Lennar Reviews in Boise, ID

We started three years ago to find a new home to retire in, in the state of Idaho. We saw the hand of the Lord move in finally bring us to the Lennar development known as Mandalay Ranch, in Caldwell, ID. After searching for the time that we have and picking out the features and design of the home we wanted, the home Lennar offered provided 90% of all we wanted in the asking price. We did not have the experience of choosing features of the home and would have preferred a different layout in the master bathroom, but that is the 10% that was not our preference. But having worked with many home developers over the past 3 years we were glad to work with Lenar who built a beautiful home at a price that fit our budget and provided so much of what we wanted. We needed a lot to build an RV pad and the unique lot the house set on was perfect for this. We have made a substantial investment, in getting the backyard in place. The only think I would encourage Lennar to consider is the put gutters on the entire house. A couple of thousand dollars more would bring to your customer the ability to say they took care of it all. Love out new home and neighborhood. Have been in it for 60 days and it is working out just fine. ... More

Decent value for the money . Read your contract you don't get all what you see in there show houses. Lucky I'm not a lawyer there would probably be a class action suit.

Lots of unfinsh work they didn't clean the house screen door pulls hard the none shower tub has a shower spicit could of been better.

The details of our home were constantly overlooked, and issues we tried to bring attention to were consistently dismissed before they would eventually be addressed.

Lennar was extremely responsive and made the first time home buying process so easy.

The home buying process was fine. We closed and moved in after final repairs were made. Mostly just little thing, dents in drywall, vents not painted etc. I had only had the house for two weeks when I noticed a water leak in the downstairs half bath. Water damage on the drywall and baseboards that was coming from inside the wall. Contacted Lennar and the plumber was out the following Tuesday. From there it has been almost a month of back and forth and my bathroom STILL isnt fixed. My contact with Lennar went radio silent, the scheduled contractors we had never showed up, or showed up on the wrong day. The plumber plumed my stuff backwards and put hot water to the toilet, so my drywall had to be cut back out to fix it. I am truly at my wits end. The house is fine, for the most part. A lot of it is just cut rate carpentry work. No garage door opener for the 3rd bay, no gutters on the house, bad concrete work. BUT you dont know these things until you buy it and live in it. ...

We identified multiple issues throughout the process of the build, yet they were not rectified. Now we are stuck with a large inconvenience as these things still need to be fixed and the emotional stress of not being able to fully move into our new house. The house has to be repainted, multiple windows replaced due to improper installation leaving windows to not close, the conditioned crawl space was not professionally done, multiple finishing issues throughout the house, and the exterior of the house has equal amount of finishing issues and sections of concrete needing to be repoured due to wood and debris being allowed to get into the concrete causing it to crack due to water/ice expansion. Even the design is flawed, given we have over a 110 gallon master bath tub but only a 50 gallon water heater. Industry standard calls for a minimum 2/3 ratio which would be approximately a 75 gallon water heater (why not install a tankless system???). The mortgage/lending team were not familiar with the military or VA loans which was disheartening. I feel like I grossly overpaid, expecting a Lennar quality home that you’d see in other states, but received an “economy” build where you’d expect corners to be cut and quality to be poor. Lennar is better than this, but it doesn’t show and is not represented by my home. I hope they are professional and compensate us appropriately. ... More

Very professional and caring. Always ready to assist and fix any problem in an expeditious manner. Excellent people skills while continually reaching out to resolve problems that may occur. Definitely five-stars earned!

Over valued. Had a list of work that was intended to be completed before closing and was never finished. Poor joints in the trim. Home wasn’t clean when we moved in. Exterior and interior paint not finished. Leaking plumbing. Wiring issues with garage doors. HVAC issues. Doors not hung properly. Loose exterior stone.

The people we worked with have been great, the process of getting into the house was smooth. Then we moved in and discovered very poor workmanship throughout myriad details in the house, details that will ultimately cost us a lot of money and time to fix and/ or affect our resale value down the line. We had a few things addressed in the beginning and then have been ignored. Our neighbors have communicated similar issues. You cannot spend what we did and then be given a house like this with poor customer service. This is not tolerable. Lennar, either do it right the first time, or do it again until it's done right. ... More

It’s been 2 months and there’s no scheduled time for my touch up painting to be done and they are now no longer working with the painter they used and don’t have a new one

Caren is very responsive, professional and delight to work with.

We love David, our CM, and Caren was great! The purchase and loan process went smoothly for the most part, but when the house was being completed and after we have moved in, we have been very disappointed in the quality as well as the team that filled in for David when he was sick. John (I believe his name was) was very dismissive of actual issues, didn’t actually tag the house prior to close, and said things that were frankly untrue about home building, and missed the most basic things, like leaving filthy filters in the home at close. I hate to be this person, but as someone who has built a lot of homes, and been in construction for several years, it has been disappointed to be BS’ed on several occasions. Because of this, I couldn’t recommend Lennar to anyone else. ... More
