprinkler guys did a lousy job. Sprinklers are too deep they didn’t plan for the sod height or level the yard well. Already have had to re-caulk master shower and kids bathroom. Overall we are happy with our home.

The house we bought overall is excellent and, especially with the lot size, is a great price. There were definitely some issues that required us to call out techs multiple times after we moved in.

I would not recommend the Lennar financing team. That is the only reason I would not rate Lennar 5 stars for Trustworthiness and Responsiveness to issues. The finance team could not get my settlement statement correct even right up to closing. I almost walked away from purchasing the villa due to their constant mistakes.

Tiffany from Lennar is awesome. It’s a shame she doesn’t do landscaping, because that’s why lennar gets 4 stars.

Still have dead plants around the house and have not heard from the electrician regarding moving the switches

We love our new home! The lennar "everything included" is a great initiative and provides lot of value without nickel and diming you. There needs to be more supervision and attention to detail - workers overlook many things which have to be addressed later. Customer service post buy is great.

Good homes

Love the floor plan and materials. Workmanship could be better (sloppy drywall, paint, and caulking; numerous electrical shortcomings). Slow to non-existent follow up by subs on punch list items and newly discovered issues. Still waiting after 4 months on about 10% of the items.

Appearance of house is beautiful, and rooms are bright and spacious. Personnel are friendly and accommodating.

Maybe some contractors had to much work and hurried this house. The drywall and paint work are not up to par.

Be careful that you review all the promises that they make to you on the home. Review with the sales agent verbally any issues that you have and get them to put into writing any promises made. Review the extras in the house and make sure you get them when the house is completed. Find out exactly who will be handling any issues that arise. The walk through is important and put in writing what needs to be done and have their person sign for it. Verbal issues just disappear as does the rep they send with you. Make sure they review and meet with you to get the keys and the complex rules.

Care about customer concerns.

The landscaping is not great. Our tree fell over twice and had to be replanted. Part of our property line has washed away because they didn’t put erosion barrier up and so a fifteen foot section of our sod has been washed under causing big holes in the back yard. They supposedly fixed it twice but it’s still there.

I'll provide the negatives. If it's not in the negative, then it's positive 1. Lennar person handling my mortgage was the biggest dissapointment. Not very knowledgeable. Put the wrong insurance company in the closing. Apologized at closing but couldn't do anything about on the day of closing. Promised to help with paperwork to make the change to insurance company that I picked, which happened to be Lennar home insurance. She added reminder to her calendar to reach out to me. Never heard from her. Not too bright of an individual. She provided numbers to me for closing that didn't match the actual numbers. Mortgage rate that she quoted prior to actually filling out application was inline with other mortgage rates. When time came to fill out application and lock the rate 30 days prior to closing, somehow lennar mortgage rates were higher than most banks. At that point you're stuck with Lennar. I paid for points to lower the rate. Now construction. The usual builder special. Some important items are overlooked. Air-conditioning unit is right next to master bedroom window. And it's not as quiet as you're told. You hear it and it will wake you up at night. Appliances are cheap. Bottom of the pick. Dishwasher doesn't dry dishes. Inside walls are even wet after a normal cycle. Lennar is aware, because people complained. But they haven't done anything about it. Good luck cleaning oven. There's no vent to outside. So when you turn on auto clean cycle on the oven, your fire alarms will go off. Microwave vent does nothing except blow the smoke into the main room. The returns and air vents are next to each other in the ceiling. Gets chilly inside the house closer to the floor. Warm air doesn't reach there. Insulation is minimal. Closing went smooth and fast. Lots of paperwork. You're asked to provide support documentation at the beginning, when you apply for mortgage. Then 4-5 months later, when your house is ready and you want to lock the rate, you have to provide same documentation again. The good part, all can be done online. ... More

While we are happy with the house and community, the promises made were not kept. We were told that things that are standard (Everything Included) were actually things that we would have to pay.
