Lennar Reviews in Atlanta, GA

There is no standard pricing on townhomes here as the prices are costlier for first time buyers versus investment home. Costlier prices for normal home than the upgraded homes. So, there is no standard trusted builder pricing as the prices going along the tide. Faster completion of homes, but no proper nailing & who knows what's gone inside the drywall !

Responsiveness to issues would be a five star for warranty but other concerns a one star.

We noticed a few minor issues after closing that were promptly repaired. So far, so good. I love my new home.

Considering this is a 55+ community the access to the A/C unit is in the attic. OK if you have a 2 story model. I don’t but A/C is still in the attic with access pull down stairs in the master closet. The last step to reach the attic floor is approximately 3 feet. An extremely dangerous and for most older people impossible to accomplish. As a former Appraiser I have a reasonable understanding of building codes. I find it hard to believe that this is code compliant. Additionally we have an enormous amount of dead trees throughout the development. I have one on my front lawn. When I spoke with the management company I was told Unless it is discovered at the time of the walkthrough Lennar will not replace it. When you close in January all the trees are dormant. How are you supposed to see if all the trees are dead or alive. ... More

Experience in rather disappointing, but since I have bought it there's no choice. For instance, any addition or modifications can only be done by their 3rd party contractors or warranty is voided. When contacted 3rd party for addition, they are charging 3 to 4 times higher.

Overall it wasn’t a great experience. I was not made aware of my lot boundaries even after closing, slates were not installed. Lot of my land is wasted because that I can’t even use and there are bushes and it’s not leveled. There is a slant on my backyard where Walter stagnates but every time I ask builder, he just come up with some reasoning. Bad design : hvac outer unit makes a lot of noise. And master bed room is right above it. You can’t even sleep it’s that much of noise. Same noise is there in the living room. That unit shouldn’t have been placed outside of living room.

While our initial experience with Lennar's sales representatives was positive, the construction process quickly revealed significant shortcomings that left us deeply dissatisfied with our new home. Pros: Friendly Sales Team: The sales representatives were helpful and attentive during the initial stages of the home buying process. However, their involvement significantly decreased once construction began, leaving us feeling abandoned. Cons: Poor Communication and Lack of Transparency: Lennar failed to proactively inform us about critical milestones like the pre-drywall inspection. It felt like they intentionally avoided scheduling this crucial walkthrough, hoping we wouldn't ask for one. This lack of transparency created an atmosphere of distrust. Unacceptable Construction Management: The construction managers lacked basic people skills, making interactions frustrating and unproductive. Their dismissive attitude towards our concerns added to the overall stress of the building process. Missed Opportunities for Quality Control: Lennar refused to allow a "blue tape" walkthrough before closing, preventing us from identifying and addressing cosmetic defects. Their focus shifted solely to the warranty, which explicitly excludes cosmetic issues. This policy leaves homeowners stuck with flaws that should have been resolved before finalizing the purchase. Subpar Workmanship: We encountered numerous instances of subpar workmanship and questionable material choices. While Lennar was somewhat responsive to these issues, the overall quality of the construction fell far short of expectations. Late Introduction of the Home Buyer Concierge: The home buyer concierge, who is supposed to guide buyers through the process, was introduced far too late into the construction phase to be of any real assistance. This valuable resource should be integrated earlier to provide timely support and address concerns proactively. Overall: Our experience with Lennar was marred by poor communication, a lack of transparency, and a disregard for customer satisfaction. While the sales team was initially helpful, the subsequent construction process was riddled with frustration and disappointment. We would strongly caution prospective buyers to consider these issues before choosing Lennar as their builder. ... More

No clear outline of the process. No clear accountability

I felt that the quality of work and the materials used were very poor quality and the team knew it but let it slide.

Communication was not clear during the process. Had to chase down contacts. Continuous pushbacks with no explanation of why. Overall, I would not buy another home from the builder based on that part alone. I was so glad to be done with all reps in every process during the process. Nice home but stressful process to close. Not worth it

Lenner make promises during the walk-through that has not been fulfilled!!!! We are still waiting to get the outside door painted along with touchup work inside. This experience has been very frustrating!

When my realtor and I went to the Lennar office for our scheduled appointment, we were told we couldn't use the prices on the sheet we were handed as there had been a price increase. That evening we received the updated sheet from Michelle, and yes there was a 5 thousand increase. The next day, March 1, we returned to the office as I had make the decision to go ahead and purchase the house. I left a voided check so that my account could be debited for the deposit. The problem was that the contract didn't get written and processed until a week later. During that weeks time the price increased another 5 thousand dollars. To this day, I feel that was not right for that to happen after I had agreed to purchase at a given price. I feel it was not Michelle's fault, as her coworker, Brandie, had been and was out sick for awhile I believe with Covid. Being in the office and seeing the number of people coming in looking and asking questions, the phones ringing, I could see that one person could not handle it all. So, in my opinion Lennar was at fault for not having adequate help in the office. Michelle, said she went to bat for me with the builder, almost having a melt down, but got nowhere with being given consideration. She said there was an across the board increase. Well and good, but a house that was agreed upon at a certain price and that should have had the contract filled out, the buyer should have had that price honored. I gave an overall 3 star rating because Michelle was professional and nice; her work load was just too much for any one person. ... More

I would advise potential homeowners to consider waiting to close on their home until their ENTIRE punch list is either complete or is very short and reasonable in length. It is reiterated to you once you receive a closing date, especially at the end of the month The subcontractors for paint, Nickolas C, area construction manager, has yet to meet with me despite my requests as well as the requests from the builder and the Director of Customer Care for him to do so. I hesitate to refer other buyers to purchase from Lennar.

The orientation of the home as it turns out was awful. NOTHING was explained regarding hot water tank use and especially all the RING stuff and the fact it had to be installed within 55 days or HIPPO insurance comes with money owed due to missing the date. NONE of that was ever explained.

Unsatisfactory house for the price paid.

Lennar builds FAST homes not quality homes.

Highly disappointed overall. House is cute. But craftmanship is poor. I still have a red GA clay backyard; a patio that is cracked so badly the underlayment is showing. The knee wall is the shower is very titled - leaning tower of Piza style. Shower floor has issues. But the mud yard is gruesome.

I believe the builder are good people. Just to much work in a short time. When your moving fast you make mistakes. Service after the sale is everything, at present the response times on painting and repairs are slow. I hope we get all of our punch list taken care of as some are big. Hoping for the best that we are able to get them completed. Note, the walk way down to the lake is to steep and not wide enough for two golf carts. This is dangerous and does not make sense for a 55 over community. This need immediate attention before someone gets injured. Question how often have you used this builder? Is this the first build with this builder? How many years has this builder been in business? Based on seeing the lack of results and poor workmanship I’m concerned for my purchase. Still hoping it works out. Please help. Thanks for the time. ... More

The sales team were great. The general contractor and basically the build of the house made me question the quality.

Unfortunately the quality of the materials used to build these homes has gone down significantly.

It appears all they want to do is sell houses and once you buy one you are put on the back burner. Enjoy the community and the neighbors.

I have been attempting to get resolution regarding grading issues with my lot. I have experienced standing water for greater than 24 hours after a normal rain within 10 feet of my home's foundation. This is an issue with the standard noted under the warranty. The warranty states the builder is responsible for at least one attempt to correct this issue. I have only been in my home since July 2021 and have attempted to communicate with customer care for the past 3 months. I have been told several times that a landscaper will come to assess the grading; however, this has not happened to date. I leave voicemails and get no response from the Customer Relation Specialist or Director. This is such a large investment and I figured my concerns would be addressed in a more professional manner. It was my hope to have this issue resolved without having to obtain legal representation but the builder is leaving me with no choice in order to get this concern addressed appropriately. This is a very distressing and disappointing situation. ... More

Initial process was great, however we still have punch and warranty items left open after 4 months from closing. There is no sense of urgency or communication regarding a resolution. I have to call and hassle only to be told “I’m waiting on my manger, so I can give you the correct answer “. It seems like Lennar has left Dunwoody Village in their rear view mirror.

Once you get the CO and move in, the work that should have been fixed was not completed on our home. I plan to start with work order for each of the items not completed.

Finishing touches were somewhat shoddy. For example poor coat of paint on the door and inferior paint job on the inside.
