Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

During model walk thru or new home construction or during any time throughout the sales process did Lennar explain that SUV owners would find out they cannot fit a mid to small size SUV into a Villa garage. It's too narrow even if I push both side mirrors in.

It has been good so far thank you

Overall experience was good. Like the villa. Some attention to detail a little lax,

Construction person not so great difficult to speak with anyone

Used cheap materials, and it shows. Why no gutters? Think where the water goes when it rains, and it rains a lot in florida. Appliances are cheap, who buys a side by side fridge? The walk thru with a Lennar guy made me feel like I was complaining when all I wanted was a good home, I think I deserve that for $350,000.

It was ok, not a exceptional one

Lennar offer great price but lack in quality

Customer service from Lennar has to improve a lot compared to other builders. This Lennar home is my 3rd home in Tampa and had better customer experience from other builders. For eg: During mortgage approval, Lennar was not flexible to give me options to decide. the representative was very insisting on one option and was always late to respond to queries. another example is Lennar closed the home without appliances in place and took nearly a month to instal. I could not move to new home but was responsible for the mortgage. Also, without approval and after closing my home, the construction manager stored appliances of other homes in my garage. ... More

Construction manager was very responsive to our questions, post closing. Suggestion: at closing, all incomplete work documented and signed by Lennar rep. And buyers as done by GL homes. This would alleviate buyer anxiety.

I wish communication with sales agent was easier. On several occasions, we had to initiate communication. Even if sales agent doesnt have answers, Im ok with that - but that needs to be communicated.

I didn’t have the experience I was expecting. Very poor work quality, materials are not the best, paint was horrible, etc.

Good design but poor quality of internal decoration

Easy to communicate with the sales

My husband and I chose Lennar because we were drawn to the "Everything Included" package and the community was very nice, quiet, and family oriented. Sadly when we got close to our closing date, the original construction manager quit and left MANY things undone. He failed to oversee some of the work done and the new construction manager had to come into MANY problems to try and get things going. He performed miracles, but in the end, beyond control we had some cosmetic things that were done with excellence. Painting was not clean and pristine, some base boards were damaged and simply painted over to hide it. And some were just not cut properly. These are things we will fix because we simply could not delay. I would recommend any buyers stay in close contact with the new construction managers so you point out any concerns. The new manager is very dependable. Unfortunately, we didn't have his oversight throughout our entire build process. So our ratings reflect the process and not the outcome. We probably will not purchase another Lennar home, but we are thankful everything worked out as best as it did for us. ... More

When I bought my house there was a lot of communication, they told me the water was included which was a lie, My house found roaches they offered me fumigation when I bought it and now no one appears to help me, when I need something I have to be sending emails to see who can help me.

We worked with Lennar for 3 Months just to find out we got approved for a loan 3 days before closing. Imagine not getting the loan and wasting 3 months of house hunting? When we were asked for documentation they were uploaded into the portal within hours. We were asked for those documents again days later as the representative wouldn’t be able to find it without me telling them where it was. This was not an easy process. My previous home purchase was seamless compared to this catastrophe.

The buying process itself went very smooth with Lennar. They kept us update to date on what to expect any were on target with time lines. However, the quality of the home is just not there. We noticed issues during the building process and even brought up a few and they weren't ever really addressed. We have uneven spots in the floor upstairs. Walls where you can bowing in the dry wall. They did a horrible job on most of the caulking around our sinks and toilets. The carpet was laid where there are pieces that meet in some odd areas. The tile in our upstairs bathroom looks like the put in no spacing and just slapped pieces in place. They use flat paint which is horrible for any room and we have already had to repaint after just 5 months because you cannot even wipe off the smallest smudge. Overall I would never buy a Lennar home again or recommend it to anyone I know. ... More

I should've spent more time looking at details, like door bell, roof gutters, and garage outside lights. Little things that make a home more beautiful. Staff was great though.

Everything was good up to the closing of our property, we been having some serious issues within our landscaping, and after reaching to them several occasions for options in how to fix the issue, not for them cover the expenses, but for us to get guidance on how-to work the issue. This is a huge "red" flag in any future problems that might come up, which is a shame since everyone up to this point were been really helpful from Sales (Julie) and Finance (Alex) true MVPs. I hope that we can get it sort it out.

Wish they used a little better products; especially lawn and outdoor features

Have had issue with way they constructed pipes. For the townhome community, the back flow pipes are above ground. A car hit mine and it is not under warranty so I had to pay out of pocket According to the plumber, it happens often. Not swel thinking on the design.

Good but not excellent. I gave the review good but not excellent because the structure of the building is good but the finishing touches is not great . The plumbing fixtures are very cheap we’ve been here for just four months and some of them are shaking from the walls already, The door knobs are very cheap as well And for a new homeowner I feel like you have to just move in and relax and not stress about stuff like that. The last thing is how do you build a whole complex with 2 dog parks without a play area for kids ?

Overall my house is nice. There are things that were shown and discussed that were changed or excluded by Lennar that I was not happy about. But once you are in the process, its hard to walk away.

I ran into issues but it wasn’t anything to drastic that would warrant a bad review. I do however think they rushed a lot of the jobs in my house like the paint, rug, cement in the garage, doors have defects, placement of the sprinklers were off, ceiling fans were missing, tried to charge 7k-9k for a fence that cost me 1700, st Augustine grass had an infection soon after moving in, which wasn’t covered under warranty . That’s just a few things. However, like I said it’s not enough for me to call the process bad I’d just like to see those things fixed in the future. Overall, I enjoyed the process of buying my home and the people I worked with made it a lot less stressful on my family. If I had to do it again I would still purchase with lennar due to their affordability, beautiful locations, and the builds they produce being top of the line. ... More

Josh (onsite project coordinator) was helpful. Finance team had way too many people and handoffs. We had to submit the same documents multiple times. Also, our closing date was mixed up due to all of the different players. The house was significantly cheaper than other builders in the neighborhood. However, you get what you pay for. It's like we purchased a brand new Fixer-Upper with all of the modifications and upgrades we are having to make.
