Lennar Reviews in Chicago, IL

We purchased during a hot market and there was no flexibility with Lennar. They were also very sltow respond if you had questions. With that being said we are happy with the house we purchased with a few minor things we will have to fix.

Even with the material and labor shortages faced throughout the country, our home was finished only 5 days after the original projected date.

there big amazing homes ,but it seems like they rush threw them.

Lennar is too slow completing repairs because of their reporting system.

Building quality is not the best.

Truthfully not happy with the workmanship on our new home. So many little things wrong that should have been fixed before we even did our final walkthrough. Doors with dents in them, the paint job was awful, it looks like a third grader built parts of the house. Shotty workmanship, Lennar will hire anyone to do the work. When you buy a brand new home you expect things to be NEW not already destroyed because workers are careless.

quality of materials is to poor and cheap my floor noise

The overall process was relatively smooth and pleasant. The sales team was very responsive and answered questions quickly, and once the closing was set, things moved very efficiently. Very disappointed in the lack of attention to detail and overall shoddy work in the finish of the home. All of the touch up was very poorly done. Globs of touch up left on door frames without being smoothed/sanded. When the house was shown on the "new home orientation," it was not very presentable. The cleaners did next to nothing to clean. There was paint on the floors that weren't cleaned up, nails left in the deck, and numerous other items that had to be pointed out. It's disappointing that all of the work seems rushed, and on top of that, there are supervisors and people around who should be checking this but seem to take no time to walk through themselves and get it corrected. I expected that everything would look perfect for the price of this new construction. It was very far from that standard. ... More

The landscaping was started later even after the weather was clear and sunny Landscaping put less flowers into our yard than the house across my house 2311 southwind. The only plausible justification is to appease new homeowners and not listen to the current homeowners. Lastly, I have been told “you don’t know if the lawn is getting water by seeing it dry since it was installed”. Landscapping missed putting the additional Sprinklers and you can see with your naked eyes that entire patch of lawn is dry Please put more consistent flowers like the house across 2311 southwind and put an additional sprinkler ...

Bad experience with the underwriter during the loan process, Once we took the keys we found the floor with paint spots throughout the first floor, the basement had so much dirt on the floor it filled my container from my vacuum, the floor vinyl is pulling up in some corners & bubbling up in others, the refrigerator door was dented and scuffed, the upstairs has an area that makes a squeaking noise as you walk down the hallway, the garage man door has a lot of small dents along with the garage door, the basement sliding door was dirty along with the door track area that was filled with dirt, the front porch had a lot of dirt, along with the front door as well. When they came to pour the drive way the guys left tar on my font sidewalk, and there was a guy eating sunflower seeds as he was driving the roller machine he would spit out the seeds onto the drive way and would go over them with the roller embedding the seeds into the drive way. I had to pull them all out, the sod and seed were placed onto the dirt that already had a good amount of weeds growing before they put the sod and the bed of seed down and as the grass has grown so have the weeds... We are not happy about that. ... More

The homes are nice. I feel like they are just slapped together though. The sales people were nice and helpful. The construction manager is amazing. The loan department is awful.

Not to use your mortgage company.

When things needed fixing, it took a long time to do it correctly

Within the first week my microwave broke and had to be fixed. The stove drawer is very flimsy and comes off track. Within 4 months 2 door knobs came apart and the screw to hold it together is missing. You can see ripples in the vinyl flooring between the rafters of the flooring. It's like only the bare minimum was done by building code. The cement work outside the patio door is so rough, you need shoes to walk on it. one of my windows has missing film. It was pointed out at the 2 week walk through and I haven't heard anything. I thought we were supposed to get a 2 month walk through, but no one ever contacted us. We've been in the house for over 4 months ... More

Poor quality and response to incidents are very bad. Response to tickets is very bad. Nominal quality materials.

The quality of the home was short of my expectations. There was paint on the floor, paint on the walls were not smooth at all. Overall the home was Mediocre not like the Model we fell in love with at all.

Lennar home models and layouts are superb. Also the process was not exhausting with too many choices like other builders do. But quality needs to be improved. Most of the home buyers don't know but I think Lennar cuts on things that customers really don't think of too much during the process which cost more to the customers later on. For example, 1. Not using conduit pipes for wiring 2. Not using standard cans light that are readily available in the market

Average experience, multiple issues still open. We in the home so bottom of the priority list

My first time homebuying experience has been harrowing. It had taken four months for my driveway and walkway to be laid, and I'm still waiting on the landscaping. I get most of the process is weather contingent, but I've seen other homes around me completed and the owner have yet to move in. It has been an inconvenience having to park on the street with limited parking. I love my home, but the process has been exhausting.

Good home for first home owners

Sales and closing excellent mortgage fare quality and workmanship week

House is very nice, but I’ve been in the home about two months and I’m having issues. Too many to list. I’m waiting for lennar to set up “warranty” services. Which these should have been addressed at a QC phase.

I have plenty of picture to show the poor craftsmanship put into the construction. Seems like attention to detail was lacking. My wife and I had to wait 3 months past our original closing date with little to no contact from Lennar. We had put our trust totally in Lennar and even went to Lennar Mortgage. As a matter of fact, it was our Mortgage Consultant that informed us that our original closing date of 1/14/22 was not going to be met. We had to scramble to find a place to live till our actual closing 3/25/22. Not only did this create a financial burden to rent, but we lost 1.5% on the mortgage rate. We are currently in the 45 day warranty period and have submitted our list of corrects. Hopefully this aspect will not be the same poor survive we have received thus far. Should I have to live 11 months with a crack in the ceiling, that was pointed out a week before closing, because that is the walls policy. ... More

They are very one sided. As long as it is in their favor they are willing to make changes. However if the client needs something, they won’t budge an inch.

We were handed over hose without drive way , without landscaping , it is 2 months now , still not complete, basic work, few electric outlets. , floor uneven , poor floor carpets, no vanity lights in bathrooms or drive way, space between garage door and floor , no back slash
